Why You Should Upgrade to PEX Piping

If your home in Spartanburg & Greenville was built before the 1990s, it likely features galvanized steel or copper plumbing. While copper is excellent, galvanized steel rusts from the inside out, severely restricting water pressure and eventually springing leaks. Today, the undisputed champion of residential repiping is PEX (cross-linked polyethylene).

What Makes PEX Superior?

• Freeze Resistance: Unlike rigid copper or CPVC, PEX tubing is highly flexible. If the temperature plummets and water freezes inside the pipe, PEX can expand to accommodate the ice without bursting, then return to its original shape when it thaws.
• No Scale Buildup: Hard water minerals will not stick to the smooth interior of a PEX pipe. It will never corrode, pit, or rust, ensuring your water remains clean and your water pressure remains perfectly strong for decades.
• Faster, Cleaner Installation: Because PEX is flexible, it can be "fished" through walls and floor joists like electrical wiring. This means our plumbers don't have to tear down massive sections of drywall to install it, keeping the repiping process clean and minimizing your home repair costs.

A whole-house repipe sounds intimidating, but it is one of the highest ROI investments you can make in an older home. It eliminates the constant stress of pinhole leaks and completely revitalizes your daily water pressure. Call the repiping experts at Pipedex Plumbing & Drains today for a free evaluation.
