We often think of faulty water tanks, overflowing toilets, and leaky faucets when we think about plumbing problems. But your whole piping system can fail, too. And when it does, the water damage can be disastrous. In a climate prone to dampness like Surry County, any excess water can have lasting negative effects on your home.
Home repiping can ensure your system is leak-free and operating properly. Trust the Jay’s Heating, Air, and Plumbing team for repiping services in Mount Airy, NC.
Signs You Need Home Repiping
Pipes are the arteries of your plumbing system. They have no mechanism of their own, so they’re often forgotten when you think about annual servicing and general maintenance — until something goes wrong. Watch for these faulty pipe warning signs to avoid a water disaster down the road.
Frequent leaks and burst pipes
Frequent leaks are a sign of damaged or faulty pipes. Leaks may start at the joints and junctions, but pin-hole pricks can spring up anywhere along the line. Look for water stains along the walls and in the ceiling if you suspect hidden leaks.
A burst pipe is obvious as long as you’re home when it happens. You’ll notice decreased water pressure and pooling, flooding, or dripping.
Corrosion and rust
High-velocity water, chemical drain cleaners, imbalanced pH, and oxidation can cause pipes to corrode and rust. Signs of corrosion include increased metallic taste, foul odors, discolored water, and poor water pressure.
The soft water of Surry County can also corrode pipes as it leaches metals like copper out of the pipes. Over time, this weakens the pipes and leads to pinholes.
Decreased water pressure
Corroded, leaking, and burst pipes can cause decreased water pressure. Sediment build-up can narrow the pipes, leading to lowered water volume and decreased pressure.
Discolored water
Cloudy, spotted, yellow, reddish, or brown water can result from damaged pipes, a faulty water tank, bacteria and mold growth, and corrosion. In many cases, discolored water is a sign of hazardous and contaminated water inside the home.
Outdated piping materials
If your home’s construction predates modern building codes and you haven’t updated your pipes, it’s likely the water is running through outdated piping materials.

Benefits of Home Repiping
Plumbing repiping has many benefits including increased home value and lower heating bills. But we think you’ll appreciate these benefits the most:
Improved water quality
Water quality is a concern for many Americans and the residents of South Central Appalachia are no different. Repiping ensures that any contaminants built up in your pipes don’t continue to leach into your water. For top-quality water, ask about our water purification systems. Repiping your existing system is the perfect opportunity to install a whole-home water filtration system.
Enhanced performance
With new pipes comes enhanced performance in water flow and water-dependent appliances. You will notice more consistent water pressure from all your faucets. Better plumbing systems and improved water quality also lead to a decrease in soap and detergent use because you need less to achieve the same results.
Preventative maintenance
We think preventative maintenance is the top benefit of home repiping. Frequent plumbing repairs are disruptive and costly. You can avoid future costly repairs by proactively addressing potential plumbing problems like old and faulty piping. Preventative maintenance can also extend the service life of your system.
