Expert Re-Piping Services & Plumbing Corrosion Solutions
Plumbing corrosion is one of the most common yet overlooked causes of pipe leaks, water discoloration, and costly plumbing repairs. Over time, water chemistry, temperature changes, and pipe material quality can lead to serious damage inside your plumbing system. If you notice rust-colored water, reduced water pressure, or recurring leaks, corrosion may already be affecting your pipes.
Our professional re-piping services are designed to eliminate damaged piping and provide long-term protection against future corrosion. Understanding the causes of pipe corrosion is the first step toward preventing expensive structural and water damage.
What Causes Plumbing Corrosion?
Corrosion in domestic water supply systems occurs due to complex chemical and physical reactions. The most common contributing factors include:
• Imbalanced pH levels in water • High chloride, sulphate, or nitrate content • Dissolved oxygen and carbon dioxide • Temperature fluctuations above 60°C • Low water flow or stagnant water • Poor pipe material quality • Contact between dissimilar metals
These conditions weaken copper, galvanized, and iron pipes over time, leading to material deterioration.
Types of Pipe Corrosion
1. General Surface Corrosion
This type of corrosion causes uniform material wear across the pipe surface. It often results in rust deposits and water discoloration but may not immediately cause leaks.
2. Pitting Corrosion
Pitting corrosion creates small holes in metal pipes. It is highly dangerous because it can rupture pipes suddenly. It is often caused by: • Deposits forming aeration cells • Gas bubbles in heated water systems • Copper ion reactions on zinc or iron • Electrical contact between dissimilar metals
Pitting corrosion is one of the leading reasons for unexpected plumbing pipe replacement.
Signs You May Need Re-Piping Services
• Frequent pipe leaks • Rusty or brown water • Metallic taste in drinking water • Low or inconsistent water pressure • Visible corrosion on exposed pipes • Aging galvanized or copper piping
If these issues are present, a full or partial plumbing pipe replacement may be necessary to prevent major damage.
Corrosion Protection & Prevention Solutions
Preventing corrosion requires a combination of proper materials and water treatment strategies:
• Installation of backwash protective filters • Water softening systems for hard water • Orthophosphate and polyphosphate dosing • pH level correction treatments • Proper pipe insulation • High-quality, standards-compliant piping materials
These solutions help create a protective barrier between water and metal surfaces, reducing long-term corrosion risks.
Why Professional Re-Piping Is the Best Long-Term Investment
Replacing outdated or corroded pipes improves:
• Water quality • System efficiency • Home value • Plumbing lifespan • Overall safety
Professional re-piping services ensure your domestic water supply system remains durable, efficient, and corrosion-resistant for years.
