Here at Newline Building Products, we have been providing high-quality building supplies from the North East of Scotland for over a decade. We are an independent builder’s merchants, and our extensive range of building products offers everything for trade clients and the public.
We have a vast range of plumbing products and supplies, from radiators to guttering and pipes for every DIY project to professional trade work. Today, we are going to discuss how we can help with discoloured water from taps and the probable reasons behind it.
Corrosion and Contamination
There are many reasons you may experience discoloured water from a tap. Usually, it is a sign that a replacement is required. When you see brown water coming from a tap or your tap water smells, the next step is to check with your local provider. If that checks out and is fine, it is likely that you may have rust that is contaminating your supply and turning it a brownish colour.
One of the main reasons besides disturbance in minerals or sediment from pipes is issues with corrosion. This could be rust or in much older properties, they could be made from lead. Pipes can last a long time and usually with good maintenance do not develop any form of corrosion. If you suspect that you have corrosion in any part of your plumbing, or even a rusty water heater, we can supply replacements. In much older properties that still have lead piping, with age they can crack and crumble, resulting in contamination and posing health risks if consumed. In both circumstances, you will need high-quality replacements. Left alone, over time, it will only worsen.
New Line Building Products provide everything you need for lead pipes replacement and to replace rusted parts. We supply everything for trade and retail clients, and if you choose to work on your plumbing yourself, we can provide the supplies to complete the work to a professional standard. Our range includes high-quality cooper, waste, barrier, underground pipes, and fittings, as well as sewer and land drain and mains. So, you are bound to find exactly what you need. Our team are also highly knowledgeable and can recommend the correct supplies to get the job done.
