Copper Repiping in Preston, WA
Some homeowners want copper and nothing else. It handles heat, it lasts for decades in friendly water, and it is easy to inspect where it runs exposed in a basement.
SPB Hydro Plumbing connects Preston, WA homeowners with plumbers who repipe in copper. Inside the house, Type L is the heavier wall and the usual pick for a full repipe. Type M is thinner and cheaper, and some local codes limit where it can go. Joints are soldered with lead free solder or made with press fittings, which need no open flame inside finished walls.
Copper does have one weakness: aggressive water. Low pH, high chlorine or chloramine levels can pit the pipe from the inside and cause pinhole leaks. If your house already had pinholes in copper, a water test before the repipe helps you decide between copper and PEX.
Copper costs more in materials and labor than PEX. Call SPB Hydro Plumbing at (866) 335-0301 to compare both for your copper repiping.
