Old plumbing pipes do not all need replacement at the same age. The decision depends on pipe material, condition, corrosion, leak history, water quality and the cost of ongoing repairs. Warning signs may include repeated leaks, discolored water, reduced pressure or visible corrosion on accessible sections. A qualified assessment can help determine whether a localized repair, partial replacement or whole-house repiping is appropriate. If renovating, it may be practical to evaluate accessible plumbing before walls and floors are closed. Ask for a clear explanation of findings and the proposed scope.
