We restore water damage 365 days a year in San Bernardino County.

Our local Chino/Chino Hills team has been restoring water damage in El Prado for many years. Aging pipes are of the most common causes of water damage issues. Aging pipes in your home can lead to water damage, leaks, and costly repairs.

Knowing the signs of wear and tear can help you determine when it's time to replace or repair your pipes. One of the clearest indicators is frequent leaks. If you notice recurring leaks, this could be a sign that the pipes are corroded or damaged, and patching the problem may no longer be enough.

Discolored water is another telltale sign of aging pipes. Brown or rust-colored water indicates corrosion inside the pipes, which can weaken their structure and lead to leaks. Similarly, reduced water pressure could signal a buildup of rust or mineral deposits restricting water flow, which often points to deteriorating pipes.

Noisy pipes, such as banging, whistling, or gurgling sounds when you turn on the faucet, may also indicate that the pipes are worn or improperly fitted, necessitating a professional inspection.

Also, if your home still has older pipes made of materials such as galvanized steel or polybutylene, they are likely past their life expectancy and should be replaced to prevent future issues. Regular inspections and maintenance can help you catch problems early, saving you from more extensive damage later.
