Do I Need A Total Plumbing Repipe?

The age of your house will be a big factor in determining whether you need a total repipe. If you’ve lived there for more than ten years, there’s a chance that a repipe might be your best option, especially if you had an increased number of repairs in the past. Scheduling an annual checkup can help prevent problems that accelerate the aging of your pipes as well, which will delay the amount of time needed before you absolutely need a repipe. There are a few other signs to check for that will give you a good idea as well.
  • Signs of corrosion. If you start to see flaking, rust formation, discoloration, bumps, or any other form of corrosion, it might be time for a repipe. These are signs of very worn pipes that could burst or break at any time.
  • Frequent leaks. If you find that you’ve had to have several leaks repaired recently, look into a total plumbing repipe. This is a sign that your pipes are at the end of the road and the repairs will come more frequently if you continue just to have them patched up.
  • Random leaks. It’s normal to have the random leak from time to time. It’s unfortunate, but it happens. When they do happen, they are typically around the same spots. When you start to have leaks that seem completely random throughout your entire home, it’s time for new pipes.

What Type of Pipes Will You Install?

We use a variety of pipes that are best suited for your home. Our plumbing experts have extensive knowledge on all of them and which ones will work best for your home. Some of the pipes we use include:
  • PVC pipes. PVC, or PolyVinyl Chloride pipes, are the most commonly used pipes today. They are extremely durable and versatile. They can be used on everything from drains to vents and are easy to combine. This makes them the ideal pipe because they can be made to any size without much hassle.
  • Copper pipes. Copper pipes are primarily used for the main water line coming into your home. They are excellent for carrying hot and cold water and do not rust easily. The main drawback of copper pipes is their exposure to the elements. In times of extreme cold, they can burst if they are frozen leading to a plumbing emergency. Our 24/7 emergency services handle problems like this anytime of the day. Whenever it happens, we’ll be there.
  • PEX tubes. PEX tubes, or polyethylene, or quickly becoming an improvement to copper pipes. They work great for transporting both hot and cold water, but are also able to expand and contract with the weather without causing damage to the pipes. This greatly reduces the chance of a burst pipe when you least expect it.
  • Cast iron pipes. Cast iron pipes are typically found in community buildings and older homes. While not as efficient as some of the newer material, they can withstand corrosion and last a long time.
