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:
-
Low Water Pressure – Mineral deposits build up frequently in metal pipe material resulting
in blocked passageways that significantly affect water pressure.
-
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.
-
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.
Durable Pipes
Longevity is extremely important when it comes to pipes. No one wants to
deal with plumbing that lasts only a decade or fewer. Repairing pipe damage
or replacing pipes can improve plumbing performance and keep your plumbing
operational for several decades.
