We treat every home and building plumbing system as if it’s our own and offer financing options for affordable and manageable solutions that accommodate households, property owners, and local businesses.

In old homes especially, your pipes may be approaching the end of their life cycle. If you’re unsure about how old your pipes are or what kind of pipes were originally installed in your plumbing system, a thorough inspection from a local plumbing professional will be able to provide more answers. Original plumbing systems in older homes were made with copper or galvanized steel pipes. However, copper naturally thins out over time, which causes pinhole leaks in plumbing systems. Alternatively, galvanized steel corrodes over the years, leading to low water pressure throughout your fixtures and appliances.

» Whole-House Repiping History

Unfortunately, no plumbing system lasts forever. Homeowners and property owners will face a variety of reasons for repiping or replacing their pipes. More often than not, as pipes age, they are prone to causing low water pressure, rusty colored water, and/or leaky pipes.

Additionally, if your home or building is located in a hard-water area, lime and other mineral deposits can cause flow problems like slow warming of water to hot or inconsistent water temperatures–which also affect the quality of your pipes over time.

Some older houses have lead pipes, which don’t corrode as easily but create health risks for residents and occupants.

In the late 1940s and early 1950s, polybutylene was a typical substance used to pipe newly built homes. While polybutylene appeared to a better, cheaper alternative to copper and other expensive piping materials, it actually degenerates faster and is prone to negative reactions with chlorine and other substances found in the water supply that cause pieces of the pipe to flake off or even wash away.

» When Is Repiping Necessary?

Don’t just wait for noticeable leaks before considering repiping your home or building. There are numerous signs that indicate your pipes ought to be replaced sooner rather than later, including but not limited to:

  • Flakes of dark material in your water
  • Odd flavors in drinking/tap water
  • Dramatic decrease in water pressure

In an effort to DIY test their pipes, many homeowners and property managers are led to believe that the “Squeeze Test” is a surefire way to determine if your home or building requires repiping. The Squeeze Test entails compressing a pipe in your hand or between your fingers to look for leaks in the joint when the pipe gives a little. However, pipes with leaky joints have passed the point of no return and threaten the integrity of your structure. That’s why it’s important to contact your local professionals even with seemingly small plumbing issues–they could be hinting at larger underlying problems with your pipes.
