Plumbing Key Phrases
Summary
Nothing lasts forever, including the pipes inside your house. Over the decades, the tubing gradually corrodes, rusts, and decays. Unless you replace plumbing, you’re eventually going to get leaks—and possibly a flood of water or raw sewage into your home that causes thousands of dollars in damage to your building and belongings. Well-maintained pipes may last longer, and poorly maintained ones or those in areas with hard water (meaning it has high mineral content), may fail sooner. The technician has determined that a replacement is necessary due to the location of the leak under and the expense to repair at that location combined with the risk of future leaks in the old pipe.
