Reasons to replace

  • Repeated leaks in the same system
  • Galvanized lines with low pressure or rusty water
  • Polybutylene supply lines
  • Multiple slab leaks in copper lines
  • Cast-iron drains with bellies, cracks or holes on camera

Reasons to wait

A single leak in otherwise sound copper, or drains that camera clean, may only need repair.

Plan with a remodel

Opening walls anyway lowers the cost of replacement. See repiping before remodeling.
