Orange County Underground Leak – A Ticking Time Bomb
Orange County Underground Leak
Many of our clients in Orange County, CA ask us: What is the likelihood of having another underground leak, if I already had one ? Do I need to wait and see if I am going to have more leaks before repiping? Or, do I need to repipe as soon as possible?
Our answer to that is: If your pipes are more than 20 years old and you’ve had one or more underground leaks, it is definitely time to repipe your house! Slab leaks work like a ticking bomb. You just don’t know when the next one will happen, but do know, that it will definitely happen. It is just a matter of time.
After you’ve figured that you may need to repipe your house , it is wise to consider a few things.
Thigs to consider after having an underground leak:
First, have a licensed plumbing contractor detect your leak and evaluate your water distribution system.
Second, discuss with your plumbing contractor what design alternative is best in your case. For example, is keeping the existing water system design better than re-designing it and coming up with a new and improved water system? Answering such questions will help you decide on the best choice for your repipe project.
Third, determine what materials should be used for repiping in your area/case. Every material is different, therefore, asking the plumbing contractor to explain the pros and cons about PEX vs Copper piping for your project is a must.
