Are Your Central Florida Plumbing/Water Pipes Corroding From The Inside Out?

How do you know if your Central Florida plumbing pipes are corroding from the inside out? From the kitchen and bathroom faucets, laundry, toilets, to the drains, the pipes are almost constantly being used. No matter how old your house is, corrosion can occur and end up costing you money in repairs and high water bills.

It is important to be vigilant and identify worn out plumbing pipes early.  Over time, pipes break down and can go unnoticed for an extended period of time. Especially if you have an older home.

Stay Proactive and Look For These Signs

Annual inspection of your plumbing can catch undetected water leaks before they cause damage. Be on the look out for unexplained moisture or brown stains on the ceiling or walls. Mold is another culprit of a hidden leak, high moisture can cause serious health problems and should be addressed as soon as possible.

Also, check the water in the bathrooms and laundry room. If you notice a yellowish tint or even a brown hue, this is a good indication your pipes are having a problem.

If you turn the faucet or shower off and water is still dripping, don't ignore it, get it fixed!  Just a small drip can add up to a lot of water.
