When to Repipe Your House
Plumbing problems happen to everyone at some point in time. Whether you live in a single family home, apartment, or have plumbing problems in your office, getting these issues resolved as soon as possible is a time sensitive matter. From time to time, leaky pipes become severe enough that a repipe is required to restore smoothly and safely functioning drains.
When to Repipe? Look for These Warning Signs
If you are dealing with any of the following problems, it may be time to consider a repiping job:
- Leaky pipes
- Wet Foundation
- Pipe corrosion
- Low or dramatic drop in water pressure
- Bad water odor or taste
- Rusty or brown water
Rust develops on the inside of pipes and strips material, builds residue, and restricts the flow of water throughout your plumbing system.
Repipe With Copper
If you have an old home you may want to consider having your galvanized drains repiped with copper piping that won't rust. Homes older than twenty five years often still have zinc coated, galvanized pipes that rust over time. A repipe with copper will remove or bypass the existing drain system and is not limited to water pipes, but can also be applied to gas and sewer pipes.
Rewards and Benefits of Copper Repipe
- Reduced plumbing repairs, problems and cost
- Clean, clear rust free water
- Better volume and water flow
- Better tasting drinking water (a great feature if you plan on selling your home or building)
After repiping most people are surprised to discover they can shower, wash dishes, water the lawn, wash laundry, and use faucets and fixtures at the same time while maintaining good water pressure.
