Whole-Home Repiping for a Better Plumbing System
Have you experienced large-scale problems across your plumbing system? Are your pipes old or made out of an outdated material, like polybutylene? You may be a good candidate for whole-house repiping in Cedar Rapids or your town in Eastern Iowa. The plumbers at Benjamin Franklin Plumbing of Eastern Iowa are prepared to offer the assistance you need to execute a large project like this. Trust us to take excellent care of your home.
Repiping is typically only suggested if you have noticeable problems with your plumbing system, like frequent or persistent leaks, corroded or rusting pipes, etc. It also should only be performed by a licensed and insured plumber who has experience with similar projects; that way you ensure you’re in good hands. At Benjamin Franklin Plumbing of Eastern Iowa, we have 40 years of experience serving our community and can confidently take on any job, including repiping.
What is Repiping?
Repiping is the process by which all or some of the pipes in your home are replaced. Whole-house repiping refers to the replacement of all pipes, which might happen if they are old, fragile, or the material they are made out of is no longer in use. For example, galvanized steel pipes are no longer in use for drain and water pipes because the coating inside can corrode over time, leaching harmful substances like lead into your water supply.
Partial repiping is sometimes possible. For example, if part of your plumbing system is susceptible to leaks, but the rest is still in good condition, a partial replacement may be sufficient.
At Benjamin Franklin Plumbing, we don’t recommend repiping lightly. This involved service takes time, financial investment, and dedicated attention. If possible, we recommend timing repiping services in Cedar Rapids so they coincide with other work you are doing in your home, like bathroom or kitchen remodeling, to diminish the total amount of time your home will be under construction.
How Repiping Can Benefit Your Home
There are a significant number of homes in Cedar Rapids that are nearly a century old – about 16% of our city’s homes were built in 1939 or earlier. If the pipes in your home have never been replaced, and you have an older home, you may be astounded by the improvement caused by repiping in Cedar Rapids.
Here are a few of the benefits you can expect:
- Better water pressure and drain flow: Without years of build-up, corrosion, and other problems, the water will flow much faster throughout your plumbing system. You’ll have better water pressure in your showers and sinks, while also enjoying drains that function smoothly.
- Cleaner, better-tasting water: If your pipes have rusted or corroded, your water likely does not taste or smell great right now. It may also not be healthy to drink. Once you replace your pipes, you’ll access clean, clear, delicious water daily.
- Fewer leaks: A leak can completely disrupt your life, sometimes for months on end if the resulting damage is severe. Repiping replaces persistently leaky pipes with ones that are less likely to crack or burst.
- Peace of mind: Knowing that your pipes are made with new, tested, and durable materials can be a comfort, especially if you’ve been dealing with an old plumbing system for a while.
