Atlanta Plumbing Experts, Plumb Xpress, Suggest What to Do When Faced with Brown Water

    NORCROSS, GA, May 21, 2013 /24-7PressRelease/ -- If you have noticed a brown tint to your water lately, it could be due to a few different reasons. The plumbing professionals at Plumb Xpress discuss what to do if you are faced with brown water.

Could Rust Be the Cause of Your Brown Water?
Many times, rust can be the cause of discolored water. If you live in an older home, you could have older plumbing that has begun to disintegrate due to age and everyday wear. Anytime the pressure in a pipe changes, rust can compromise the water. Examples of this include when the water is shut off to take care of a repair, or if you are away for an extended time and had the water shut off during your absence.

It's a good idea to have a professional plumber evaluate your pipes and find the source of the discoloration. Ignoring the problem could lead to a pipe bursting, resulting in more expensive repairs as well as possible damage to your home and furnishings.

Does Your Water Come From a Well?
Wells can produce water with a brown color if the iron content is high. Typically, high iron content will not harm you or your family but it can ruin clothes by staining them. It can also stain concrete driveways, the sides of your house and any other surface it comes in contact with.

The best course of action is to have your water tested and start using a filtration system to control the iron in the water. You can learn more about testing and filtration systems by talking with a professional plumber.

"A brown water problem can sometimes be an easy fix, while other times it can be more complicated," says Donnie Herrin, Owner of Plumb Xpress. "The easiest way to determine the extent of your problem is to call a plumber and let them take a look."
