When Should You Repipe Your Home?
Over time, pipes can corrode, leak, or become outdated, leading to costly repairs if left unchecked. Knowing the signs that it’s time to repipe can save you from unexpected plumbing emergencies. Consider repiping your home if:
- Your home is 30 years or older: Older homes often have outdated plumbing materials like galvanized steel or polybutylene, which are prone to corrosion and failure.
- You experience frequent leaks or repairs: Constant leaks or repairs are frustrating and can indicate widespread pipe deterioration.
- You have low water pressure: Mineral buildup from hard water can restrict water flow and cause pressure issues throughout your home.
- You notice discolored water or rust stains: Rusty water is a clear sign that your pipes are rusting from the inside, especially if your home still has metal pipes.
- You’re renovating or updating your home: Major home renovations are a great time to upgrade your plumbing system to modern, more durable materials.
Types of Plumbing Pipe Materials
The type of material used to pipe your home greatly impacts your plumbing system. Outdated materials like galvanized steel or polybutylene can lead to frequent issues and should be replaced. Common piping materials include:
- PEX (cross-linked polyethylene): This lasts 40 to 50 years. This flexible and durable material is resistant to scaling and ideal for hot and cold water systems.
- Copper: This lasts 50+ years. A common choice for older homes, copper is durable but can corrode over time, especially in areas with acidic water.
- PVC (polyvinyl chloride): This lasts 50 to 70 years. Often used for drain and vent lines, PVC is affordable and resists corrosion but isn’t suitable for hot water lines.
- CPVC (chlorinated polyvinyl chloride): This lasts 40 to 50 years. This is a more heat-resistant version of PVC, suitable for both hot and cold water lines.
- Galvanized steel: This lasts 20 to 50 years. It’s common in older homes but prone to rust, scaling, and internal corrosion, leading to water quality issues.
