What Benefits Can I Expect from the Repiping Work?

Repiping is transformational for your home plumbing. Once our plumbers complete their work, you can expect the following benefits from the upgrade:

  • Improved water quality
  • Improved water pressure
  • Reduced leak risks
  • Increased home value
  • Lower water consumption costs

Repiping with PEX

PEX piping is rugged and durable. Made from cross-linked polyethylene, PEX is a great option for homeowners looking for a simple replacement for poly-b and other legacy piping. 

The benefits of PEX for the Victoria home include:

  • More flexibility than traditional piping

For tight areas with less space for plumbing, PEX is an invaluable addition to the home. The material can bend more easily than metal piping and help plumbers navigate tight corners and confined spaces.

  • Excellent for retrofitting 

For homeowners with metal piping structures where the majority of the system performs effectively, PEX offers an excellent option for replacing parts of the structure that are failing. 

  • Affordable

Using PEX piping also reduces overall repiping project costs, because plumbers can use fewer elbow joints. PEX is also simpler for plumbers to work with, reducing their time on-site and thereby limiting your labor costs.

  • Resists Freezing

PEX’s chemical composition allows for expansion, which limits the potential for burst pipes due to freezing temperatures.

Repiping with Copper Pipes

There’s a good reason why copper is one of the most common choices for home repiping projects across Canada. Copper pipes bring the following benefits to any piping project:

  • Durability

Copper doesn’t rust and the average lifespan of copper pipes if 50-to-70 years, depending on the surrounding environment and local water quality.

  • Fire Resistance

Copper features a high thermal rating and is resistant to fires.

  • Environmentally-Friendly

Copper pipes are one of the most environmentally friendly methods for replacing home plumbing because there are fewer contaminants released during manufacturing. Copper is also a recyclable material, providing lasting environmental benefits for decades.
