Home Repiping in Colorado Springs, CO

Owning an older home has many benefits. It can provide a sense of strength and timelessness that can be comforting. But, along with those qualities come a few negative features. For instance, older homes tend to have plumbing problems more often than newer homes. 

Are you a proud owner of an older home, or any home, with piping problems? If so, we can help. At WireNut Home Services, our team specializes in residential pipe repair. We have served Colorado Springs, CO, and surrounding areas since 2004. Whatever your residential plumbing needs, our skilled technicians can resolve the problem.

In some homes, the piping problems are repairable. But, many times, whole-house re-piping is necessary.

Reasons to Consider Repiping Your Plumbing System

One reason for piping problems in older homes is the type of pipes used. Galvanized pipes were popular many years ago. They have a zinc coating to prevent rust or corrosion. But, over the years, the coating wore away causing leaks and failures. The pipes also release lead into the water, which can cause several health problems. 

To protect your family’s health and prevent further damage to your home, think about whether repiping could be the best solution to your plumbing problems. 

Benefits of Whole House Repiping

Re-piping your home can provide several benefits, such as:

• Cleaner, fresher drinking water
• Allows waste to flow away more efficiently
• Improved water pressure
• Leak prevention
• Increases the value of the home
• Eliminates rust and lead in the water

When you choose whole-house repiping, different types of pipe are available. The technicians may install copper piping because it resists bacteria and corrosion. Or, they might select PEX piping due to its flexibility. 

If you’re unsure which type of piping is best for your home, talk to the experts at WireNut Home Services. We’ll help you make the best decision for your needs.

What Is Pipe Relining?

When homeowners can’t afford whole-house repiping, another option is available. They can choose to re-line the old pipes. This process involves repairing cracks from the inside of the existing pipe. 

Pipe relining also prevents expensive and inconvenient digging on the property. No new construction will take place during the relining process.

With the re-line method, old pipes can be stronger than new pipes. A custom-made composite resin is cured in place. This gives the pipe added strength and durability. It’s like having a new pipe inside the old pipe. Of course, you may use other methods depending on the company and their preferences.  

How to Care for New or Repaired Piping

Once the repiping process is done, homeowners should do whatever they can to protect the system and avoid more repairs. These suggestions may be helpful:

• Avoid using highly-corrosive cleaners 
• Use a water softener 
• Don’t dump grease down the drain
• Flush drains with hot water regularly
• Don’t overuse the garbage disposal
• Use a mesh screen over drains to block debris 

Sometimes, despite your best efforts, a clogged pipe or drain can still happen. When it does, WireNut Home Services will provide a prompt and effective resolution.

What to Expect During the Plumbing Repiping Process

Before we begin a repair job, we inspect the pipes from within. A camera transporter is fed through the pipes to identify the cause of the problem. This process provides pertinent information. For instance, the camera can reveal the age of the pipes and the location of cracks, breaks, or clogs. With this data, we can form a quick and accurate diagnosis.

Next, our technicians use the camera’s information to plan the best approach to the problem. One method involves trenchless repair. We know this is important to homeowners.  They want to avoid digging up the landscape on the property. 

Our goal is to save time and reduce stress. And, we want to get you back to normal as soon as possible without unnecessary expense.
