People who have old houses with existing galvanized pipes as part of their plumbing maze will usually consider a well-planned renovation for the long haul. Galvanized pipes tend to get clogged with deposits very easily, and it won't be long before they're totally blocked by dirt and debris, thus preventing the normal flow of water from the apertures. Galvanized pipes will most certainly rupture as it ages, and thus, re-piping is probably the best option and solution to all the plumbing woes of older homes.
If you're faced with plumbing issues at home because of a water leakage and are considering re-piping services, then you'll be presented with two piping options: PEX or Copper. Copper pipe is the number one pipe material used for plumbing work in both residential and commercial applications. It has been the standard of the plumbing industry for more than half a century, but lately, competition has appeared in the form of PEX pipe. PEX pipe is made from cross-linked high-density polyethylene (HDPE). When compared, Pex re-pipe services in Long Beach are cheaper and require fewer fittings. These are easier to install and less likely to have a leak. The fittings require no solder, glue, or adhesive, only a special crimping tool. Unlike copper pipes, no open flame torch is used in the installation of a PEX pipe.
