Copper<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Copper pipes are a proven standard for residential plumbing. Copper can be used with hot or cold water and are extremely durable. Even better, copper has a long lifespan but can be recycled once it eventually does need to be replaced. However, the downside of copper tubing is the price. It\u2019s also important to know that copper pipes in older homes (built before 1980) may contain lead-based solder. It\u2019s important that you get them tested and replaced if necessary! Call us now<\/strong> to check you Copper pipe position today at 510-257-1408.<\/strong>

PEX<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

PEX (Cross-link Polyethylene) is a safe, versatile, and flexible option. It\u2019s extremely heat resistant and is suitable for hot and cold water distribution lines. Its flexibility means easy installation. Plumbers can unroll PEX tubing from long spools and thread it through walls and around tight corners without the need for fittings (a common spot for leaks to develop). Another benefit of PEX is that it\u2019s more freeze-resistant than metal or rigid plastic pipes. However, nothing is perfect. A few weaknesses of PEX include the fact that it can\u2019t be used in exposed areas outside (underground or indoor installations only) and it can\u2019t be recycled. Its flexibility also makes it vulnerable to being chewed on by rodents. don’t wait contact us today or visit at https:\/\/www.mrdrain.com<\/a><\/strong>

CPVC<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

CPVC (Chlorinated Polyvinyl Chloride) pipes are a common choice for residential plumbing. Made from a type of plastic, CPVC pipes are known for their durability \u2014 unlike metal pipes, there\u2019s no fear of rust or corrosion. CPVC pipes are also more affordable than PEX or metal. CPVC can be used for residential hot and cold-water applications and is a popular choice to replace old copper tubing. A downside is that CPVC pipes are prone to splitting if they freeze. Also, old CPVC pipes can\u2019t be recycled. just call Mr. Drain<\/a><\/strong> today to get better solution for you CPVC.
