Common Plumbing Problems In Older Houses

Common Plumbing Problems In Older Houses

Homes from the early 1900s and earlier are full of lore and history. They are tangible evidence of the people and places who lived there and how they changed over time. Many potential purchasers value a property’s history as high as its aesthetic value and opportunity for improvement. If you need reliable plumbers Sydney. Our plumbing services cover both homes and businesses.

Common Plumbing Issues in Older Homes

While a building’s or home’s age might be a selling point in terms of aesthetics, it can be a limiting issue in terms of its practicality, particularly regarding plumbing. Some typical plumbing problems in older houses include:

Old and Outdated Plumbing

Much like the human body, repeated usage and the passage of time combine to diminish old plumbing performance. For example, taps can break and leak, while other fixtures like valves, spigots and handles can corrode over time – even if they’ve been made with superior materials. Leaks and drops in water pressure and old and outdated plumbing corrosion can lead to more significant problems that may require expensive repairs.

Galvanised Pipes

Iron pipes galvanized with zinc to prevent rust and corrosion are a standard fixture in older buildings. The zinc coating doesn’t always endure; eventually, the parts will rust without causing a decrease in the water pressure, and there may be leaks in the pipes.

Plastic pipes are preferred by plumbers and homeowners alike because they are corrosion-proof, lightweight, simple to install, and resistant to most chemicals. See a professional plumber if you need help deciding which plumbing fixture is suitable for your house.

Root/Tree Damage

If your home is decades old, you may come across trees on your property that is at least that old. A tree’s roots that are older than the structure itself can be both a beautiful and a problematic aspect.

While spreading in all directions, tree roots seldom consider where your pipes could be. They lack the innate cognition to recognize a pipe and adapt their growth to it. Tree roots may and will find their way into pipes and develop there, producing clogs, water pressure problems, and even large leaks.
