What’s the Difference Between Repiping Service and Pipe Repair in Greater Vancouver?
When plumbing issues strike, you might wonder: Do I need a complete home repipe, or can I just repair the damaged section? Understanding the distinction is crucial for protecting your property’s safety and value.
Pipe Repair
Pipe repair typically involves fixing or replacing a single damaged or leaking section of your plumbing. This is an appropriate solution when:
The rest of your piping is in good condition
Leaks are isolated to one or two locations
The piping material is not at the end of its life expectancy
Whole-Home Repiping Services
House repiping services involve a comprehensive replacement of all potable water pipes throughout your home, eliminating old, corroded, or hazardous plumbing. This holistic approach is best when your system exhibits signs of widespread failure.
Signs You Need a Whole-Home Repipe:
- Persistent low water pressure throughout your home
- Discolored, rusty, or foul-tasting water
- Frequent leaks in multiple areas
- Visible corrosion on exposed pipes
- Mold or water damage on walls and ceilings
- Your home is older (built before 1990) and has original pipes
- You have galvanized, polybutylene, or lead pipes
- Noticeable drop in water quality after recent repairs
Our experienced team will conduct a thorough evaluation and recommend the best, most cost-effective solution for your specific situation.
Repiping Material Options in Metro Vancouver
Copper Repiping
Copper Piping is one of the most popular materials used for piping in businesses and homes. The versatility and flexibility of copper pipe make it easy to use both on the outside and inside of a building. Not only is it a flexible material, but it also lasts a very long time, which is why many homeowners tend to choose it over others. When it comes to copper repiping, you have three different options to choose from– the K-grade, the M-grade, and the L-grade.
M-grade copper pipes are used for indoor plumbing. K-grade copper pipes are significantly thicker than M-grade or L-grade pipes, making them more suitable for outdoor plumbing applications.
Galvanized Pipes
Galvanized steel pipes are not used as often anymore, but they still play a role in many plumbing jobs. Many homes that are more than 30 years old tend to have galvanized steel pipes. If your home has galvanized pipes and you are interested in repiping, your pipes will more than likely be replaced with a more efficient material, like copper or PEX, that doesn't rust. Galvanized pipes usually rust over a 40-year period due to the continuous flow of water.
PEX Repiping
PEX pipes are still used and are set up as cross-linked polyethylene pipes. These plastic pipes are very flexible and resistant to cracking, scaling, and chlorine. When it comes to the hose, PEX pipes tend to fit easily, without the need for joints and elbows. PEX repiping is also a great option because the material can handle high-temperature water, making it appropriate for hot applications.
