If you live in an older structure, chances are your piping system is old as well. You may have aging pipes that have gone through a lot of abuse over the years. Depending on the material of the pipes, they may begin to come apart at the joints and experience small cracks and fissures. Rust isn't something you want floating around in the water you'll be drinking, washing clothes in, or bathing in. And once it sets in within your pipes, you've little choice but to replace the pipes, which is what re-piping is.
Why Would I Need Re-Pipe Services?
Plumbing pipes that lead to and away from your home can be made of different materials. In general, they are plastic or metal, often with sections of both that meet together at a connection or juncture. Pipes were commonly made of galvanized steel, which is coated to protect from rust or decay. But over time, even this protected type of pipe will rust.
Repiping is a process that is designed to replace corroded, broken or outdated pipes with new plumbing pipes that are designed to allow water to flow smoothly in your home’s plumbing system. It is a bad idea to try to complete repiping projects on your own because it is too easy to make mistakes that are very costly to fix. You could also have tree roots that have taken over a section of your pipes, causing the need for re-piping.
