How to Know That You Need to Replace Sanitary Pipes

Over time, like all systems, sewage systems and sanitary pipes also need to be replaced in homes. The wear and tear suffered by the sanitary pipes and sanitary pipe fitting can damage the sewage system in the long run and create plumbing problems for the household. Burst pipes and clogged drains can lead to costly repairs which is why it is better to carry out timely replacement of sanitary pipes and sanitary tube fittings. Here are some of the warning signs that indicate the need for replacing the sanitary pipes in your home:

 

1.Repeated sewage blockages, for instance every time you flush your toilet, are an indicator that the main sewage line is in need of new sanitary pipes. If you find that more than one drain in the house is constantly blocked, get a professional to investigate the main lines.

2.A faultless sewage system must be airtight and there will be no smell from the waste flowing out of the house. If there is a constant foul smell from the pipes in your house, it means that there is damage in the sewage pipes which is causing leaks and resulting in the foul odour.

3.If there is seepage and mold on the walls of your house in more than one patch, and it is spreading at an alarming pace, get a plumber to check the sanitary pipes. Damaged and cracked pipes lead to leaks and damage the walls, leading to mold.

4.The formation of small pools of septic waste in and around your house, especially near areas where the sanitary pipes are laid out, are an indication that the sewage pipes are cracked severely and need to be replaced.

5.Increase in pests and vermin in your home, such as cockroaches, rats and other small insects are also an indicator that there is a leak in the sanitary system somewhere in the house. The foul waste leaked by the pipes attracts insects and pests and if the damage is significant, they will also make their way into your home.

6.Another commonly ignored warning sign of a leak in the sewage lines is unexpected and sudden lushness in your vegetable garden or lawn. If your sewage line runs under your garden, sudden appearance of green patches could indicate damage in the line.
