Professional Piping Solutions In Los Gatos, Saratoga, Monte Sereno, Campbell, San Jose, Willow Glen & Beyond

Every drain in your home – from the shower in your bathroom to the sink in your kitchen – is connected to a network of pipes that carry waste and water out of your home and into a sewer. Although your drain system is durable, pipes are not made to last forever. Old pipes may need to be replaced and leaks need to be repaired. Cracked or damaged pipes can lead to a variety of problems and cause serious health concerns.

Repairing or replacing pipes starts with locating and evaluating the problem. At Simply Green Plumbing, Sewer & Rooter, we have the tools, technology, and experience needed to properly diagnose piping issues throughout the home. We can repair or replace pipes connected to your sink, toilet, shower, bathtub, or water heater.

Effective Pipe Repairs and Replacements

Our plumbers take the time to carefully analyze the problem and provide an accurate diagnosis. Once we have located the source of the problem, we’ll determine whether it requires repair or replacement. We are committed to keeping our customers informed, so you’ll be updated every step of the way.

Signs the Pipes Need Replacing

Based on our diagnosis of your plumbing issues, we will inform you whether your pipes can be repaired or if a full replacement is warranted. Some indicators that repairs won’t resolve the problem include:

1. Very old pipes. Pipes can last for decades, but there will come a time when they are beyond repair. Depending on the types of piping in your house, pipes can last up to 100 years. If they are near their life expectancy, it may be worthwhile to replace them with newer, more efficient models.
2. The pipes are lead or polybutylene. Lead pipes can pose a serious health hazard. If your house has lead pipes, they should be replaced no matter what their condition. Polybutylene pipes are brittle and prone to breakage, so repairs won’t solve the problem for very long.
3. Visible corrosion. If the pipes show signs of corrosion, they cannot be repaired. Replace any pipes that contain rust, discoloration, or flaking.
4. Cracked pipes. Leaks can result from cracks in the pipes. If the crack is small and the pipe is in otherwise good condition, it may be able to be repaired. Larger or multiple cracks may indicate a replacement is needed.
5. Discolored water. If the water flowing from the pipes is tinted yellow, brown, or red, it’s a sign that the pipes are corroded. Replacement is the only option.
6. Low water pressure. If you notice the water pressure has diminished, it can also be a sign of corrosion inside the pipes restricting the flow.
