Complete Repiping
Water leaks can be a big problem for a home and business owner. While a tiny leak in a pipe is usually easy to fix, more serious issues
may require a complete repipe. If you have experienced different plumbing problems, such as frequent leaks in different areas of your home
or office building, pipe failures due to rust, low water pressure, discolored water, strange noises coming from pipes, and or water that
tastes or smells bad, you may need to repipe your home of office building.
Repiping Process:
- We will inspect your property for any signs that indicate your property needs repiping.
In addition, we will go over the nature of the problems you are having, any
 work
that has been done on your plumbing system in the past, the piping materials used, plumbing system layout. All these details can
turn a complex repiping project into a more straightforward task.
- Depending on the age of your plumbing system, we may advise you to do a complete repipe or to repipe
a single section of your plumbing system. If a whole repipe is necessary, repiping your entire property may cost less than
replacing different sections of your plumbing system after they fail. Additionally, pipes that burst unexpectedly can cause
substantial damage to your property and may require extensive repairs.
- We will recommend the best material options for your home. Among the plumbing
materials available nowadays, PEX offers several advantages that make it an excellent choice for many applications. To begin with,
PEX pipes are lightweight and flexible, which means they can be inserted easily in existing water line pathways. Because PEX piping
is easier to install and requires smaller openings in drywall, we can complete the work sooner. In addition, PEX costs less than other
plumbing materials and may last longer because it does not corrode. Also, PEX has a low thermal conductivity rate. As a result,
it conserves energy better than other plumbing materials, including copper.
- During the repiping process, we will cover all work areas with tarps in order to
prevent damage to your floors, furniture, and other belongings. Then, using special
tools we will locate the locations of pipes behind your walls and cut and remove
small portions of drywall to access your pipes. The pipes in the flooring are usually
 reached
from the basement or ceiling. After installing the new pipes, you will have a new, leak-free plumbing system.
- While a repiping project typically involves replacing an old plumbing system with a new one, you
could also choose for specific retrofitting tasks, such as installing a new water heater, expanding the current plumbing system
to a new addition, and upgrading your property with low-flow fixtures. Because newer models of low-flow fixtures, including commodes,
faucets, and shower heads, use considerably less water, they can lower your water bills considerably. Besides saving you money in
the long run and increasing the functionality of your property, installing new fixtures as part of your repiping project will allow
you to give your property a fresh look at a lower price than if you would choose to do each job separately.
 Depending
on the size of your property and the number of fixtures, a repiping project can take up to a week to complete. After
repiping your property, we will test the plumbing system in order to make sure that water is flowing properly. You should notice
the difference in your plumbing system right away. Not only will your water flow easier through pipes, which will increase its
pressure; it may also taste better because it does not have to make its way through old, corroded pipes to get to you. Monthly
water bills most likely decrease as well, and you probably will not have to worry about repairs for many years to come.
As daunting as repiping your property may seem, here are five positive reasons why property owners should repipe their water lines:
 Energy
Savings - New plumbing is installed with more durable materials and technology,
making your property more energy efficient. An older property might have galvanized piping that corrodes over time. Eventually,
these pipes will need to be replaced, which means even bigger bills for heating and cooling. Replacing old pipes can
help lower energy costs while keeping hot water temperatures steady, no matter what time of year it is. - Protects Against Damage - A major advantage of repiping is that it protects against damage
to your peroperty. Without a repipe, there is always a chance that a leak will develop in an old pipe which will then cause
problems in some other part of your property. A repipe prevents any leaks from happening since all of the pipes are brand new and
durable. Also, there will not be any debris or lime buildup which could affect any areas of your property’s functionality.
- Increases Property Value - New pipes can improve your property’s value.
- Better Water Quality - Repiping can increase overall water quality, thereby making your
drinking and bathing waters healthier. Repiping water lines will reduce health risks associated with pathogens (viruses
and bacteria), heavy metals, nitrates, nitrites and other harmful chemicals that may find their way into a property’s water
supply through corroded pipes. In addition to improving drinking and bathing water quality, repiped services are often
eligible for rebates from local government programs.
- Peace of Mind - Repiping is a great way to reduce possible risks with mold and bacteria in
property. You will also avoid costly repairs that can occur from faulty pipes and leaks. In fact, leaking pipes
cost property owners an estimated $3 billion a year. By repiping all of your water lines, you eliminate these problems once
and for all.
