Many Montgomery County homes built 40-60 years ago have plumbing systems on the brink of failure. We’re seeing increasing cases of catastrophic pipe breaks, water contamination, and costly emergency repairs. If your home contains lead, galvanized steel, or polybutylene pipes, you’re at particular risk. Don’t wait for discolored water, decreased pressure, or ceiling stains to appear. Proactive replacement with modern materials like PEX or copper costs significantly less than emergency repairs plus water damage restoration. Local plumbing contractors, Montgomery County Department of Environmental Protection, homeowners insurance companies, water utility providers, home inspectors, property management companies, real estate agents, homebuilders, plumbing supply retailers, and the Montgomery County Housing Authority all recommend addressing these issues before emergency situations arise.
