What is repiping?
Repiping is the procedure of replacing existing pipes in a building or home. Most structures built 25 or more years ago contained galvanized pipes, or zinc-coated iron pipes. When these pipes age the zinc lining erodes away, triggering the formation of rust. The pipes must be replaced as soon as this deterioration process begins. Do not wait until you start noticing leaks.
Why is repiping necessary?
Is your washing machine filling up slower than it used to? Is the water pressure in your shower less than ideal? Does your tap water taste bitter? Is your shower water the color of rust? These are all indications that you may need to repipe your home. Homeowners typically replace their pipes when they start to see a significant fall in water pressure. It is also time to replace your pipes when they begin to leak, tap water looks dirty due to rust, or a polluted smell is emitted from the tap. Call us today to come out to your home or business to figure out if your problems are due to eroding pipes and whether or not you need to get your pipes replaced.
