Signs You Have a Pipe Problem
Common pipe problems include broken, cracked, offset or collapsed pipes, corroded, blocked and bellied pipes, leaking joints, and roots in the sewer line. Some of these pipe problems are easy to spot, but others may be tricky. Here are some common signs you may have a pipe problem:
- Visible leaks
- Low water pressure
- Strange noises
- Rust in the water
- Foul odors
- Wet stains on ceiling or walls
- Mold or mildew growth
Frozen & Burst Pipe Repairs
Freezing temperatures and wind chills, common in New York’s Southern Adirondacks, create a substantial risk for frozen pipes in the winter. Water inside your pipes can turn to ice, expanding and blocking the line. These blockages create pressure throughout the system and cause pipe failures in vulnerable places. Even small cracks can release more than 200 gallons of water in a day.
If you have a frozen or burst pipe, immediately shut off your water, and call our 24/7 emergency line at (518) 792-7114. While waiting for Jack Hall Plumbing & Heating to arrive, we recommend removing any water to prevent long-term damage. Once on the scene, our plumber will assess the damage, discuss your pipe repair or replacement options, and ensure your pipes are working properly again.
Pipe Replacement
If your pipes suffer extensive damage from freezing or tree roots, your pipes are corroded or rusted, or you’re repeatedly dealing with leaky pipes, it’s best to replace your pipes to ensure the integrity of your plumbing system. Likewise, if you’re remodeling your home and would like to improve water efficiency, or you have an older home with galvanized steel or lead pipes, replacing old pipes with safer, more modern, durable materials is a wise investment.
Jack Hall Plumbing & Heating specializes in PEX piping installation, which offers our customers a flexible, durable and reliable solution that won’t corrode like metal or lead pipes.
