How old are your pipes?

Knowing how old your plumbing system is can help access their repair needs. Lack of maintenance, poor installation, corrosion, water chemistry and high water pressure are the leading causes of breaks in the plumbing pipes. Nearly half of the water pipes in America are in poor shape, according to a report from the National Association of Water Companies.

Do you have large trees close to your water service line?

Do you know what your water and sewer pipes are made of?

Unfortunately, all piping materials corrode and deteriorate over time. “Nearly 75 percent of all utilities have corrosive soil conditions and combined with a high portion of old cast iron and ductile iron pipes, corrosion is ranked the second-highest reason for water main pipe failure in the United States.” according to a study by Steven Folkman, USU professor of mechanical and aerospace engineering.
