Repiping is the process of replacing a building’s pipes. This usually pertains to the water supply of the plumbing system, but it can also refer to other pipes within your home. Repiping is a major undertaking, but it doesn’t have to be complicated. 

Consider repiping your home if you notice any of the following signs: 

• Discolored water – Cloudy water or water that has a strange odor could be indicative of corrosion within your water supply pipes. Water should be clean and clear when it flows out of your fixtures.
• Low water pressure – If you are experiencing a sudden drop in water pressure, it can indicate that there is a leak somewhere in your pipe system.
• Repeated leak repairs – Constant repairs for leaks in your pipe system probably means that your pipes are in need of replacement.
• Strange smell or taste – If your drinking water doesn’t taste right, it can mean that the metal in your pipes is breaking down and allowing other contaminants into your water.

You should also consider repiping your home if your home still has lead pipes, which is common in older homes, usually built before the 1930s. Similarly, if your home has galvanized steel pipes, you should consider repiping your home. These pipes typically have a life span of up to 80 years, but it is often the case that the zinc coating on these pipes wears off much sooner, which can cause the pipe to fail. We recommend PVC, CPVC, or copper pipes for your new pipe system.
