Replacing galvanized water lines is important for several reasons. Galvanized pipes corrode over time, leading to leaks and water quality issues. Rust can build up which can lead to harmful metals into your water. As pipes corrode and accumulate mineral deposits, the interior diameter decreases, resulting in reduced water flow and pressure. Newer materials, like PEX offer greater durability, flexibility, and resistance to corrosion, ensuring a longer lifespan. Replacing galvanized water lines is a proactive step towards maintaining a safe and efficient plumbing system. For this customer, we used color coded PEX to ensure there were no mishaps of cross connecting, and to ensure the hard and soft water lines would be correct in order to install a softener later on. Soft water has fewer minerals by running through the softener, making it less likely to cause buildup in pipes and appliances. Hard water is beneficial for certain uses, like hose bibs to water your lawn, and in your kitchen to wash dishes. You never want soft water running to a place where you could possibly drink. This is why it is important to know which pipes are going to what fixtures. Call UpFront for your plumbing needs today and get scheduled for a free estimate!
