There can be few things more discouraging than the experience of turning on a tap in your kitchen or bathroom, only to discover that rust has tainted the water with a brown, murky discolouring. This could be the result of several scenarios involving old, galvanised pipes that require repiping. Indicators that your water pipes needing repiping, include:
DISCOLOURATION - Rust-coloured or yellow-coloured water could indicate that your house contains old and worsening pipes. Older homes typically contain galvanised pipes, or iron pipes with a layer of zinc around them. However, within time the zinc corrodes. The iron’s contact with water thus results in the water pipes rusting.
LEAKING PIPES – Repairing leaky pipes could address a specific plumbing problem. However, this is just a temporary solution. You should certainly think about repiping your plumbing system in full. This will help to prevent future problems involving leaky pipes, as well as other problematic situations.
LOW WATER PRESSURE – Clogged pipes frequently results from one or multiple water pipes being stopped up. Ageing galvanised pipes result in corrosion and rust accumulating on the interior of the pipes. This clogs the normal flow of water through them.
If you're experiencing these problems in Sydney, the solution could be a copper repipe from Swift Plumbing.
What makes copper an ideal metal for repiping? Like gold and silver, copper is soft and can be shaped without experiencing cracking when exposed to either warm or cold temperatures. This makes it ideal for coating water pipes. In addition, copper resists corrosion well, thus preventing rust. In addition, it can be coated with “patina,” which further prevents corrosion. Finally, copper’s melting point is over 1000 degrees Celsius, causing it to melt in only extremely high temperatures.
So if you are suffering from dirty water, or are tired of washing machines taking an eternity to complete their cycles, or are fed up of showers that are more of a dribble than a soaking - you may want to consider the benefits of a copper repipe from Swift Plumbing. We can give you an estimate, and an assurance of professional service with respect for your home and your time, all backed by a written guarantee.
