Re-Piping 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.

Old pipes give off a funky taste to your drinking water and can be very unhealthy for you. Over time, scale can build up on the pipes which is a substance that is formed from the limestone mineral content that’s present in most water systems.

You could also have tree roots that have taken over a section of your pipes, causing the need for re-piping. The pipes get infiltrated with the roots of certain types of trees as they send out a root network looking for water. If they find one tiny hole or loose connection that’s a water source, they’ll poke through the pipe and cause clogs. The section affected will likely split or break further as the roots grow and travel through the pipe system.

Certain materials misuse or improper installation of connections, fittings, or pipes can also be the key reason for re-piping. Sometimes you may need a complete re-pipe of the entire plumbing system while other times you may just need a section replaced. This can include all domestic and potable water piping and waste piping.
