If you’re dealing with frequent plumbing problems in your commercial property, the issue may run deeper than just a leak or clog. Many older buildings in Arlington still operate on outdated piping materials—and over time, those systems can fail.
Here are the key signs that it might be time for a full plumbing repipe—and how Finish Line MEP can help.
1. Frequent Leaks and Repairs
Constant calls to fix leaks in walls, ceilings, or restrooms are a red flag. Small patch jobs add up quickly and are often just temporary fixes. If you’re scheduling plumbing visits every few months, repiping is likely more cost-effective.2. Rusty or Discolored Water
Brown, orange, or metallic-smelling water typically indicates corrosion in your pipes—especially if your building uses galvanized steel or aging copper lines. This can pose health risks and damage equipment.3. Low or Fluctuating Water Pressure
Uneven pressure in sinks, restrooms, or irrigation systems can signal internal buildup or partial collapses inside the pipes. A repipe restores consistent flow across your property.4. Water Damage in Ceilings or Walls
Hidden leaks often show up as stains, peeling paint, or soft drywall. If you’re constantly tracking down the source, it’s time to assess the entire system—not just the visible leak.5. Outdated Piping Materials
If your Arlington property was built before the 1980s, there’s a chance it still uses cast iron, galvanized, or polybutylene piping—all of which are now considered unreliable for long-term use.We Make Repipes Simple
