What is Repiping?
Repiping means all the old pipes are removed and the new, better pipes takes their place. It is not an easy task to repipe the whole house. It involves knowing the fault in the plumbing system, finding the most suitable pipe material for your plumbing network, contacting a plumbing company that knows the job perfectly.
When you contact Lake Forest Plumbing Champions for the repiping job, our skilled plumbers come over to inspect the plumbing network and foundation of your house. Using the video camera inspection, the extent of damage as well as the source of damage can be identified. This makes it easier to carry out the repair/replacement or repiping process as we know the inside condition of the pipe. If the issue is minor, a simple pipe repair may get results. However, if the issue is due to old pipes, which have corroded and broken due to usage over time, it is in your best interest to repipe the whole house.
Depending on the layout of the plumbing system in your home, the technician will give you a free in-house estimate after diagnosing the problem and the repair work involved. The replacement pipes we use are of the best by industry standards. The various pipes used these days for repiping have different features. Some might suit your requirements, while others might not. Our technicians will help you establish which pipe suits your needs, depending on durability of the pipe, resistance to acidic substance, climatic conditions in your area, as well as your budget.
PEX/AquaPEX Pipes
PEX/AquaPEX (crosslinked polyethylene) pipes are very flexible that makes them endure acute climatic conditions and changes such as freezing, without bursting. These pipes cost much less than the others while installation, and their maintenance is also economical. They are resistant to acidic substances as well as rusting and corrosion, which give them a long shelf life. PEX pipes give your home fixtures high water pressure.
The drawback of these PEX pipes that they cannot be connected to water heater. Also, these pipes get damaged by Ultra Violet (UV) rays, therefore, cannot be installed outdoors.
Copper Pipes
An improved variant of old iron pipes. As iron pipes get rusted and start corroding, copper pipes are used for repiping these days. Copper pipes have high durability and have a longer shelf life than PEX pipes. The joints of these copper pipes are very strong that they do not let any water seep through it.
Copper pipes have only one disadvantage that their installation costs are more than the other options.
CPVC Pipes
CPVC or Chlorinated PolyVinyl Chloride pipes are an upgraded version of regular PVC pipes. These are the most common pipes used in households for drain, vent and water line installation because of their resistance to root invasion and endurance against leakage. These pipes also have high resistance towards chemicals and do not allow scale build-up easily.
Our plumbers at Lake Forest Plumbing Champions shall guide you to choose the pipe most suitable for your premises. Once that happens, our team shall have the whole system repiped with minimum clutter and chaos. Upon completion of the job, our technicians make sure to put the whole system back so that there is no work left for you to do after they are gone.
