When is Repiping needed?
There are many reasons why repiping may be necessary
Older buildings often have pipes made from polybutylene and copper. Though these materials are quite durable, they can corrode or wear away over the years. This corrosion may lead to leaks that cause extensive damage to your property.
Galvanized pipes are another type of pipe that causes problems over time. This is because they have a protective zinc coating. Unfortunately, the lining does eventually corrode and rust after many years of water exposure.
Another common reason for repiping is when a building changes hands. The new owner may not know the condition of the existing piping system. In this case, it is best to get a professional opinion to avoid potential problems down the line.
If you experience any of the following piping problems or issues, call Affordable Repipe of Orlando to see how we can help:
- Low water pressure: Corrosion in your pipes may lead to a sudden drop in water pressure.
- Discolored water: If your water has a strange color or odor, it may be due to rust in the pipes. This is often an indication of old or damaged pipes.
- Multiple leaks: It may be time for repiping if you have multiple leaks in your home or business. This is true if the leaks are located in different areas around the property.
- Strange sounds: If you hear unfamiliar noises coming from your pipes, it may be due to corrosion or sediment build-up. Pipes may become brittle and break.

What are the benefits of repiping?
There are many benefits to repiping, including:
- Improved water pressure: Since your new pipes will not be corroded, water can flow freely and at the correct pressure.
- Increased lifespan of pipes: The material in your new pipes is less likely to corrode or break, which means they tend to last longer.
- Better tasting water: New pipes will not leach metals or other contaminants into your water, making it safer and taste better.
