PEX Repiping

PEX Repiping Services in Sacramento

One of the signs of a property functioning efficiently is clear drains. By ensuring wastewater is being disposed of effectively, you are positioning your property as a cornerstone of modern sanitation. For most people, when they notice a clogged drain, the first thing that comes to mind is how inconvenient they will be to clear. Despite being a nuisance, clogged drains are also responsible for slow waste flow, foul odors, and sewage and water backing up into basins.

However, the damage caused by these drains go deeper than that. Clogged drains can also cause damaged pipes, water damage, leaks, damage to property and so on. It is always better, easier, cost effective and quicker to have a drain cleaning company come in to clean the drain or replace the line if necessary.

Is There a Good Time to Repipe My Property?

The best time to opt for a full repipe of your property is when old metal like galvanized iron or poly piping is evident in your current piping. These materials are a lot more susceptible to leaks and could also contaminate the water you drink. Galvanized pipes could also leak lead into water which is very harmful to the body. A great way to know the type of piping your home has is to take in the period your home was constructed into account.

Repiping your property can either be a corrective or a proactive move. As a proactive move, you will be preventing leaks, bursts, or contaminated water. And as a corrective move, you could be seeking to restore an earlier water pressure.

The Preferred Option

By repiping your property, you are solving any of the following issues:

PEX is resistant to scaling, corrosion and freezing. It does not allow heat transfer, can be laid without any welding and it can be connected in almost any way you can think of. All of these make Sacramento home repiping with PEX one of the preferred options to most owners.

How Does PEX Stand Up Against Copper?

Although it Is one of the favorite options, PEX is not the only material used to make pipes. Copper pipping is also a known and equally popular option for repiping in properties. And depending on who you ask, you could get varying answers on which is better.

PEX pipe is made from polyethylene which is a very flexible material. This makes it easy to bend and it fits perfectly in those tricky areas in your home. This is what makes them a preferred option over their contemporaries. They also come in a wide variety of sizes from the ¼-inch all the way to the 4-inch.

On the other hand, copper piping has been around for few decades. It has been known to last for years and it requires very little to no maintenance. However, these pipes are not flexible and installation within those tight spaces could be tricky. This is the major difference between both materials.
