Repiping in Annapolis, MD
As pipes age, they experience regular wear and tear. This leads to a range of problems. At some point, you will need to replace your pipes. If that time has come, call your local Annapolis repiping specialists at Heidler, Inc.
When Should You Repipe vs. Repair Your Pipes?
Minor pipe problems can be resolved with a simple repair. For example, clogs can easily be cleaned out by snaking or hydrojetting. Even small leaks can be patched up.
However, if your pipes are exhibiting frequent problems, repiping may be the more cost-effective option. If you live in an older home that features galvanized steel or polybutylene pipes, we recommend replacing these materials as soon as possible. Use more reliable materials to save you on costly repairs and severe property damage.
Contact us for repiping services if your pipes are showing signs of aging and degeneration, rust, or low water pressure. **Age:** older pipes experience problems more frequently as they age, eventually reaching a point where repairs are not a worthwhile investment. This is especially true if you have deteriorating galvanized steel or polybutylene pipes, which need to be replaced immediately. **Rust:** this can lead to physical integrity issues with the piping. If rust is allowed to expand and spread throughout your pipe system, the area that needs to be repiped will be much larger. **Water pressure:** low water pressure is a strong sign that there is a problem within your pipeline. This problem is most noticeable while in the shower.
What Are Your Options When Repiping With Us?
Copper and PEX piping are the two most common choices when it comes to long-term reliability.
**Copper** is a costlier option but is expected to last up to 100 years. Manufacturers have been known to assign 50-year warranties to their copper pipes. They are also highly durable — copper pipes can resist corrosion and extreme weather. This means they are ideal for both indoor and outdoor installation.
**PEX piping** is less costly to buy, install, and replace. It is usually red or blue in color and known to be highly durable as well. What makes PEX piping convenient is its flexibility during installation. This material has been known to last a lifetime and provides high water pressure in a much more efficient manner.

Know the warning signs
When to Call for Repiping
You Have Galvanized Steel or Polybutylene Pipe
UrgentBoth materials fail with age and polybutylene is notorious for it. We recommend replacing these materials as soon as possible.
Low Water Pressure Throughout the House
Low pressure is a strong sign there is a problem within your pipeline — usually corrosion narrowing the pipe from the inside. Most noticeable in the shower.
Rust or Discolored Water
UrgentRust leads to physical integrity issues with the piping. If it's allowed to spread, the area that needs repiping will be much larger and costlier.
Repeated Leaks in Different Places
One leak is a repair. Leaks appearing in new spots means the system as a whole has reached the end of its service life.

Questions?
Repiping FAQs
Should I choose copper or PEX?
Copper is costlier but expected to last up to 100 years, resists corrosion and extreme weather, and often carries a 50-year manufacturer warranty — it suits indoor and outdoor installation. PEX is less costly to buy, install, and replace, is highly flexible during installation, has been known to last a lifetime, and delivers high water pressure efficiently. We'll help you weigh both for your home.
How do I know if I need a repipe instead of a repair?
Minor problems — clogs, a small leak — are repairs. If your pipes are exhibiting frequent problems, repiping becomes the more cost-effective option. And if you have deteriorating galvanized steel or polybutylene pipe, we recommend replacement regardless.
Why is polybutylene such a problem?
It degrades from the inside and fails without much warning, which is why we recommend replacing it as soon as possible rather than waiting for the leak that causes severe property damage.
Will repiping fix my low water pressure?
Usually, yes — when the cause is corrosion narrowing the interior of old pipe. Low water pressure is a strong sign there's a problem within your pipeline, and new copper or PEX restores full flow.
How disruptive is a whole-home repipe?
It requires opening access points to reach lines in walls and ceilings, but we plan routes to minimize that and restore access afterward. We'll walk you through exactly what to expect before you commit.
