Some Indications a Home May Need Repiping
Repiping is the procedure of replacing existing pipes in a building or home. Most structures built 25 or more years ago contained galvanized pipes, or zinc-coated iron pipes. When these pipes age the zinc lining erodes way, triggering the formation of rust. The pipes must be replaced as soon as this deterioration process begins. Do not wait until you start noticing leaks. Give us a call to set up an inspection. Seeing the signs of the possible need for repiping does not necessarily mean a Full House Repipe is the solution.Why is Repiping necessary?
Types of Plumbing Pipe Material
The biggest benefit of purchasing plastic pipes
is cost savings. Overall, PEX costs less to produce than copper and other metals. PEX pipes and tubing are also less expensive to transport because they weigh significantly less than metal pipes. Thus, the end price of installing PEX pipes and tubing is significantly less than installing copper.
Copper is the most popular choice for interior piping because it’s durable, lightweight and recyclable and it adds resale value to your home. It is also more popular because the public as not been educated to the benefits of PEX (Above). Although installing copper pipes is more expensive than installing plastic, the benefits will outweigh the costs in the end. Other benefits of copper repiping include better volume and water flow, clean and clear rust free water. Copper may also be the better choice if you live in an area where water freezes, as copper pipes expand to accommodate frozen water. Copper pipes are available in two basic types: rigid and flexible. Use flexible pipes when doing repairs because they can be run around obstacles without any connections or cuts.
