When Should You Repipe vs. Repair Your Pipes?
If your pipes at home need to be repaired, this is going to be something that can easily be done without a huge cost going into the project. The best way to tell if pipes can be repaired is if there is a menial problem that can easily be dealt with by our experts. For example, you might be dealing with a burst line that can quickly be repaired to get the plumbing working like new. On the other hand, there are going to be times when you should have repiping done. If you continually deal with plumbing issues, pipes bursting and leaking and some other problems revolving around your pipes, it might be a good idea to consider getting them changed.
If you are considering having the pipes in your home changed out completely, it could be you’ve either seen signs that led you to believe the project is necessary, or you’ve been looking for these signs.
Copper piping is an older style of piping that we see less and less these days due to the growing use and efficiency of other piping materials. Though sturdy and highly resilient against the elements, copper piping can be rigid and inflexible when it is being installed. This material is also very heavy, making the repair and replacement process for them a bit harder and therefore, more expensive.
Many places that build homes nowadays are going with PEX piping because of its durability, sleek look, and the fact that it is far more flexible than copper. PEX piping is very small and thin, and it is a very flexible type of pipe that can work well in even the tightest of areas. Many newer homes out there have this type of plumbing piping installed, and it might be an option that interests you as well.
