When Repiping is Necessary

The first step in the repair process is determining when you need repiping services. In some situations, pipe repair is possible. In fact, we recommend trying to repair your pipes whenever feasible because of the cost savings.

However, once your pipes reach a certain point, repairs will no longer cut it, and repiping will become necessary.

One sign you require repiping is when your water quality begins degrading. If you notice your water’s taste or smell worsening over time, it could mean your pipes are breaking down from the inside and leaving sediment in the water. You could also notice your water turning brown in this situation.

Another sign your need repiping is if your water pressure is constantly low. Once again, as your pipes start breaking down, they produce sediment. This sediment can clog your water line, hindering its performance. You could also encounter leaks or cracks as this sediment builds.

An unexpected increase in your water bill could mean you have a leak in your pipes. In some cases, we can repair this problem. However, if you notice your water bills steadily increasing without a leak, it could mean the pipes are deteriorating to the point where a new water line is necessary.

Constant repairs could be a sign your water line is in trouble. The occasional leaky pipe every decade or so is normal, but if Hunt’s Services is always at your home or commercial property repairing a water line, having new ones installed is probably your best bet.

Finally, replacing your water line is the best practice once your pipes reach a certain age. It’s only a matter of time until you experience leaks and other issues, especially if you live in an older home with its original pipes, so proactively replacing them is advisable.

Your Repiping Options

You’ll have some decisions to make before repiping your home or business. Generally, there are three material types – copper, CPVC, and PEX – from which to choose, and your choice ultimately comes down to your budget and personal preferences.

Copper was the go-to for water line replacements for a long time, but its fluctuating costs have led to many homeowners going in other directions. However, copper pipes can last from 75 to 100 years because they won’t corrode. They’re also more durable than PEX, smaller than CPVC, and don’t harbor bacteria.

CPVC pipes started showing up in 1960s builds and have increased in popularity ever since. This material is easier to work with than copper and costs less, making it an affordable alternative when repiping your home. It’s worth considering that CPVC is prone to cracking during earthquakes, which could be a concern in the Pacific Northwest.

PEX is becoming a favorite with modern builders because it’s cost-effective, and its flexibility makes it easy to work with in tight spaces. PEX eliminates the need for joint fittings, which is where many leaks begin and is naturally insulated to protect against heat loss. The problem is that since it’s a relatively new way of doing things, there are some questions about its long-term durability.
