What is Included in Repiping a House?

Repiping a house is no small task. This isn’t something you can just research online and feel confident doing yourself. It also isn’t something to be nervous about, either. But when you’re constantly experiencing leaks, there comes a time when fixing faulty pipes just isn’t solving the problem anymore. If you’re making frequent repairs to your piping, maybe it’s time to call a repiping expert in Port St. Lucie. 

 

What is House Repiping?

House repiping is literally repiping the house’s water supply. This is an upgrade from old damaged pipes. Piping generally occurs if there are too many leaks and damages in the plumbing lines that simply can’t be corrected by general maintenance. Sometimes you just have to repipe the whole house! 

So why would you bother to repipe the house? If you’re constantly fixing plumbing issues in your home, it may be time to repipe your house. When you experience recurring problems, such as strange noises coming from the pipes, foul tasting or smelling water, or frequent leaks in different parts of your home, these are good signs that it’s time to repipe.  Discolored water, rust and low water pressure are also signs of faulty pipes. Another reason you would want to repipe your house is if the plumbing was done with lead pipes. If your home is more than 100 years old, you more than likely have lead pipes. Lead poses serious health risks to you and your family, including birth defects and other serious complications. Galvanized steel pipes are another reason to repipe the home, as well. Back in the 1940s, you would see this type of plumbing used on homes for several years. But after a while, these pipes would start to corrode and build up to restrict the flow of water. These pipes also pose a contaminant risk from the corrosion. Perhaps you simply want to remodel certain parts of your home. Starting with a clean set of pipes throughout your home will avoid issues that would arise if you were to mix the old with the new pipes. So, even if it’s just your bathroom remodel, it may be a worthy investment to repipe the whole house.

 

What’s Included in Repiping a House?

Whole house repiping will take some time and money. You have to know what you’re doing, and know what you’re looking for. You should first pair up with a skilled contractor to help you determine which pipes need replacing and the depth of the costly investment. And the best place to start is to hire a team that’s skilled in repiping a house in the Port St . Lucie area. This whole house project is an extensive one that entails replacing hot and cold water pipes, wastewater drained pipes, and then some. First thing’s first, get an inspection. You need a qualified plumber to give an estimate for a full repipe. Once you get the estimate from your local plumber, you can start to prepare your home. You’ll want to put a thick tarp of protection over your possessions and your furniture. Although the water in your home will be shut off, you will still want to protect your belongings from anything that could arise. The expert plumbers will have tools to locate the pipes that are behind the walls, exposing the pipes to your furniture and other areas of your home. Depending on the size of your home, a whole house repiping could take anywhere from a few days to a week, but sometimes longer. 

 

A whole house repiping is serious business. That’s why it’s important to have the right professionals estimate the cost and get the job done right. When you’re looking for a repiping, remember that Genesis plumbing experts are licensed and insured with many years of experience. They’ll ensure a full and detailed estimate of labor and material costs and anything else needed. Contact them today for your free estimate on whole house repiping!
