How Long Do Pipes Last?

Did you know that most pipes have a lifespan of 40 years or more, depending on the material? Some piping material is no longer used, as more durable products have replaced it to meet water pressure and safety demands.

The average lifespan of common piping materials includes the following:

• CPVC usually has a shelf life between 50 and 75 years in optimal conditions and with regular upkeep. Still, after about 15 years, some homeowners may notice issues and find cracks.
• Copper pipes can operate for up to 50 years because they aren’t prone to leaks, and the fittings are extremely secure when installed properly.
• Galvanized iron is found in many homes built before 1960 as an alternative to lead piping. It usually has a lifespan between 50 and 65 years. This means your piping is likely overdue for replacement.
• Galvanized steel was also a safer option for lead piping that lasted around 40 to 50 years. Still, galvanized steel pipes are no longer installed in homes because corrosion and rust over time can result in contaminated water that can cause significant health issues.
• Brass is what modern-day piping looks like. Newer homes are retrofitted with brass piping because it’s corrosion-resistant and operates for up to 40 years without issues.

If you’re unsure about the piping material you currently have or need product recommendations for repiping services in Minneapolis, Benjamin Franklin Plumbing® of Greater Minneapolis is here to support you with information and guidance.

3 Signs You May Have Pipe Damage

Pipe damage can come in many different forms, creating insufficient plumbing that can put your health at risk. Still, before there’s a severe issue, your pipes will provide indicators so that a professional can handle minor problems before they become larger.

Common signs that your pipes may need to be replaced include:

1. Low Water Pressure – Mineral deposits build up frequently in metal pipe material resulting in blocked passageways that significantly affect water pressure.
2. Water Leaks – When plumbing begins aging, weak points in the material can cause leaks that become more frequent. Often, resulting in mold or water damage.
3. Discolored Water – Rust or corrosion can develop inside your pipes, producing rust-colored or brown water that is dangerous to ingest. The rust can travel through the pipes into the faucets and other fixtures.

The Benefits of Fixing or Replacing Your Pipes

Just because your plumbing is out of sight doesn’t mean it should be out of mind. No one wants to deal with unclean water because pipes operate past their prime. When you trust our dedicated Minneapolis plumbers to repair damage or replace pipes, you gain the following.

Cleaner Water

Everyone needs clean water to survive. After all, water is used for almost everything, from showering to cooking. When you have pipe issues, it can seriously impede clean water and put your loved ones at risk of serious health problems.

Better Tasting Food

One of the first ingredients in most food is water. Can you imagine if the water had rust or debris in it? It would significantly affect the taste. Efficient plumbing and updated pipes can help enhance the taste of your food overall and improve skin, hair, and nails.
