Copper Piping Vs. PEX Pipes

Copper piping has long been used in homes across Canada for decades. Originally trusted for its durability, copper has revealed a few noteworthy drawbacks overtime that property owners should be aware of, including:

1. Susceptible to bursts due to freezing temperatures.
2. Contain metallic elements that can contaminate water quality.
3. The short lifespan when not properly cared for.
4. Copper can corrode over time due to chemicals and heat.

PEX pipes, on the other hand, are a more modern solution. They are installed efficiently and are not as susceptible to external factors. 

When To Replace Copper Piping

The timeline for replacing copper piping will depend on when it was installed, and its current condition. Copper piping can have a maximum lifespan of up to 50 years. However, they can start to crack, and fittings can fail within 5 years. 

If you have not upgraded your piping, it may be worth getting a professional assessment. At 604-Fix-Leak, our team of experienced and licensed plumbers can accurately assess your current pipes and provide helpful advice on the remaining lifespan and your best replacement options.
