At Caccia Plumbing, our plumbing experts work hard to help homeowners in the Bay Area enjoy superior comfort and reliable plumbing solutions.

Many homes throughout the area feature sturdy, durable, but aging copper piping. And many more feature older piping materials that aren’t as durable as modern copper solutions.

When your pipes age or fail, our team can help you identify the optimal copper pipes for your home. We can replace older copper pipes, or help you make a seamless switch from other materials that have cracked, rusted, or burst.

When it’s time to replace your old pipes, call (650) 442-1470 to learn more about the many advantages of copper piping and schedule a service in the Bay Area.

Signs Your Copper Pipes Need To Be Replaced

There are many reasons for copper pipe failure. If you detect any of these signs, it may be time to replace your old pipes:

• Decreased water pressure: This can happen when connections fail or pipes break.
• Leaks: Leaks are common when seals and joints fail, or when pipes have been punctured.
• Water discoloration: Discolored water is a sign of a break within the pipe that’s allowing dirt, debris, etc. to enter the plumbing system.
• Condensation: Condensation or pinhole leaks can develop when high-pH water wears away at the pipe.
• Pipe discoloration: Copper ages slowly, but when it turns blue, it’s an indication the pipes are nearing the end of their serviceable life span.

How Long Do Copper Pipes Last?

Copper pipes are among the most durable piping options. Properly installed, copper pipes have an average life expectancy of between 40 and 60 years.

However, there are many copper pipes that have provided far longer serviceable life spans. This boils down to quality craftsmanship, high-quality products, and the required expertise to properly service and maintain copper piping.

Our Repiping Process

Our professional plumbers will thoroughly inspect your pipes and determine the most cost-effective, efficient solution for your needs. Our attention to detail throughout the planning stages expedites installation time and ensures superior quality.

We consider many factors in the repiping process, including the size of your home, the number of plumbing fixtures, the type of material, the diameter of the pipes, accessibility of the existing pipes, required permits, and estimated labor requirements.

Once everything is agreed upon and ready, we’ll start repiping your home. Repiping is an extensive project and will typically take anywhere from a few days to over a week to complete.

During this time, all plumbing services to the home will be shut off, so you’ll need to relocate in the interim. Because of this, we work closely with our clients to schedule repiping for the most convenient time, and we work quickly to ensure we meet the completion deadline.
