What are the advantages of copper repiping?
There are many benefits of copper repipes. Copper is a very durable material and can provide reliable service for 50 years or more. This, incidentally, is one reason why copper repiping helps raise the resale value of many properties. It is also a very easy material to work with, making installation simple. Because of its flexibility, copper tends to hold up very well during natural disasters (like earthquakes). Being very resistant to corrosion, it avoids the mineral buildup that is so prevalent in galvanized steel piping. Copper is also biostatic, meaning that it prevents the growth of bacteria so you’ll be ensured of a safe, potable water supply for a long time. Overall, copper offers many economic and health benefits, making it a very cost-effective investment for any home- or building owner.
