Signs You Need a Whole House Repipe
Sometimes we can get away with just replacing some of your pipes within your plumbing system, but other times you’ll need a whole house repipe service. Here are some reasons you may need to go forward with replacing all the pipes in your home with new ones:
- Old Pipes: If your pipes are old, they are more likely to leak and cause problems. We may recommend pip replacement throughout your whole home if that’s the case.
- Corrosion: Corroded pipes are also prone to leaks and can affect your water quality, which is why they are a good candidate for a whole house repipe.
- Dangerous Materials: Pipes that are made of galvanized steel or lead should be replaced immediately, as they are now known to be unsafe or unreliable materials for piping.
Repiping Materials
We mainly specialize in the following two repiping materials due to their reliability and their longevity. Read more about the perks of each kind of material and why we may recommend its use in your home.
Copper Repipe
While they are made of copper, this type of piping is considered the gold standard for pipe materials. This is due to the fact that it is naturally antimicrobial and highly durable. A copper repipe could last you over 50 years, so you would likely only have to get one repipe for the rest of your life.
PEX Repiping
The other highly popular and effective option for repiping is PEX, also known as cross-linked polyethylene. PEX repiping is frequently used because it is highly flexible and does well in cold and freezing weather. It also minimizes the risk of chlorine or scale build up. You can trust PEX repiping to last you at least 40 years, so it is also a long-term investment in your home’s functionality.
Plumbing Maintenance Guide
There are steps you can take to increase the longevity of your pipes and reduce the likelihood of needing repairs or premature repiping in the future. Here are some of our top tips:
- Only flush toilet paper. Other items including wipes that claim they’re “flushable” can cause damage to your pipe system.
- Fix leaks fast. If you avoid letting your sinks or tubs leak longer than necessary, that could improve the lifespan of your pipes.
- Repair toilet leaks immediately. Pay close attention to your toilet and make sure it doesn’t leak for long, if at all.
- Don’t abuse your garbage disposal. Try not to send large food debris including coffee grounds or eggshells down your garbage disposal, as this may lead to a damaging blockage.
