Since repiping an Auburn home requires replacing existing piping, it is a large home investment. Repiping specialists can ensure that the work is done right, and lasts for years to come.
Here are a few points of when to repipe an Auburn home:
- Galvanized pipe should be replaced at the start of leakage
- Older 70’s to mid-90’s polybutylene pipes need to be replaced
- If there are test reports showing corrosion or a lot of scale build-up
- Water that tastes metallic or is a rusty color
- Slab leaks – often better to repipe along a different way

There are a few main types of piping that can be used for Auburn homes. These include galvanized steel, copper, acrylonitrile butadiene styrene (ABS), and cross-linked polyethylene (PEX). Out of these, PVC is the most commonly used type because of its affordability and availability in many different forms and sizes. It is also flexible in terms of cold and warm water applications. PEX piping is easier to install, so it is popular among plumbers. In addition, because it does not require glue like PVC does, it bypasses the chance of the glue getting into the water. Last, it is resistant to corrosion. Copper plumbing pipes are also resistant to corrosion and leakage. However, they are sensitive to certain kinds of soil. Local Auburn building codes can give guidance on the recommended type of piping in your area.
