Why You Can’t Ignore the Signs of Failing Pipes
Ignoring the warning signs of failing pipes can lead to costly repairs, property damage, and even health hazards. It’s crucial to be proactive and address any potential issues before they escalate. Here’s why you can’t afford to ignore the signs of a failing plumbing system:
The Risk of Catastrophic Failure
Failing pipes, especially those made from materials like polybutylene, are prone to sudden and catastrophic failure. A burst pipe can release hundreds of gallons of water into your home in a matter of minutes, causing extensive damage to your floors, walls, furniture, and personal belongings. The cost of repairing this damage can be astronomical, far exceeding the cost of a proactive repipe.
The Threat of Hidden Leaks and Mold
Slow, hidden leaks are another common problem with failing pipes. These leaks can go undetected for months, creating a damp environment that is ideal for mold growth. Mold can not only damage the structural integrity of your home but also pose a serious health risk to you and your family. A complete repipe can eliminate these hidden leaks and protect your home from the dangers of mold.
The Impact on Your Property Value
A home with a failing plumbing system is a major red flag for potential buyers. It can significantly decrease your property value and make it difficult to sell your home. A new, modern plumbing system, on the other hand, is a major selling point that can increase your property value and give you a competitive edge in the real estate market.
The Issue of Insurance Coverage
Many insurance companies are aware of the risks associated with certain types of failing pipes, such as polybutylene. They may refuse to insure a home with these pipes or charge exorbitant premiums. A complete repipe can help you secure affordable insurance coverage and protect your investment.
Common Types of Failing Pipes in Metro Atlanta
Our team of experts has extensive experience in dealing with all types of failing pipe systems. We can accurately diagnose the condition of your pipes and recommend the best course of action. Here are some of the most common types of failing pipes we encounter in the Metro Atlanta area:
Polybutylene Pipes (1978-1995)
If your home was built between 1978 and 1995, it may have polybutylene pipes. These gray plastic pipes are notorious for their high failure rate. They are susceptible to degradation from chlorine and other chemicals in the water supply, which can cause them to become brittle and crack over time. A complete repipe is the only permanent solution for homes with polybutylene pipes.
Aging Copper Pipes
While copper has long been considered a durable material for plumbing, it is not immune to failure. Over time, copper pipes can corrode and develop pinhole leaks, especially in areas with aggressive water chemistry. Signs of failing copper pipes include reduced water pressure, discolored water, and visible corrosion on the pipes.
Defective PEX Pipes
Early generations of PEX (cross-linked polyethylene) pipes have been known to have manufacturing defects and fitting failures. These issues can lead to leaks, water damage, and other problems. If you have an older PEX system and are experiencing issues, it’s important to have it inspected by a professional.

Daniel was amazing! He represented the company to the very best standards! I will dwfinitely use him again! Very Professional! Courtesy! A very positive experience! Will use in the future! Absolutely
This was my second time using Plumbing Express. Once again, I had an excellent experience with Dylan
Anthony came to my house for an ongoing problem of extremely high water bills. He quickly diagnosed and fixed the issue. Anthony has a pleasant attitude and provided great service with professionalism and care for my home and property.
Everything about my experience was A++ service. From the friendly receptionist who took our call and let us know available times to Dylan who was friendly, knowledgeable and extremely professional. He helped fix everything and left it better than ever. Great Atlanta plumber team. You will not be disappointed!
My issue was a water heater being a great distance from my kitchen sink causing water waste as I waited for hot water to reach the kitchen. Daniel was very familiar with the issue. In a very brief time, he installed a recirculating pump on my water heater and a sensor valve at my sink. I now have instant hot water where I need it. Express plumbing was very responsive to my call, arrived promptly, and Daniel did an exceptional installation job. Express Plumbing can be proud to have an employee like Daniel representing them.
Very nice experience working with Plumbing Express, particularly with Tim Robinson who complete the job as expected. He listened and understood my concerns and try to address them as close as possible. Very nice work. Thanks guys.
Rod was courteous and focused. He had the situation sized up and solved by the time I got out to the meter-box to greet him. I was impressed with his talent for deduction and followed his train of thought in trouble shooting the problem. There was no leak after the watermeter and the watermeter worked fine. The evidence was subtle but it was there. Water wasn't leaking out of the box it was leaking in by the direction of the mud residue build-up. Thanks again Rod!
We had water pressure and water temperature issues, which turned out to be caused by a failing pressure regulator valve and a failed valve in a crossover recirculator. Anthony diagnosed and replaced both, repaired a pinhole leak in a copper pipe near the PRV, and did the annual service on our tankless heater, all in less than 3 1/2 hours including a 45 minute trip to pick up the correct PRV for our system. He is always fast, efficient and knowledgeable, and willing to answer all our questions.
Daniel did a great job with the tankless installation, educating us on the new unit, and was very professional. Happy to have hot water once again. Thank you.
Rob came in and was friendly and completed the toilet repair quickly and professionally.
