Explore Pipe Corrosion Risks In Old Homes
Surprising Myths About Home Plumbing
Among the plethora of myths spun around home plumbing, the most pernicious is that only visible leaks matter. In truth, unseen chemical reactions can corrode pipes from the inside, undetected without professional assessment.
Another surprisingly common misconception is that plastic pipes, which replaced many older systems, are immune to these issues. While more resistant, they are still susceptible under certain conditions, such as drastic temperature changes.
Then there’s the belief that annual water testing isn’t necessary unless problems are evident. Routine testing, however, can catch early contamination signs, providing critical insights into your plumbing’s health.
But perhaps the most compelling myth to demystify is that preventative plumbing measures are unnecessary just because things “look fine.” Are you ready to challenge these beliefs and engage in informed home care?
