When to Repipe Your Home 

The occasional minor leak can be fixed with a quick repair or replacing the affected section of pipe. However, when the plumbing system is old and the problem is more widespread, repiping may become necessary. As plumbing pipes age, they begin to decay and corrode. The length of time pipes will last depends on the material and other factors. 

Repiping may be recommended when: 

• The pipes are more than 50 years old 
• Your pipes are frequently leaking 
• The pipes have extensive corrosion 
• The water pressure is low 
• There is a rusty color or metallic taste in the water 

Although many people are not aware of a problem or wait until the pipes fail, there are good reasons to consider repiping before the pipes give out completely. If you are building an addition or planning a large renovation project, it can be a good time to make any necessary upgrades to your plumbing system, including piping and repiping in Wilson. 

If you have concerns about your plumbing system, a qualified plumber can perform an inspection to evaluate the overall condition of the pipes and determine if repiping is needed. When you are installing new pipes or repiping the whole house, you will need to choose the pipe material that will be used for the job. Modern plumbing pipes are usually either copper or PEX piping. In some cases, a combination of both materials is used when installing a new plumbing system. 

There are advantages and disadvantages to each type of material. Your plumber can explain the materials, help you compare the options and prices, so you can make the best decision for your home. Whole house repiping is a big job that involves replacing all the water lines and drain pipes in your home. You need a plumber with the right training and experience to get the job done efficiently while minimizing the mess.
