If you would like to know the status of your pipes or to survey how much life is left in part of your plumbing system, we can perform plumbing inspections to give you all the details.


Check out the benefits of common pipe materials below:


  • Copper: The most standard material employed in homes and buildings. It has slowly become more expensive over time and unfortunately is prone to freezing in colder weather. Good quality copper pipes typically last more than 50 years.
  • PVC: A variety of PVC materials are available. As it is plastic, it is fairly cheap relative to copper and other options, as well as flexible. However, PVC can easily fracture under stress.
  • PEX: A relatively new form of material available for piping. It furnishes better insulation and is regarded as environmentally friendly. In addition, it is not prone to corrosion and can simply be bent around corners rather than necessitating a join. However, this material must be installed in dark regions or concealed as it is vulnerable to direct sunlight.
