We have some of the worst water in Orlando Florida and our plumbing system takes a beating. The chlorine in the water affects the the CPVC and makes it brittle and the copper plumbing is the worse. It is affected by not only the hard water but also if it is poorly installed. So you hear many Orlando plumbers talking about performing an Orlando repipe on your home and many will insist that you need a plumbing repipe. We have seen Orlando plumbing companies suggest an Orlando repipe for just a leaking hose bib and this is not right.
Like everything there is a time for re-plumbing but when is the right time to repipe your home. Well if you are living in a home and have a problem with a plumbing item such as a shut-off valve or hose bib this is definitely not a reason to repipe your Orlando home. If you have an Orlando plumber tell you to repipe because you have a leaky valve call a new plumber. If you start to have leaks in your copper plumbing such as in a wall, we suggest fixing it and keeping an eye out for other plumbing leaks. If you have multiple leaks popping up in the walls of your home then it is time to repipe your home. If you have a leak in the slab, the cost to have the leak located and the damage to the floors and home it is then in your best interest to have an Orlando repipe performed on your home.
There is also the case of poly-butylene if you have this piping in your home it is a ticking time bomb so much so that insurance companies have stopped insuring it and is making the customers repipe or they will not insure the home. Overall it is best to use your common sense when searching for a plumber and avoid the ones that seem to be trying to sell you a repipe and giving you no option. A good Orlando plumber will give you all the options you need and tell you their honest opinion while letting you make the choice and not pressure you into something. If you need a plumber or an Orlando repipe give us a call. Many times we can give you the price of the repipe over the phone so call us at 407-710-0210.
