The copper piping in your residential property is important for tranporting water and waste products to their proper locations. While the waste piping in newer properties is generally made of PVC, older properties will utilize older materials.
One material that can cause a variety of issues is galvanized piping. This type of piping is covered in zinc which gives it a silver color. For older properties, this zinc coating can begin to deteriorate and rust away, causing corrosion. This effect can result in yellow or rust-colored water, and with that comes some real health hazards. One hazard to be aware of is when piping cracks or breaks from oxidation, allowing bacteria to enter your home’s water supply and contaminate your drinking water. This often results in unexplained bacterial infections.
If you begin noticing a strange color in your water supply, it’s a good idea to contact a copper repipe specialist. The team at Bobby Blue Plumbing has been trading for 10 years, and has the skills to deliver complete water and waste pipe replacements in your home.
The professional customer service team at Bobby Blue Plumbing is available to help you with your residential plumbing services. You can contact us at (909-944-8999) and we’ll schedule a technician to come out to your home.

If you see any of these signs, a Bobby Blue Plumber can inspect your existing piping infrastructure and find the cause of the problem. These services technicians may be able to fix part of your piping system; however, it is sometimes recommended that you replace the whole system.
One inspection method that we commonly use is video camera inspection. This involves the use of a long stretch of fibre-optic cabling, which has a camera on the end to view the inside of your piping. This is non-invasive and allows for the effective discovery and remediation of piping damage. If our plumber determines that the existing infrastructure is too damaged to keep, they can also help to plan out a new pipeline, alongside sourcing top quality materials in order to ensure your infrastructure’s longevity for years to come.
