When a pipe leaks or the toilet overflows again, it can be hard to decide to repair or again or throw out the old and get it new. These 5 questions and 10 simple solutions to pipe problems can help you navigate the messy situations of plumbing and get your house back in order.
When deciding to repair or replace, consider:
1. Is the cost of repair greater than the cost of replacement? If so, you’ll get more bang for your buck if you go ahead and replace now.

4. Could you save money by replacing and making your house more energy efficient? Not only could you solve your current problem, but you might save money on utilities while you’re at it!
5. Is your plumbing causing any safety or health hazards? When it comes to health, it’s best not to mess around.
