Pipe Replacement

The pipes in your plumbing system should be in good condition so that they can adequately deliver water to the various fixtures and appliances in your home. Routine maintenance will help to reduce the chances of a system backup or water leaks; however, over time plumbing pipes lose their integrity, particularly in older homes. Once the pipes are no longer serviceable, you will want to replace them with new pipes.

Repiping services can be applied either to your entire plumbing system, or just in the sections that need the most work. This is not a small job, and you should only hire a certified plumbing contractor you can trust to replace the pipes in your Orlando area home.

Our clients can count on us to get the job done right, with minimal disruption and superior customer service. Call today to set up a consultation.

Pipe Replacement Warning Signs

Although you may not know you need a repiping service until something goes wrong, there are some indicators you can watch for. For example, if your water pressure has dropped suddenly, or you have constant issues with overflowing toilets and other backups, your pipes may need to be replaced. More obvious signs are discolored water that contains red flakes or has a bitter taste. This is evidence of corrosion, which is also a health concern that needs to be addressed. 

Also take into account the age and composition of your pipes. If you moved into an older home with iron or copper pipes and you don’t know how long it has been since they were installed, then any of the signs above give you pretty good reason to consider having an initial consultation about the potential for repiping. If you are moving into a home that still has lead pipes, it is important to replace them immediately. Lead pipes can be hazardous to your family’s health, as can any pipes that are corroding.

Repiping Materials

After deciding the time is right to replace your pipes, it is time to choose what type of pipes you want installed. Although copper used to be the standard, the most common and frequently recommended material for new pipes PEX or CPVC. These materials last longer than iron or copper, which means that your system will be easier to maintain and have less repair needs. Feel free to contact us if you have questions about a repiping service and whether PEX or CPVC is the best choice for your new pipes.
