Plumbing Re-Pipes

The Plumber’s Plumber has performed over a 1,000 whole house re-pipes.  We can re-pipe a whole house in 1 day.

Pipe lining can restore corroded piping systems without the costly expense and disruption of a repipe. Pipe corrosion occurs in virtually all types of piping systems beginning from the moment they are put into service. Over years, corrosion build-up in piping can obstruct water flow, collect lead and other potentially harmful elements, and result in the gradual deterioration of the pipe itself and overall water quality. Within 15- 20 years time, as much as 70% of the pipe's original flow capacity can be lost as a result of internal pipe corrosion.  The adverse effects of this natural deterioration are all too familiar: colored, bad tasting and foul smelling drinking water, poor flow and heat transfer, and an abundance of leaks.

The pipe lining process provides a quick and permanent solution for extending the useful life of older piping systems. After cleaning the pipe and taking all required measurements, we pull our lining material into place while it is still pliable, allowing it to go around bends and curves in the pipe.  Then, a chemical reaction occurs within the lining material and applied epoxy resins that allows it to harden in place to form a new pipe within the old pipe.

Recent and ongoing research by the EPA has conveyed a growing concern over the adverse effects of high lead and copper levels in infants, children and pregnant women. The U.S. Dept. of Health and Human Services postulates that lead is the number one environmental threat to our childrens' health, with increasing exposure rates caused by the continued consumption of water from aging, corroded potable water systems, many of which are still fitted with original lead-based plumbing fixtures. Pipe lining will provide a permanent protective barrier within the pipe halting the further leaching of these and other harmful elements.
