PEX tubing is a modern and popular choice of plumbing material for repiping projects.
PEX is made of flexible plastic, eliminating the need for coupling joints where leaks most commonly occur.
Our typical re-piping work includes the removal and replacement of the following:
– Galvanized steel piping was a popular product over 30 years ago.
– While effective in the short term, this type of piping rusts over time which can negatively affect the smell and taste of water.
– This piping is also prone to build-up which can affect water pressure.
– Polybutylene pipe is a plastic pipe product that was typically installed from the late 1970s to the mid-1990s because it was cheap and easy to install.
– Unfortunately, polybutylene is sensitive to UV light and reacts with chlorine and other oxidants which cause the pipes to become brittle.
– Over time, polybutylene pipes can develop small leaks or suddenly burst, causing water damage that can lead to toxic mould developing behind walls.
We offer free onsite consultations. If you have any questions about our unique repiping process, please do not hesitate to give us a call at (604) 253-9330.
