Consider repiping your house when:
- You have an old house with original plumbing
- Your pipes are corroded
- You have discolored, yellowish or brown water
- Excessive leaking is a continual problem
Whole House Repiping Options
There are a couple of options available to homeowners when considering a full repipe, and the materials you choose will depend on your budget and needs.
- Copper: If you currently have old pipes that are made of galvanized steel, then the standard for water pipes is copper. This type of metal is used because of its durability and its resistance to rust and corrosion. However, it is very expensive.
- PEX: This is a flexible, plastic pipe that is much cheaper to buy and easier to install than copper – it also resists corrosion and freezing more than other types of piping. This type of pipe is becoming standard in new construction.
