How To Tell When Your Covington Property Needs Re-Piping

Re-piping a house involves taking out all old plumbing and replacing them with new piping materials. As a Covington homeowner, you will have several considerations, including various pros and cons of having a new system. Westview Plumbing is happy to assess your plumbing and review your options so that you can get the repair, replacement, or total re-piping service you need to return your property to fully functioning and hassle-free plumbing.

Several factors must get considered when repiping your home. This includes the age of your pipes, the materials they are made of, and the type of plumbing problems you often encounter.

These are some of the top indicators that point to any property needing whole-house re-piping rather than repair work:

Your current pipes are made from galvanized steel, lead, or polybutylene. Lead is known to be poisonous to humans, so replacing lead pipes and those with traces of lead like galvanized steel, is imperative. Additionally, polybutylene piping is to fragile to stand up to regular use.
Your pipes have outlived their lifespan. The older the plumbing gets, the harder it is to maintain functionality. Cast iron may last 75-100 years, while plastic piping like PVC could last 100 years or indefinitely.
You have to perform regular repairs or the plumbing system seems to be failing. If you have constant leaks, discolored water, or erratic changes in temperature, these could all be signs that your plumbing should be completely replaced.

Always call professionals like our team at Westview Plumbing if you are curious if it is time for re-piping. Once your repairs seem to be getting closer together or you are wanting to upgrade your property value, we can give you a fair and honest estimate for re-piping plumbing services.

The team from Westview Plumbing was great. They arrived when they said, did work as agreed on and were able to make tweaks to the original plan as they went. We are doing a major remodel and they worked with us not having our sinks, tub, faucets or valves yet. We had a couple of estimates and theirs was much less than one....on par with another...we went with them because we liked the attitute and willingness to make it work. Glad we did! Highly recommend them if you are looking for any plumbing work. Also they were willing and able to start our job quickly.

Westview Plumbing went above and beyond for us in countless ways. We had major work done: our waste and water repiped, digging all the way to repipe to city supply. We also had a whole house filter installation, and new septic and water heater install. The difference for us after all of this work is night and day! Westview performed a miracle, completing this work at lightning speed, knowing we were having an upcoming wedding (at our home)--they worked late into the night several days in a row to get the bulk of the work completed and was truly mind blowing and magical. They had all troops on the ground, and it made such an incredible difference and impact for us. You’d be hard pressed to find with ANY company. Special shoutout to Josh, Dalton, Sunny, Heather, Markus, Noah and Mike. Dart and Wendy did scheduling and are always so easy to work with and so helpful. We look forward to our continuing relationship with Westview and consider them a tremendous asset in the continuing care for our home. Thank you Westview!

I have no problem with the work performed. They responded quickly and were able to do the repair same day. Their billing practices are deceptive and, in my opinion, unethical. Although, that's hardly uncommon these days.

Excellent and friendly customer service from the entire team. The technician assigned to us named Eddy was a superstar, providing honest and hard work. Definitely would hire him again for any of our family's future plumbing needs.

From the first phone call to the whole service, we received nothing but amazing service! As a childcare business, they took our call serious and got right to us! We got the pleasure of working with Noah and will be keeping them on call for any future needs! Thank you westview plumbing!
