Home & Commercial RePiping in Tucson & Vail, Arizona & Surrounding Areas

When is Re-piping Your House Necessary and What’s Involved in the Process?

Small leaks in your pipes can be fixed with simple, unobtrusive repairs. However, multiple leaks and stoppages may necessitate replacing all the water piping in your home. If re-piping is necessary, Vail Plumbing will completely remove the old, failed system and replace it with best system available on the market today.

When would you need to re-pipe your house?

• You live in an older home that has never had its pipes replaced. If so, there is a good chance that there are cracking polybutylene or corroding galvanized pipes lurking in your walls.
• Your home has low water pressure. If water doesn’t come out of your faucets as fast as it used to, it could be because your pipes filled with rust or mineral buildup. Buildup like this takes a long time to accumulate, so it’s a good indication that your pipes are aging and will need to be replaced soon.
• Your water is red or brown. Some types of pipes can rust over time. This rust will break off into your home’s water supply and can turn your tap water a reddish or brown color. In this case, re-piping your house is necessary because your water can be unsafe for drinking and bathing.
• There is always a new leak. Isolated pipe leaks can occur in any plumbing system. But if leaks are a common occurrence in your home, and no number of repairs can seem to change that, it is likely that your pipes have beyond their useful lifespan and require replacement.

Investing in re-piping your house will end the constant repairs, conserve water, and ensure the best possible quality of drinking water for you and your family.
