Plumbing Repairs & Maintenance
Are you constantly spending money to repair leaking pipes? In many of these cases, a repiping service is a more efficient and economical solution.
The idea of repiping your home can be scary to many homeowners. The work involved and perceived cost can seriously dissuade anyone from investing in this service. But the fact is, repiping is often the better choice in many instances.
Signs you Should Repipe
If the idea of repiping your home is daunting, consider this: in many cases, replacing older pipes with a new, more efficient system will result in considerable monthly savings. Some signs that you need to consider replacing your pipes include:
- Noticing a change in the colour of your water
- Experiencing bad tasting or bad smelling water
- Rising water bills
- If there is a change in your water pressure
If repiping services are necessary, the experts at Cardinal Plumbing & Electric can walk you through the process and explain each step, making sure you are comfortable and confident in your decision.
PEX vs. Copper
Two main piping materials are standard in the industry. Both offer benefits and advantages such as removing any metallic taste from your water. There are, however, some differences that would make one type better over the other for certain homeowners.
PEX
- Inexpensive to install
- Flexible material makes it easy to install and repair if needed
- Cannot be connected directly to a water heater
- Sensitive to UV light and, therefore, cannot be used outside
COPPER
- Lasts longer than PEX
- Strong and sturdy, joints will not sag
- Is not prone to leak
- The upfront cost to install it is more expensive
