How do I maintain my new copper repipe?
Copper pipes are remarkably low-maintenance. To ensure their longevity, simply maintain proper water pressure levels within your home and avoid using harsh chemical drain cleaners that can be abrasive to metal surfaces over long periods.
Why is professional copper repiping better than DIY?
Copper installation requires specialized soldering skills and precise knowledge of plumbing venting and pressure balancing. A professional ensures that all connections are fire-safe and code-compliant, preventing the high risk of leaks or water damage associated with amateur work.
Is the repiping process messy?
While repiping involves accessing pipes behind walls, we use surgical precision to minimize openings and keep dust contained. Our 3-step process includes a dedicated cleanup phase to ensure your home is left in excellent condition.
How does a copper repipe provide value?
A copper repipe significantly increases your home's value by providing a durable, lead-free water system that is a major asset during a home inspection. It also lowers the risk of insurance claims related to water damage from old, burst pipes.
What logistics are involved in a whole-home repipe?
The process involves a strategic plan to replace all hot and cold water lines while minimizing downtime for your household. Our team manages the logistics of water shut-offs and installation phases to ensure you are never without essential services for longer than necessary.
