What is repiping?

Repiping is the process of removing or bypassing an existing system in a home, building, etc., whether it be a domestic (fresh water intake) or a sewer (waste out take) system.

Why copper repipe?

If you have an existing galvanized domestic system (fresh water intake system), the age of your premises is over 25 years or was built prior to 1980, chances are you have galvanized piping. Galvanized pipes (steel piping) rusts. Over a period of 25 years, a galvanized pipe will become so plugged with rust that a 1" pipe will look like a 1/8" pipe, or it will become so blocked, you will barely be able to see through the pipe. A domestic system consists of pressure vs. volume. Pressure is expressed by P.S.I. (pounds per square inch), which is measured by how much pressure the water department is pumping into your area. Volume is how much water can flow through your pipes. When your pipes are plugged, you do not intake the best possible volume on your premises. It is comparable to having clogged arteries. If you see signs of rust on the exterior of the pipes, erosion or corrosion, you have the potential for leaks or pipe bursts, which could cost you thousands of dollars in water damage.

At Ultimate Plumbing we are proud to say that we only use the highest end, (top notch), American Made piping, fittings, ball valves, angle stops material available in the industry by research and statistics. Copper never rusts, builds up, or corrodes. Copper piping has a lifetime of 80-100 years, and offers dependability, reliability, consistent volume pressure, and a leak proof system.

The repiping instillation and procedures are very important in determining the life expectancy of the new system. At Ultimate Plumbing, Inc. we cut our pipes true, file smooth, and reamed to full bore tubing. All hot water tubing is to be installed with sufficient off set expansion loops to insure adequate compensation for the co-efficiency of expansion and contraction. We acoustically isolate with cloth felt from the straps or structure to eliminate pipe hammering and hissing of the copper system.

Ultimate Plumbing, Inc. is the role model of the copper repiping industry. If Ultimate Plumbing, Inc. isn't repiping your home or building, it simply isn't an Ultimate Repipe.

Why Repipe your Drainage System

If you are experiencing excessive drain cleaning bills due to back ups, most likely your system consists of galvanized, cast iron, or clay piping. Slug builds up in cast iron, or galvanized waste piping. By drain cleaning all you accomplish is a 1/4" hole through the slug out of a 2" or 3" waste pipe, then after 2 to 6 months you need to clean the waste line again, the process is repetitive, and so are the bills.

Waste leaks occur due to corrosion of galvanized or cast iron piping aged over 25 years. Waste leaks and spills under a house or building is hazardous to our well being.

A main sewer line from the house, or building to the property line or side walk consisting of clay piping will most likely have a root build up in one or several sections of the pipe. Root infestation will take place within cracks, and hubs (adjourning 6 foot sections) which will cause root build up, accumulation and constant back up.

If you have these systems every 6 months to a year chances are you need a new main sewer line.

At Ultimate Plumbing, Inc. we use top notch ABS materials proudly made in the U.S.A. which doesn't build up, corrode, or leak. Everything slides and glides right through the pipes inner walls. No build up, which assures endless use and life of the ABS system. Chances are you will never see us or another plumbing service company for at least a lifetime by conducting the water intake (Copper Repipe) and the waste out take (waste repipe).
