Do you experience low water pressure? Do you get rust colored or yellow water? Do you get scalded in the shower when someone flushes, uses a sink or turns on the washing machine? Have you had leaks in your plumbing? What causes all these problems?

Low Water Pressure

Low water pressure at a faucet, shower or washing machine is caused by the build-up of rust and corrosion on the inside of galvanized iron pipes. As these pipes age, the rust and corrosion continues to build restricting the flow of water more and more

Rust Colored Water

Rusty or discolored water is caused by the rust from the inside of pipes combining with the water flowing through pipes. This usually indicates an advanced stage of the galvanized iron pipes.

Leaky Pipes

Leaks most commonly are caused by corrosion (the eating into or wearing away gradually, as by rusting or chemical) of the galvanized iron pipes.

Galvanized Iron Water Pipes

Iron water pipes coated with zinc to prevent rusting and corroding are called galvanized iron. As galvanized iron pipes age, the zinc coating gradually wears away, exposing the iron. The unprotected iron rusts rapidly in the presence of water, just as iron rusts when it is exposed to rain. Most pre 1970 homes were piped this way and will eventually require repair.

The Solution

Copper re-piping fixes these problems and saves you money. Re-piping is a system-wide solution that cuts down on costly water damage repairs, improves delivery of hot water and most importantly, eliminates the inconvenience of having low water pressure and leaks.
