Copper Re-piping
Why Consider Copper Re-piping
Galvanized pipes (water lines) in older homes rust and deteriorate over time. As galvanized iron pipes age, the zinc coating gradually wears away, exposing the iron. The unprotected iron rusts rapidly in the presence of water, just as iron rusts when it is exposed to rain. Most pre-1970 homes were plumbed with this type of piping and will require re-piping. The rust builds up inside the pipes, restricting the flow of water to fixtures which creates annoying symptoms such as:
- Low water pressure
- Shower temperature changes when a toilet is flushed or water is used elsewhere in the home
- Water quality is compromised by a foul smell or discoloration
- Rust spots in toilets and sinks as well as laundered clothes may appear
As rust and deterioration worsen, pipes begin to leak. Often times, leaks are hidden inside walls, in the attic, or under the house, potentially causing major damage to your home.
Copper Re-piping will provide great water pressure throughout your home, improve delivery of hot water, eliminate costly water damage repair bills, and will reduce your water bill.
