In Central Florida, many homes were built with copper water lines as the industry standard well into the 1980’s. We now know that copper is not conducive to concrete slab construction and consequently the presence of electrolysis in the plumbing system. The alternative standard became polybutylene piping which underwent quality control and manufacturing issues. Now, neither type of piping is accepted by insurance companies and as water damage is one of the most common and most costly insurance claims across the US, many homeowners are required to replace all water lines throughout their homes. All repipes present their own difficulties when working around existing structures and concealing pipes from view, but our repipe specialists excel in troubleshooting and developing creative alternatives to get the job done.
