Re-piping Services in Decatur Texas

---

 At Tapped Out Plumbing and Backflow, we believe your plumbing should be as reliable as the plumber who installed it. Whether you're replacing outdated lines or planning new construction, choosing the right type of piping is critical to the long-term performance of your system.

We take the time to walk you through the pros and cons of each material so you can make an informed decision that aligns with your home, budget, and future needs.

Copper:
Highly durable and corrosion-resistant, copper is known for its exceptional longevity. It’s fire- and bacteria-resistant, making it ideal for both indoor and outdoor applications. While copper is more costly than other materials, many homeowners view it as a long-term investment in reliability.

PEX (Cross-linked Polyethylene):
Flexible, cost-effective, and fast to install, PEX is resistant to corrosion and freezing. However, it's best suited for indoor use, as it may degrade when exposed to sunlight or high temperatures.

PVC (Polyvinyl Chloride):
A popular choice for drain lines, PVC is rigid, easy to install, and budget-friendly. It performs well with cold water but is not recommended for high-heat or hot water applications.

CPVC (Chlorinated Polyvinyl Chloride):
Similar to PVC, CPVC is designed to withstand higher temperatures, making it a great alternative to copper in full plumbing systems. It’s strong, corrosion-resistant, and a reliable option for hot water lines.

Galvanized Steel:
Once a common standard, galvanized steel is strong and durable but susceptible to internal corrosion over time. Aging galvanized pipes can lead to reduced water flow and compromised water quality.

Cast Iron:
Often found in older homes and commercial buildings, cast iron offers superior noise-dampening and durability. However, it can rust and deteriorate with age, especially if not properly maintained.

Every plumbing system has a lifespan. If your home is over 50 years old or you’re dealing with frequent plumbing issues, it may be time to consider re-piping.
