Piping & Repiping Services in Antioch, CA
Signs You Need Your Home Repiped
If a home has a slab foundation and copper lines run under the concrete you will usually need to have a repipe completed. The first sign of this is a water leak that rises up from the floor or a water leak with no visible water indicated by an unusually high water bill.
Another reason repiping might be necessary is the type of plumbing material such as polybutylene pipe often found in mobile homes or galvanized pipe often found in older homes.
Why You Should Upgrade
When repiping a home Nancy’s Plumbing uses Copper pipe. Copper pipe when installed properly lasts a minimum of 50 years but often in most homes lasts the life of the home 100 years or more.
Often Galvanized Plumbing can cause flow restriction and the introduction of harmful metal sediment into the water supply. Copper pipes do not naturally cause flow restriction and allow the full pressure supplied to the home by municipal or well systems to reach the home.
