Problems Caused By Galvanized Steel Pipes In San Antonio

Galvanized steel pipes are extremely common in San Antonio, particularly in the Selma, Schertz, Universal City and Cibolo areas. These pipes, once a popular choice for plumbing systems, can lead to a range of issues as they age and corrode.

These pipes are rarely used in modern day plumbing construction. However, homes built up until the 1990s may still use piping made from this material. Homeowners in these regions often face several problems with their galvanized steel plumbing, including:

• Reduced water pressure due to internal rust buildup
• Discolored water caused by rust and corrosion particles
• Frequent leaks and pipe bursts from weakened pipe walls
• Potential lead contamination as the pipes degrade
• Increased risk of clogs and blockages from accumulated debris

These problems can affect the quality of your water and lead to costly repairs. Replacing galvanized steel pipes with modern materials like copper or PEX can significantly improve your home’s plumbing reliability. For professional assessment and repiping, trust the DrainWorks team for dependable service in San Antonio and surrounding communities.

Frequent Leaks

With any plumbing system, leaks are bound to happen. However, with a quality system, they should be fairly rare. If you catch yourself finding a new puddle every week, then it might be time to consider having all of your pipes replaced.

Discolored Water

Over time, the interior of water pipes can start to degrade. This, combined with the natural accumulation of dirt and debris inside of your pipes, can end up contaminating your water and causing discoloration.

Low Water Pressure

With aging or poorly designed pipes, enough small faults, micro leaks or the accumulation of debris along the interior of your pipes can lead to a reduction in water pressure.

Outdated Plumbing Materials

The plumbing industry has evolved over the decades and the materials used in plumbing components have evolved with it. Materials such as galvanized steel and polybutylene have become associated with various issues — it might make sense to replace them with safer, more effective materials.

Unpleasant Odors

Most of the time, a quality cleaning like the one provided by our hydrojetting service is more than adequate to remove any debris that could be causing unpleasant odors from your pipes.

However, some types of mold and bacteria can survive even the most comprehensive cleaning procedures. When you’re dealing with a stench that refuses to go away, a new set of pipes might be just the thing you need.

Visible Pipe Corrosion

Most pipes exist underneath our feet where they are impossible to see. However, if you notice corrosion on a small amount of your visible plumbing, schedule an inspection by a qualified professional.

Reduced Water Quality

The water in your home should be consistent and predictable. If you notice a reduction in your home’s water quality, such as discoloration or a subtle change in taste, it could be a sign of interior corrosion happening in your pipes — which can lead to contamination of your water.
