Copper repiping fixes these problems and saves you money
Repiping is a system-wide solution that cuts down
on costly water damage repair bills, saves money on water
lost to an inefficient system, improves delivery of hot
water and most importantly for many people, eliminates the
inconvenience of having low water pressure leaks.
What causes all these problems?
Low Water Pressure:
Low water pressure at a faucet, shower or washing machine is
caused by the build-up of rust and corrosion on the inside
of galvanized iron pipes. As these pipes age, the rust and
corrosion continues to build restricting the flow of water
more and more.
Rust
Colored Water:
Rusty or discolored water is caused by the rust from the
inside of the pipes combining with the water flowing through
the pipes. This usually indicates an advanced stage of
corrosion in the pipes.
Leaky
Pipes:
Leaks most commonly are caused by corrosion (the eating into
or wearing away gradually, as by rusting or chemical
reaction) of the galvanized iron pipes.
Galvanized
Iron Water Pipes:
Iron water pipes coated with zinc to prevent rusting and
corroding are called galvanized iron. As galvanized iron
pipes age, the zinc coating gradually wears away, exposing
the iron. The unprotected iron rusts rapidly in the presence
of water, just as iron rusts when it is exposed to rain.
Most pre-1970 homes were plumbed with this type of piping
and will require repiping.
