Most homeowners will not have to worry about replacing their plumbing pipes any more than once in their lifetime as most plumbing and sewer systems are built to last for up to a century. If you are purchasing or live in an old house, then it is a good idea to have the lines inspected for misalignments, corrosion, and damage. Ignoring damaged pipes that need to be replaced can expose you and your property to harmful bacteria, pathogens, and microbes. Mr. Rooter Plumbing is always ready to help when you need a repair, replacement, or installation. If you are wondering what it will cost, then keep reading to learn more.

The Cost of NOT Replacing Old Pipes

You do not have much of a choice when your pipes are beyond repair. Ignoring severely damaged pipes can cost more than NOT replacing them. First, there is the risk damaged pipes pose to your property. Leaks, flooding, and water damage can destroy personal property, breed mold and mildew, and devastate the integrity of your building's structure. There are also health hazards. Lead leaching into your water supply and exposure to harmful bacteria, pathogens, and microbes can be life-threatening. You can also be liable for damages if wastewater and waste from your pipes contaminate groundwater and soil.

Cost to Replace or Upgrade A Plumbing System

As we mentioned earlier, there is certainly a cost involved with not replacing old pipes. So, you can consider those avoided costs as savings when you decide to replace or upgrade your plumbing system.
Replacing the plumbing system is indeed a great endeavor. This sort of project involves a lot of digging and cutting that can turn your property inside out. Plumbers in Atlanta GA will very likely need to open walls and floors. Granted, some modern tools and techniques minimize collateral damage. Still, a full replacement can cost thousands of dollars for even a relatively small home.
The best way to know what a replacement will cost is to schedule a professional inspection. If your pipes are damaged or your drinking water is discolored, then it would be wise to have the plumbing system inspected.
