Sometimes we need to repipe sections of our house because we are adding a new appliance, or because something became damaged. If your house frequently has plumbing emergencies than perhaps it’s time to look at the plumbing structure and materials to see if there is a requirement for a piping overhaul.

Repiping is a great way to prevent emergency plumbing situations, damage to your belongings, and increase the value of your home.

Older houses built before the 1970’s may contain out-of-date metals like steel. You can determine if pipes need replacing by looking at any exposed piping in your house, and seeing if you can detect any flaking, discolouration, dimpling, etc. Leaky pipes are also a good sign that your pipes are old and might need replacing.

What kinds of piping to use?

Copper piping: Copper piping is small, rigid, and highly resistant to erosion. It can withstand a fire, has durability and usually comes with a 50+ warranty. However, copper is more expensive.

PEX: Cross-linked polyethylene – Very resilient, and resistant to low temperature damage. It’s flexible, immune to corrosion, and cheaper than copper.
