Bearden Repipe

A complete replacement of your pipe work could be vital if you have discovered that your existing pipes are becoming old and worn. Old iron pipes can rust over time, and if your home is more than 30 years old, there is a good chance that your home is fitted with iron pipes. Most of these iron pipes were coated with zinc in order to lessen the chances of corrosion, however, even the zinc coating is not a perfect solution to preventing rusting of iron pipes. Therefore, you should consider hiring a Bearden Repipe contractor to replace the old iron pipes in your home with new ones made from copper or PEX.

What can a Bearden Repipe Specialist do?

Unfortunately, repiping is an extensive and intensive task, and is not something that can be accomplished by an amateur, meaning that it makes more sense to hire a Bearden Repipe contractor to tackle the job on your behalf. The first thing that a repiping specialist will do is to inspect your pipe system, as well as making a plan of the system; this is so they can run the new pipes in the same location as the existing pipes.

Reasons for Repiping

A repiping project may need to be carried out on your home or place of work if you begin to notice any of the following:

• Wet Basement
• Leaking Pipes
• Corroded Pipes
• Loss of water pressure
• Water that has an unpleasant taste or odor
• Water that is discolored

The Benefits of Repiping over Repairing

There are a number of advantages to repiping over repairing old pipes, and these include clean and rust free drinking water, better water flow and volume and less chance of leaking and flooding. These advantages are particularly important if you are thinking about selling your home in the near future, and can help you to raise the resale value of your home.

If you have delayed a decision over whether you need to commence a repiping project because you consider it to be a costly project, you should seriously consider the advantages. Although you will be paying money for the repiping project, you will be saving money in the long-term, and the cost of repiping is a lot less than the cost of flood recovery. And flooding is a real possibility if your pipes become damaged or corrode through.
