How To Know You Need Plumbing Replacement
Whether because of natural aging or sudden damage, plumbing systems eventually need to be replaced. It may not be clear to you, as a homeowner, when the time comes to invest in new plumbing installation in Louisville, KY, so we’ve detailed some examples of symptoms you may experience when it’s time for replacement services.
Pipes Over 50 Years Old
There are a few reasons to repipe your home if your pipes are over 50 years old. Pipes of that age are more likely to corrode and break, causing leaks and costly water damage. Additionally, if your pipes are over 50 years old it’s much more likely the material is no longer recommended (including lead and galvanized steel that can function poorly or even cause you harm).
Constant Repairs Needed
Requiring frequent plumbing repairs can mean your plumbing system is losing its efficiency. You should consider the cost of the repairs and how they add up compared to the cost of plumbing replacement. You may save money in the long run by investing in plumbing installation services instead of repair.
Strange Plumbing Noises
Pay attention to any bizarre sounds including rattling, knocking, or banging. You may be experiencing a water hammer—a sudden surge of pressure in your pipes. Your water pressure may also be higher than it should be or air may be trapped within your pipes. In order to get to the bottom of this symptom, you should contact a reputable plumber like those at Absolute Services for a full investigation.
Puddles or Water Stains
The appearance of wet spots on your ceiling, walls, or floors can indicate a leak. If you’re dealing with frequent leaks, it may be best for you to have your plumbing system replaced, entirely.
Frequently Asked Questions About Plumbing Installation
Here are some answers to common questions we receive about plumbing installation in Louisville, KY.
What are some examples of plumbing installation services?
Plumbing installation can include installing or replacing any of the following components of the plumbing system:
- Pipes
- Toilets
- Faucets
- Water Lines
- Water Heaters
- Garbage Disposals
- Water Filtration Systems
- Water Softeners
- Sump Pumps

It also includes designing and installing the plumbing system from scratch in new builds.
Do I need a permit to install new plumbing?
Many, but not all, plumbing installation services require permits from your local municipality. You’ll likely need a permit for any water heater installation, repiping, or sewer line replacement. Our team of plumbers can walk you through the permitting process to make it as quick and painless as possible while adhering to the necessary local codes.
How do I know if I need plumbing replacement instead of repair?
Signs you’re going to need plumbing replacement is if you’re dealing with leaks on a regular basis, if your pipes have become rusty or corroded, if your water is discolored, or if your fixtures are failing. In those instances, it’s difficult to adequately repair the issue in a lasting, sustainable way.
Can I perform plumbing installation myself?
We don’t recommend you perform most plumbing installation work on your own. That’s because hiring a licensed plumber makes sure all your plumbing components are the right size for your household, the correct materials are used, and all codes are followed. If you choose to install your own plumbing system without the recommended training and certification, you may end up with avoidable leaks that lead to water damage and mold growth. In the end, you can end up paying even more to repair poor plumbing installation than you would pay to hire a professional to perform the installation in the first place.
What should I do to prepare for an installation appointment?
We recommend you ensure the work area is clear of any items or obstructions, including clearing the area under relevant sinks or appliances. It’s helpful to also make it as easy as possible for the plumber to access the shut-off valves. In some circumstances, turning off water to your home is also necessary.
