Signs Your Pipes May Be Corroding

Corroded pipes can really mess with your plumbing if you don’t catch the signs early. Here’s what to look for if you suspect your pipes might be corroding:

  • Rusty water: If your water looks brown or rust-coloured, it could mean your iron or steel pipes are rusting.
  • Low water pressure: Holes and restrictions caused by corrosion can drop your water pressure.
  • Staining: Keep an eye out for rust-coloured stains near your hot water system, copper pipes, or sinks, which might indicate underlying corrosion.
  • Noisy pipes: Vibrations and noises can occur as water flows through weakened spots in the pipes.
  • Burst pipe: Advanced corrosion can leave holes, making your pipes more likely to burst.
  • Smelly water: A metallic or sulphur smell in your water could be from corrosion.

Especially in older systems, checking for these signs is vital. If left alone, corrosion can get worse, mess up your drinking water, or lead to costly repairs from leaks and bursts. Catching it early means you can fix or replace pipes before things get severe. Reach out to us for a plumbing inspection if you suspect corrosion.

The Dangers of Corroded Pipes

Why You Should Fix Them

Corroded pipes pose severe risks in Melbourne homes if not appropriately addressed. Over time, corrosion can build up and cause significant plumbing issues. It’s essential to understand why corroded pipes need to be fixed:

  • Burst Pipes - As corrosion eats away at piping, it weakens the material. This makes burst pipes far more likely, damaging property and being very expensive to repair.
  • Water Contamination—Rust and other debris dislodged by corroding steel or copper pipes may contaminate drinking water, which poses health risks, such as increased lead levels.
  • Restricted Water Flow—Corrosion creates blockages that reduce water pressure and flow. This makes showering and appliances like dishwashers less effective.
  • Further Plumbing Issues—If left unchecked, corrosion may spread and accelerate, potentially corroding pipes in other areas of the home and leading to additional repairs.
  • Mould Growth - Leaks from burst or corroded pipes provide ideal conditions for mould to flourish, endangering indoor air quality.

We Can Help

Speak With Melbourne’s Local Plumbing Experts Today!

When our plumbers arrive, they’ll look for any problematic parts that need replacing. They’ll also perform chemical flushing to clear rust and build-up.

After examining your pipes, if replacements are necessary, they’ll let you know and arrange new ones.

If a small fix is required, we’ll conduct a CCTV inspection to pinpoint the trouble spot. Our experts will then repair and deburr the pipes to prevent future erosion.

If rust is an issue, our plumber may suggest swapping to longer-lasting plastic or aluminium pipes. Installing a water treatment system could also be wise if water quality causes plumbing issues.

High acidity or minerals might lead to corrosion, making water treatment essential.

So, don’t wait—reach out to us today! We’re the drainage experts in Melbourne, ready for all your plumbing needs.
