Two pipe materials appear most often in older Stamford homes, and both pose a real long-term risk. Galvanized steel was standard for home supply lines built before the 1960s. Many homes built in the early 1970s still have galvanized or lead pipes, and decades of water exposure cause extensive rust and corrosion inside the pipe walls. The most visible signs are low water pressure at upper-floor fixtures, rust-colored water from the hot tap, and staining on porcelain. Polybutylene piping came later, installed throughout the 1980s into the mid-1990s, and it's gray, flexible plastic. Polybutylene pipes react poorly to oxidants in water and flake away from the inside out, so a poly pipe may appear to be in good shape during a visual inspection. Because Aquarion Water uses chlorination in Stamford's municipal supply, poly-B homes in neighborhoods like Glenbrook, Springdale, and Newfield are particularly exposed.

Pre-1950 homes in established areas like Shippan and parts of North Stamford often feature original galvanized steel pipes, while homes from the 1950s through the 1970s commonly have cast iron drain lines that can be an issue as they age. If your home falls in either build window, a camera inspection and supply line assessment will tell you what you're actually dealing with before something fails.

A running toilet is rarely an emergency, but waiting is expensive. The EPA estimates that a leaking toilet can waste up to 200 gallons of water every day. Over a month, that's 6,000 gallons silently added to your Aquarion Water bill without you getting any use from it. Denver Water

Most running toilets trace back to a worn flapper, the rubber seal at the bottom of the tank. When the flapper fails, water continuously seeps from the tank into the bowl. You'll often hear a faint hissing or trickling sound between flushes. Drop a few drops of food coloring into the tank and wait 10 minutes without flushing. If color shows up in the bowl, the flapper is leaking. A failed fill valve or a float set too high can also cause a running toilet, and those take about the same amount of time to diagnose. Household leaks can waste 180 gallons per week, and toilets are often the culprit. Your plumber can replace a flapper or fill valve in a single visit and confirm there's nothing else going on with the flush mechanism.

Fairfield County winters can drop well below freezing, and frozen pipes are a common winter issue for homeowners in Greenwich, Stamford, Darien, Westport, and Norwalk, especially in older homes or those with exposed pipes in attics, crawl spaces, and exterior walls.

If you turn on a faucet and nothing comes out during a cold snap, shut off the main water supply valve first. Then open a faucet on the affected line to relieve pressure as the ice thaws. Apply gentle heat with a hair dryer, aiming it at the frozen section, starting at the faucet end and working back. Never use an open flame. Sustained temperatures under 20 degrees are a common cause of frozen and burst pipes. Keep towels nearby as the pipe thaws. A pipe that has already cracked may hold while frozen, but will leak quickly once the ice melts. If the line is hidden inside a wall or under a floor, call us rather than guessing.

To prevent freezes before they start: insulate exposed pipes in your garage and crawl space, keep your thermostat no lower than 55°F when away from home, and open cabinet doors under sinks on exterior walls during cold snaps.
