Water Pipes

What kind of pipes do you have in your house?

Cast Iron pipes
Copper Pipes
Plastic Pipes

Copper pipe has many advantageous properties:

  • Not easy breakable
  • Has a high bursting strength
  • It is impervious to rust, etc.

But on the same time some disadvantages exist:

  • Can be frozen
  • High initial cost
  • Copper is a good conductor of heat, electricity and sound, it takes the same temperature as a liquid flowing in the pipe.
  • Ammonia contained in some wastes tends to dissolve the copper oxide

When you have copper pipes for water service in your basement, be sure that pipes are insulated, plumbers recommend. Because when copper pipes are frozen, you can get pipe leakage after that. Broken pipe will make a lot of damage to your property.

Copper pipes are great to keep your water clean (compare to lead pipes), but remember: when you do exchange lead pipe to copper pipe, ask our Plumber for pipe size upgrade to increase you water preassure.
