Our local Chino/Chino Hills team responds to more water damage emergencies than any other form of property damage emergency in Sleepy Hollow. One common cause of pipe failure is age-related deterioration.

Homes that have older plumbing systems that are made of materials like galvanized steel or polybutylene, can degrade over time. Galvanized steel pipes are prone to rust and corrosion, while polybutylene pipes are known for becoming brittle and being prone to cracking with age. Eventually, these pipes can develop weak points and leaks. In some cases, homeowners may need to proactively replace older plumbing systems to avoid major pipe failures, extensive water damage, and costly repairs.

To prevent these common forms of pipe failure, regular maintenance and inspections of your home's plumbing system are crucial. Additionally, it's important to be aware of the materials used in your plumbing and consider replacing older pipes to avoid potential issues in the future.