Fantastic, trustworthy and reliable Plumber. Highly recommend. Daniel was awesome. Hard to recommend any other plumbing business in Atlanta! These guys are honest and don’t nickel and dime you for everything.
We had a pool of water forming in our front yard, so we scheduled an appointment with Plumbing Express and they quickly sent Daniel to come diagnose the issue. When he arrived, he let me know what the potential issues were and gave me a very detailed breakdown of the costs and work involved, from best to worst case scenario. He was able to break things down in a way that I could easily understand, and I could tell that he was being honest with me which gave me the confidence to hire him to work on the issue. He quickly found the leak, showed me, and I immediately agreed to have him fix the pipe. Within an hour or so he had the leak fixed and filled the area he had to dig up, all while it was so cold it actually began to snow a little bit. I could not ask for better service and will happily go with Plumbing Express in the future for any plumbing needs.
Rod was very professional, courteous, and quick. I've also used Plumbing Express in the past and was happy with the service.
Tim was great. Took the time to explain what he was doing and break down everything that needed to be done.
I requested Dylan because he had previously came to our house to diagnose what was wrong with our Renni tankless water heater. He always explains what is wrong and what needs to be done to fix what's wrong. Dylan this a highly talented plumber.
They say, “you won’t know what someone is made of until you see them navigate problems and mistakes.” The install team were incredibly professional and courteous. They did unfortunately have a couple of big missteps, but they and their boss Ty handled it the way great companies do. They listened apologetically and made it right!! Ty acted honorably to make things right and Lucio, Joe, Ben and Rad did a tremendous job replumbing the house in just one day to bypass the leak under the slab. Grateful for their hard work and will certainly recommend to my friends and family!
Daniel did a great job of telling me exactly what the issues were as well as the solutions. He finished the work in a timely fashion and was able to recommend another company for possible water damage.
Polite, customer friendly. Both were very nice. Work completed on time and did what they said. Thanks, Harry Fraley
Anthony hooked up a firepit to a new gas line. He did a good job and worked quickly. He was friendly and explained things well.
Service is prompt and expert. Highly recommend. Mr Robinson minimized any disruption possible from installation. His professionalism and attention to detail is outstanding.
Third time using them, very positive experience, friendly, efficient and do clean work. Will call them again.
Very calm, respectful, and explained things well to someone who doesn’t know much about plumbing.
Anthony was amazing to work with. Very knowledgeable, friendly, and very quick to respond to our situation! We would recommend him to anyone.
I am very pleased with their work. Were the most affordable and they a terrific job. I highly recommend it
Anthony was very competent, professional and friendly. He answered all my questions throughly. Highly recommend!
Thanks to Rod Anderson. I had a great experience with the Mr. Anderson who came to my home. He was very professional, respectful, and honest. You could tell he really knew his work and took the time to explain everything clearly. I truly appreciated his knowledge and transparency. I would highly recommend his services and will definitely call him again if I ever need plumbing help!
After suffering a second leak under our slab and getting quotes from various plumbers, we decided to have our house repiped through the attic. Ed came by from Plumbing Express and I was convinced that they were the right company. Not only was their bid competitive with the other plumbers, but they also provided better insulation for the pipes and turnkey drywall repair and paint. The plumbing crew were polite and professional and kept the work areas clean. They kept the damage and the dust down to a minimum which was a pleasant surprise. After they completed the job, Flaniel repaired and painted the walls like new with no signs of patching. He was super clean and even mopped the floors before he left. I also want to give a shout out to Ivan in the office who orchestrated everything. Finally, I can say without a doubt, that if you have plumbing issues, Plumbing Express is the one to call.
Anthony is very professional and polite. He installed plumbing during reno for the master bath, basement bath and new kitchenette. Highly recommend.
Rod did a great job.He was very professional and informative. Great customer service overall.
Very happy with the pipe replacement. The whole team was super professional, knowledgeable, efficient and communicative
Installed new water heaters and a whole home water filter system. Great communication. Did everything they said they would do in the timeframe stated. Left everything clean and answered all my questions.
I had an outstanding experience with Rod. He was professional, punctual, and extremely knowledgeable. He quickly diagnosed the problem, explained everything clearly, and completed the work efficiently. The quality of his work was excellent, and he left everything clean and neat when he finished.
Smooth process from receiving the initial estimate to completion of our complete home repiping.
Rod Anderson was my technician. He was courteous, prompt, and knowledgeable. He was able to fi n d the problem and recommended next steps. Thanks for your services.
Had a leaking pipe around the hot water heater and another one showing alot of corrosion from calcium buildup. I needed these pipes repaired before they become a bigger problem. I have used Plumbing Express in the past and had great results so I called them again and got great results from their service on repairing these pipes and quick and efficient service. Dylan was great and very efficient and knowledgeable about what repairs needed to be done. I will definitely use Plumbing Express and ask for Dylan when I have any plumbing problems in the future!
