After years of use, it’s impossible for your pipes not to break down somewhat. Whether because of a specific problem or general wear and tear, if you live in the same home long enough, eventually, you are going to need pipe repair or replacement. The good news is that Steve’s Plumbing & A/C Service can provide a fast and efficient inspection to determine the issues your pipes are having and what steps need to be taken to fix them. In some cases, you may only need a minor repair. Other times, your house may require whole-home repiping service. The good news is that no matter what, our courteous and respectful plumbers will provide you with upfront prices and honor 100% of all warranties—so you never have to worry about whether you are getting a good deal.

Top signs you may need to call Steve’s Plumbing & A/C Service for Oahu pipe repair or replacement include:

1. Water stains coming through the walls: If you find that water is seeping through your walls, flooring, or ceiling, and it hasn’t rained recently, we can almost guarantee it’s because of a cracked/broken pipe. Never ignore wet spots in your home, as that leak is only going to get worse, costing you a lot of money and potentially leading to mold or mildew growth.
2. Frequent clogs around your house: Clogs can result from a number plumbing of problems, though it’s not always due to what you are putting down your drains. Sometimes, after years of corrosion in your pipes, they may start to become obstructed all on their own. If this is the case in your house, you will likely need to have your old pipes replaced.
3. Water that is discolored: Discolored water is another sign of rust and corrosion in your pipes. While it is possible this is a problem with your municipal water supply, if the issue has come on suddenly, do not hesitate to hire a plumber to see if your piping is causing this to happen.
4. Extremely poor water pressure: If your water pressure has been decreasing lately, it could be due to a problem in your water heater or even your exterior water main. However, your water pressure may also be lowered when your plumbing system ages and your pipes cannot handle the needs of your home anymore. Regardless, low water pressure isn’t good for anybody, so you should always have a plumber come to check it out.
5. An aging home: Homes built prior to 1960 frequently used piping made out of galvanized steel. This piping was thought to be effective at the time because it was dipped in zinc to prevent rust and corrosion, yet it later turned out that galvanized steel not only broke down quickly, it sometimes contained dangerous traces of lead. Polybutylene piping then became a go-to between the late ‘70s and early ‘90s. However, these easy-to manufacture pipes, made out of a plastic resin, proved too sensitive to sustain the water needs of the average household for long periods of time. So if your home is 30-yeard-old or older, there is a good chance that your pipes are made of one of these unstable materials. Fortunately, Steve’s Plumbing & A/C Service can offer you long-lasting copper, PEX, or PVC pipes when replacing your piping system.

When you hire Steve’s Plumbing & A/C Service for pipe replacement or repair in Oahu, our experts will carefully diagnose any and all problems with your pipe lines. This can be done through an in-pipe video inspection you can look at yourself. We’ll then discuss your options of cleaning, traditional line repair and replacement, and trenchless repair or replacement. A spot repair is likely to be your best option if your problems are limited to one short section of pipe. But if the line is old or in generally poor condition, replacement is your best option in the long-run. Fortunately, with our trenchless, cured-in-place pipe lining, we will be able to install a new pipe line in your home with minimal disruption to your property.

What are the benefits of trenchless pipe repairs?

• Minimal Impact: Traditional drain and sewer line repair require that a trench be dug in your yard, tearing up all landscaping in its path. Trenchless pipe lining only requires a couple small holes to be dug, saving your landscaping from extensive damage.
• Monetary Savings: By skipping the excavation of your yard and subsequent landscaping repair, trenchless pipe service can save you more than half the cost of traditional pipe replacement.
• Less Time: Because traditional pipe repair and replacement usually requires digging and refilling trenches on your property, the process can take several days to complete. But with trenchless sewer and drain line repair/replacement, the job can be completed in as little as one day!
