Common Problems that Lead to Pipe Repair

There are a few different factors that can commonly lead to the need for pipe repair. Here are just a few of them:

Rust: Once the most common problem to afflict pipes, rust is now becoming more and more rare. This is because the only pipes that are vulnerable to oxidation are iron. Iron pipes were largely replaced with copper pipes around 60 years ago precisely because of this problem. Still, some older homes still have iron pipes and are, therefore, susceptible to rust. A common sign of rust in your pipes is red or brown discoloration in your water. If you see discolored water coming out of your tap, call a plumber to perform a pipe repair in your Santa Fe or northern New Mexico home.
Pitted Corrosion: Just because copper pipes are more or less immune to oxidation doesn’t mean they don’t have problems. Pitted corrosion is a type of corrosion that eats at the pipe from the outside inward, creating small holes called “pinhole leaks.” Pinhole leaks are so small that they don’t really have any warning signs to announce their presence. This means that the first sign most homeowners have of a pinhole leak is when they notice the water damage that’s already been done. The best way to stop pinhole leaks is by having your plumbing regularly inspected.
Limescale: Limescale is caused by hard water, which is water that has a higher-than-normal mineral content. This water leaves mineral deposits in the pipes it flows through. Over the course of years, these deposits build up into limescale, which restricts the flow of water through the pipes. If caught early enough, the lime scale can be cleared out of the pipe to restore it to full function. If not, however, the entire pipe will likely have to be replaced.

Pipe Repairs Begin With an Inspection

An inspection serves as the diagnostic foundation upon which the entire repair process hinges. It involves a comprehensive evaluation of the pipes’ condition, identifying leaks, corrosion, blockages, and structural weaknesses. We use advanced tools and techniques to ensure a thorough assessment, pinpointing existing issues but also preventing potential future problems. The findings guide our technicians in determining the most suitable repair methods and materials. Whether it’s a minor patch-up or a complete pipe replacement, the inspection’s insights are invaluable for a successful repair. Once the inspection is complete, the pipe repairs can be executed with precision and accuracy.

Signs Your Water & Sewer Lines Need Pipe Repairs

Recognizing when your Santa Fe plumbing system requires pipe repair services is crucial to maintaining a functional and efficient system. If wear and tear on old pipes goes unaddressed, it can lead to various issues with your water and sewer lines. Make sure you keep an eye out for the following problems that indicate it’s past time for a plumbing pipe repair:

Water Leaks: If you notice unexplained increases in your water bill or damp spots on walls or ceilings, it may indicate a hidden leak in your water lines. Prompt pipe repairs can prevent further damage.
Slow Drains: Slow-draining sinks, showers, or toilets are often indicative of clogged or damaged sewer lines. Professional drain repair is essential to avoid sewage backups.
Foul Odors: Unpleasant odors coming from your drains or yard can be a sign of sewer line issues. Pipe inspection can pinpoint the source of the problem.
Low Water Pressure: Reduced water pressure can result from various factors, including pipe corrosion or mineral buildup. Pipe replacement or repair may be necessary to restore proper water flow.
Discolored Water: Rusty or discolored water indicates corrosion within your pipes. Pipe repairs can address this issue and improve water quality.
Loud Noises: Strange noises, such as banging or clanking, when using water fixtures can signal loose or damaged fittings. Timely plumbing pipe repair can prevent further damage.
Aging Pipes: If your property has old pipes, it’s wise to schedule regular inspections. Aging pipes are more prone to leaks and other issues that require plumbing services.

Here’s What Our Customers Are Saying

Elizabeth Romero ★★★★★ a day ago
I'm a repeat Roadrunner customer because of how reliable they are. The installers are always super professional. Last week Harrison and Albert installed a new minisplit system in my living room. I was much smaller than my old system … More and they repaired the wall beautifully. They also showed me photographs of how they sealed all the connections on the roof.
Carl Marsak ★★★★★ 3 months ago
We loved working with them. They installed 3 mini-splits for us a few weeks ago, and all of them were really professional, starting from the top down with Terrence. The main contractors were Julian and Mauri, and we trusted them with our … More house and the project totally. They were respectful to us (we are in our 60s) as well. Joel and Matthew were great too. We were told they weren't the cheapest in the area, but you get what you pay for, their warranties are fab, and we were advised very well by Terrence re what to buy and where to install the units. Overall a great experience!
Shelly Brock ★★★★★ 4 months ago
Starting with getting an appointment, Matthew was most helpful! Then when Gus and Horacio came to service our AC they were extremely polite and professional. All the options were offered and they make sure I understood the service needed. … More Excellent and I highly recommend them.
Robert Cort ★★★★★ 4 months ago
Gus from Roadrunner AC came and serviced our mini-split, he quickly diagnosed the issue, and even though it took him a while to fix it, when he left, it was working perfectly. Gus was friendly and helpful in explaining what he was doing … More and why. Super happy with their prompt service.
Rick Svatek ★★★★★ 6 months ago
I had a garage/studio built last year that is very well insulated. It gets too cold in winter and too hot in summer to be comfortable.
Friends of ours had Mitsubishi mini-splits installed by Roadrunner air conditioning and heating last … More year. Our friends were extremely complimentary of their Roadrunner experience, so I decided to call Roadrunner for an estimate in early May for a quote. I definitely wanted to beat the hot season rush on air conditioning.
I requested a quote for the studio/garage and thought I might as well get a quote for the house. Every room was measured to know the cubic feet that needed to be cooled/heated to engineer the most effective and efficient system. The price seemed fair. Terrence, the CEO of Roadrunner did the engineering and estimating. We liked what Terrence had to say about Roadrunner personnel and the fact that our friends had an excellent experience we decided to go with Roadrunner.
Two weeks later on our scheduled installation date, Terrence came with the installation crew to introduce the three young men that would be installing the system. After discussing the installation and location of all units Terrence left and the crew got to work.
The installation crew were three friendly and respectful young men. It was obvious that they were well trained technically and in customer service skills. Every day started with setting the expectations of where they were going to work and what they expected to accomplish. At the end of each day the crew cleaned up and briefed us about what was accomplished and when to expect them the following day. It can be uncomfortable to have people working in your home but not with this Roadrunner crew.
Installation ran the course of four days for the house and the studio combined. We really enjoyed having these three men work in our home. They were kind and friendly to us and our dogs. After the installation was complete, they trained us on the new system, cleaned up the work areas, and left us with expertly installed mini-split system in the house and studio.
We are completely impressed with Roadrunner air conditioning and heating. The staff was awesome to work with. We enjoyed all of the people we encountered. It’s really nice to work with a company that is so customer and employee focused.
This may sound crazy but we do miss the three young men who were here working in our home for four days.
