PEX Repipe Orange County, CA
Copper pinhole leaks and slab leaks are small, yet troublesome, plumbing issues that can cause significant damage if left unaddressed. These pinhole-sized holes occur in copper pipes due to a variety of factors, including corrosion, poor water quality, or high water pressure. What makes these leaks particularly concerning is their ability to go unnoticed for an extended period. Over time, the continuous drip from these tiny holes can weaken the surrounding area, leading to water damage, structural issues, and mold growth. It is crucial to detect and repair copper pinhole leaks promptly to avoid potential costly repairs and maintain the integrity of the plumbing system.
Fixing a single leak is cheaper than a whole house repipe, but in the long run is inefficient and expensive. Ultimately you need to repipe your home- replacing all existing pipes with brand new ones. That's where we come in, we replace your old, leaking pipes in a day or two.
Are copper pipes
that bad?
Here is a picture from a recent PEX repipe in Ladera Ranch, CA. This house was not even 20 years old! As you can see, the copper pipe is covered in corrosion and mineral build-up. It actually had a pinhole leak, but water has not shown through the drywall yet.
That is the result of poor workmanship, cheap copper pipes and harsh water conditions.
What is PEX?
PEX pipes are durable, flexible and made of polyethylene. PEX pipes are also non-toxic, BPA-free and with life-expectancy of 100 years. Compared to copper pipes, PEX pipes retain heat for longer, minerals don't build up inside, require less connections and fewer holes in your walls and ceilings.
