Signs Your Pipes May Be Corroding

Corroded pipes can lead to significant plumbing issues if not addressed early. It’s essential to watch out for these signs that could indicate your water pipes are corroding:

  • Rusty water: If your water appears brown or rust-coloured, it’s a sign that iron or steel pipes in your plumbing system may be rusting.
  • Low water pressure: Corrosion can cause holes and pipe restrictions, reducing water pressure.
  • Staining: Look for rust-coloured stains around your hot water system, copper pipes, or fixtures like sinks that could point to corroding underneath.
  • Noisy pipes: Corrosion can cause vibrations and noises as water passes through weak points in pipes.
  • Burst pipe: Advanced corrosion can lead to holes and increase the risk of pipes bursting.
  • Smelly water: Corrosion may cause your drinking water to have a metallic odour or sulphur smell.

It’s essential to check for these signs, especially in aging plumbing systems. Left untreated, corrosion can worsen over time, contaminate your drinking water or cause expensive damage from leaks and bursts. Detecting corrosion early allows repairing or replacing pipes before issues worsen. Contact us for help inspecting your plumbing for 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.

How Can We Help
We Can Help

Speak With Melbourne’s Local Plumbing Experts Today!

When they reach your house, our plumbers will first look for parts that may have been corrupted or need replacement. They will also try chemical flushing the entire pipeline to remove rust and obstacles. Then, the pipes will be checked, and if replacement is needed, our plumbers will inform you and buy new pipes.

If a spot repair is needed, we will do a CCTV inspection to find the problem area. Then, our experts will remove the required pipelines for repair. The tube will be deburred before being returned to avoid eroding further.

Also, if the pipes have caught rust, our local plumber might suggest replacing them with plastic or aluminium tubing that lasts longer and provides better protection. Additionally, they might advise putting up a water treatment system if the water quality is causing problems with the plumbing system. High levels of acid or other minerals may be a reason behind corroded pipes; hence, the water would need to be treated.

So, don’t hesitate to contact us today! We are drainage experts in Melbourne, specialising in corroded water pipes and all your plumbing needs.
