Pipes don't last forever. Galvanized steel pipes, common in homes built before the 1980s, corrode from the inside out reducing water pressure, discoloring your water, and eventually failing entirely. Copper pipes can develop pinhole leaks over time, especially in areas with acidic water. Polybutylene pipes, installed in many homes during the 1980s and 90s, are known to crack and fail without warning. If your Lerna, IL home has aging pipes or you've had multiple leaks in a short period, a full or partial repipe may be the most cost-effective long-term solution.
Water Heater Co. handles both targeted pipe repairs and full repiping projects in Lerna, IL. For a single damaged section, we open the minimum necessary access point, replace the damaged pipe with quality materials, and restore the wall when we're done. For whole-home repiping, we plan the work carefully to minimize disruption to your household, protect your belongings, and get your water running cleanly through new lines as efficiently as possible. We use modern materials copper or PEX chosen based on your home's setup and local water conditions.
