Repiping your home can feel like a big project, but in some cases, it’s necessary to protect your property and ensure reliable plumbing. Here’s how to know when it’s time to consider repiping and what the process entails.
Signs You Might Need to Repipe
- Frequent Leaks: If you’re constantly dealing with pipe leaks, it may be more cost-effective to replace your system entirely.
- Rusty or Discolored Water: This is often a sign of corrosion in galvanized pipes, common in older Tucson homes.
- Low Water Pressure: Mineral buildup or aging pipes can restrict water flow.
- Polybutylene Pipes: These pipes were popular in the 1970s-1990s but are prone to failure and should be replaced.
The Repiping Process
Step 1: Inspection: A professional plumber will assess your system using tools like camera inspections to identify problem areas.
Step 2: Planning: Arizona Elite Plumbing works with you to create a minimally invasive plan for repiping your home.
Step 3: Installation: The new piping is installed, followed by drywall repair and cleanup to leave your home in excellent condition.
