Manatee & North Sarasota Counties Repiping Expert

Nobody thinks about it, but pipes don’t last forever. Nobody other than a plumber that is! By the time most people realize it, it’s too late. A major leak is not the best way to learn about repiping your home. By that time you have not only the cost of the repiping, you have the cost of the water damage. If you have a home over 50 years old, you should definitely have your pipes inspected at the very least. Other than age there are other reasons why you should have a repiping expert inspect your plumbing.

  1. Lead pipes are unsafe and pose a health hazard
  2. Polybutylene pipes tend to leak
  3. Galvanized pipes have a higher chance of erosion posing a risk of leaks

  7. Low water pressure
  8. Water discoloration

Pipe Inspection

With the exception of lead pipes, none of the above plumbing issues necessary warrant a whole house repiping. The first step is to have a plumbing expert from Wyman Plumbing inspect your pipes as other repairs may solve the problem you are experiencing and save you money.

Repiping Material Options

Copper pipes are still an option and has improved over the years. Today we use a non-lead solder to join pipes. Copper does not become brittle as it ages and is not susceptible to rodents.

CPVC pipes are a popular substitute for copper. These pipes will not corrode or develop pinhole leaks. CPVC is much less expensive and requires less work to install.

Just because you have a certain type of pipe now doesn’t mean you have to replace the pipes with the same type. Your repiping expert from Wyman Plumbing will discuss your options.
