If you live in an older home or a home that has been plagued by frequent plumbing problems, you may want to consider a whole home repiping project. While this can be a big undertaking, the professionals at AAA City Plumbing are experienced in working through a repiping project efficiently and effectively with the least possible amount of disruption to your family.

How Do You Know You Need Repiping?

One of the biggest signs that your home may need repiping is simply the age of your home. If you live in an older home and are addressing plumbing problems frequently, a whole home repiping can save you many headaches and money in the future. Some other signs that you may need repiping include visible signs of corrosion on pipes, such as flaking or rusting, foul odors from drains or faucets, a noticeable decrease in the water quality and taste even after using filtration systems, inconsistent water temperature or water pressure, or water stains or damage, which can indicate slow, hidden leaks.

Choosing the Right Pipes for Your Project

There are many different types of pipes and materials used in residential and commercial plumbing. The most common options are PEX pipes and copper pipes, and both have their benefits and drawbacks.

Copper pipes have been the traditional choice for many years. They are reliable, have a long lifespan, and are a time-tested sturdy choice. However, copper pipes can be expensive, and they do run the risk of freezing in cold temperatures, leading to burst pipes and expensive repairs.

PEX pipes are more cost-effective, particularly in big jobs. In addition, PEX pipes are flexible and can expand up to eight times their size before freezing, which significantly reduces the risk of a burst pipe in cold weather. However, PEX pipes can break down over time, particularly in high heat or when exposed to chemicals or chlorine. When you are choosing the pipe material, talk to AAA City Plumbing to determine which material is best for your home or business.
