Poor water pressure: Do you turn on your hot
water and find that the pressure is not as
strong as it should be? This could be due to
old galvanized steel water lines that are
corroding. The build up that has formed in
the pipes prevents your water pressure from
being as high as it should be. Hot water
pipes are usually the first to demonstrate
this tell tale sign.
Rusty water: When your pipes corrode they
will eventually contaminate your water and
make your water undrinkable. If your water
is looking discolored or rusty, it may very
well be a sign that it is time to replace
your waterlines.
Foul smelling water: If your water has a bad
odor, this could be indicative of corroding
waterlines.
Water line
leaks: Leaking, burst or broken water lines
that are dripping, clogged or leaking.
