A home’s plumbing is not something that has to be replaced often. But, for every home, the time eventually comes. There is no hard and fast rule about when plumbing needs to be replaced because certain variables heavily influence the timing of plumbing replacement. While nobody wants to have to replace their home’s plumbing, the plumbing will usually start to show signs that it is time to do so. Unfortunately, unless you just built your home or installed plumbing in the last 5 – 10 years, your plumbing may be outdated or have hidden problems forming. And, the last thing you want is to delay a necessary plumbing replacement only to wind up with massive water damage to your home.
