Interior Water Piping Repairs

Over the past 100 years or so, there have been 4 main types of domestic water piping. Let's review each of them below and then let's talk about repairs.

• Galvanized Piping - Galvanized piping was used in homes from the 1800s to about 1960.
• Copper Piping - Commonly used in homes from the 1940's - current. However, copper isn't commonly used in modern homes.
• CPVC Piping - CPVC is an acronym for Chlorinated Poly Vinyl Chloride or Chlorinated PVC. Commonly used in the 1980s and '90s.
• PEX piping - Cross-linked polyethylene! This became popular in homes in the late '90s to current.

Today, most Interior Water Piping Repairs and repiping in homes are done in PEX. PEX is durable, flexible, and is significantly cheaper for both the materials and labor than copper water piping. Homes that were plumbed with Galvanized Water Piping will eventually need the water piping replaced because Galvanized Water Piping is notorious for corroding to point the water supply can no longer pass to feed the fixtures because it has corroded shut. Copper Water Piping is not only expensive it's susceptible to pinhole leaks and electrolysis. Go To https://www.asiplumbing.com/electrolysis-in-copper-pipes/
