Why Repipe Your Home?
Many homes, especially older homes, have been built with
galvanized piping, which rusts and deteriorate in time.
Others have soft copper piping under a
concrete slab and this is subject to leaks.
Does Your Water System Look Like This?
This is what happens when rust builds up inside
galvanized water pipes. The rust restricts the
flow of water and causes a build-up of gunk and
slime throughout the system.
The water pressure in the main lines, at the
street level, may be fine but as the water
enters the property and moves through the house,
the clogged pipes reduce the volume of water
that can get through to the fixtures.
As the rust and deterioration factors worsen, the water can become dirty,
foul-smelling and unfit to drink.
SCALDED OR FROZEN IN THE SHOWER?
WATER UNFIT TO DRINK?
The most noticeable result of this build-up is low water pressure in the sinks, shower,
washer, yard sprinklers, etc., leading to annoying situations such as being scalded or
frozen in the shower when someone flushes the toilet or uses the water in another
part of the house.
Hidden leaks can develop inside the walls, in the attic and under the house,
running the risk of major damage to the home.
REPIPE WITH HARD COPPER OR PEX
The answer to this problem is to have the old, galvanized pipes replaced with PEX or hard copper piping, installed by professionals who specialize in this type of procedure, and the area's leading copper repipe specialist is ACME Plumbing.
PEX or Hard copper piping does not rust and will not develop the problems of
galvanized piping or soft copper.
