While spending more time at home, you’ve probably started noticing repairs you need to make.
You may even have tackled a few projects to improve your home. However, there are some home improvements you might not consider, because they’re hidden until they reach their breaking point — like your home’s plumbing system.
You rely on the pipes to bring safe water into your home for cleaning, laundry — and drinking — every day. Unfortunately, you can’t usually tell something is wrong until they leak, creating water damage costing thousands of dollars.
The good news is, there are signs which indicate it’s time to repipe your home. And when you do it right, that one project can save thousands of dollars and lots of future headaches by preventing leaks, water damage — and unsafe drinking water.
Here’s what to look for.If your shower quickly switches from icy cold to burning hot, corroded materials may have broken off inside the pipes and jammed the anti-scald device or valve regulating your water temperature.
