Repiping in Central Florida
Owning an older home or business building comes with the need to update your property every now and then, and the plumbing is no exception. Aging pipes hidden inside walls and under floors eventually break down, and repiping replaces them before they burst or leak everywhere and cause excessive water damage.
True Plumbers & AC provides whole-home and commercial repiping that upgrades your property to durable, leak-free plumbing. We provide our repiping services to residential and commercial properties in Lakeland, Winter Haven, Plant City, Tampa, and the nearby cities in Florida.
When Should Your Pipes Be Replaced?
Because most of your plumbing is out of sight, it is easy to miss the warning signs until a leak forces the issue. Pay attention to what comes out of your taps and how the system behaves, because those clues tell you when the pipes are nearing the end of their life.
- The tap water is discolored. If you see brown or reddish tap water coming out of the faucet, then it is a sign that the pipes are beginning to rust.
- You have an older building. Homes or businesses built many years ago are likely to have galvanized pipes, which will typically break down over time.
- The building has low water pressure. If you are experiencing low water pressure, it could be due to mineral and rust building up in the pipes.
- You have had pipe leaks repaired several times. If the pipes keep leaking, then it is indicative of the older pipes breaking down and losing structure.
How We Repipe a Building and How Long It May Take
Repiping will take some time. Depending on the size of your home or office, it could take anywhere from a couple of days to a few weeks. We plan the work to keep your property livable and minimize disruption while the new system goes in.
Depending on your budget for the job, we will typically use either copper or PEX pipes, as these are long-lasting, durable materials that do not have as many leaks. Once the pipes are installed, our plumbing contractors test the new system to ensure there are no leaks and that everything flows well.
Copper and PEX: Choosing the Right Material
Both copper and PEX are proven, long-lasting materials designed to resist leaks, and the best option for your property depends on your budget, your existing plumbing system, and the scope of the job. Copper is rigid and time-tested, while PEX is flexible and often faster to install.
Our team will walk you through both options so you can make an informed decision rather than guessing at what fits your home and budget.
