While old homes may be pocket-friendly purchases, they tend to have a lot of structural, air conditioning, and plumbing problems. Therefore, it is extremely important to conduct a sewer camera inspection in Colorado Springs, CO before moving into your new home. BullsEye Plumbing Heating & Air discusses more below:
Old Pipes
Your home is one of the primary investments in your life, and as such, everything has to be right before purchase. Older homes contain pipes made of materials that are more likely to degrade quickly over time. The materials in use before 1975 for making pipes were cast iron and clay. The two materials are strong but will rust with time and are easily penetrated by roots. A pipe inspection will help you know the state of your sewer system and allow you to schedule the necessary repairs.
Slow Water Flow
Restricted water flow is often a sign of underlying drain problems such as clogs or leaks. It is a result of, but not limited to, mineral build-up. Minerals from the water can react with your pipe’s materials to foster bacteria growth endangering your health. A plumbing inspection from certified professionals can help determine the causes of restricted water flow. Some other reasons you may be experiencing poor water flow include.
- A defective pressure regulator
- Partially opened meter valve or main shutoff valve
- Corrosion in your pipes
Toxic Pipe Materials
As said earlier, old pipe materials are highly susceptible to damage over time. In addition, these materials used in old pipes before the 1990s posed health concerns to people. Pipes made with polybutylene, galvanized steel, and lead pose health risks and easily trigger pipe damage. A sewer inspection will help inspect pipe damage and confirm your home’s piping material.
