Signs Your Water Lines or Pipes Need Re-Piping

The harsh water conditions in Central Florida are tough on water pipes. Over a period of time, the inside lining of the pipe will deteriorate and a small pinhole leak will develop. Sometimes the solution is to repair the damaged section of pipe and a spot repair is all that is necessary to solve the issue. Other times a more extensive solution is needed: re-piping.

The type of plumbing in your home is a determining factor in how long you can expect it to last. Brass and galvanized steel supply pipes typically last between 80-100 years, copper supply pipes 70-80 years. Cast-iron drain lines typically last 80-100 years and PVC typically lasts 25-40 years.
