Repiping and supply line replacement in Lebanon

Mineral scale can build up inside galvanized and copper pipe, narrowing it and reducing flow. Corrosion eats at the pipe from within. Together they cause the classic symptoms: low pressure, rusty water and leaks.

Scale inside a pipe does not always show up as brown water. It can show up as a shower that slowly weakens over the years. The house seems to be fine and then you realize you have not had good pressure in ages. Testing the pressure at a hose bib and comparing it with the pressure at a fixture inside tells us whether the supply line is losing it on the way.

New pipe can change how your water tastes and looks for a short time. PEX may give a faint plastic note for the first few days, and copper can leave a little metal taste if it has not been flushed. Both settle quickly. Running each tap for a couple of minutes, and flushing the water heater once the lines are in, clears most of it.

If you have hard water, a repipe is a good moment to think about a softener or a whole-house filter. Scale builds up inside new pipe the same as in old pipe, just slower. A softener protects the pipes, the heater and the fixtures. It adds a drain, a power outlet and a bypass valve, all of which are easier to plan while lines are open.

Not everyone wants a house torn up at once. If your budget or your schedule says to go in stages, we can plan it that way. Start with the worst run and the main line. Update shutoffs and the regulator. Come back for the rest when you are ready. It takes a little more coordination, and it keeps the cost spread out.
