If your home was built over 50 years ago, you probably have old pipes made from galvanized steel or other outdated materials. The average lifespan of most plumbing pipes ranges from 30-50 years, depending on several factors. If you’re getting discolored or rusty water from your faucets or you’ve noticed rust spots on exposed pipes, there’s a good chance your pipes are aging. It’s in your best interest to consider repiping your home if your pipes have seen better days. Old pipes are not just a hidden danger to your home; they can also lower the value of your property.
We had a main line drain clog under the house. Russell was our technician and approached the problem from outside the house, working retrograde from a trap in the front yard. I was skeptical but it worked when my efforts with a cable inside the house had failed. He was very professional and pleasant to deal with. We asked him to install a cleanout closer to the house for future use and we were very satisfied with the work.
Tyler is the best! He came to our parent's house, knew exactly what the problem was, and explained it to us without the typical guesswork. I'd recommend him any time you need a good plumber.
Overall, It was a very good experience with the Service Hero team. I was able to schedule an appointment late in the night. They are truly 24x7. The help desk team was very professional, courteous, and friendly. All responses were timely. The field technician showed up on time and diagnosed the issue accurately. Kudos to the Service Hero team!

If you’ve noticed signs of pipe damage in your home, do not hesitate to contact us for fast and reliable repairs or replacements. In this blog post, our plumbers explain why old pipes can be a hidden danger in your home. From causing water contamination to exposing your home to water damage, failing pipes are a real danger to both residential and commercial properties.
Aging pipes often develop small cracks or pinhole leaks. These leaks may not be obvious at first. Water can drip silently behind walls, under floors, or in crawl spaces for months before you realize there’s a problem. Over time, this continuous moisture weakens building materials like drywall, wood framing, and subfloors. The structural damage can be extensive and costly to repair. By the time stains appear on your walls or ceilings, the damage is already done. It’s advisable to call a local plumber in San Diego, CA to replace old pipes early in order to avoid hidden water damage that compromises the stability of your home.
Tailored services to meet your specific needs and budget, ensuring optimal performance and comfort.
Where there’s moisture, mold is never far behind. Even a small leak inside the walls can create a damp environment that allows mold and mildew to thrive. Mold growth isn’t just unpleasant; it can pose serious health risks. Musty odors, allergy flare-ups, and unexplained respiratory symptoms are linked to plumbing leaks from old pipes. Our plumbers recommend you replace old, failing pipes to eliminate the source of moisture and maintain a safe, healthy living environment.
Older pipes are more likely to corrode, allowing rust, sediment, and mineral deposits to build up inside the pipes. Worse yet, some outdated pipe materials pose direct health risks. Lead pipes can leach toxic metals into your drinking water, while degraded polybutylene pipes can become brittle and fail without warning.
As pipes age, they become more vulnerable to extreme temperature changes and water pressure fluctuations. Corroded or weakened pipes are far more likely to burst without any warning. A burst pipe can flood your home in minutes, destroy flooring and furniture, and require expensive emergency restoration. Many bursts occur in the winter, but older pipes can fail at any time. If your home is more than 40–50 years old and the plumbing has never been updated, the risk is especially high. Contact a local commercial plumbing service to inspect the pipes in your commercial establishment and offer recommendations.
