Spot repair or repipe: pipe repair & repiping in Gastonia?
When is a spot repair enough?
A single split from a freeze, a nail through a line, or one failed fitting on otherwise sound pipe.
When does repiping make sense?
When galvanized pipe causes low pressure and rusty water, when copper keeps pinholing, when polybutylene is present, or when several materials are patched together and leaking at the joints.
Preventing freeze damage: pipe repair & repiping in Gastonia
Supply lines in crawl spaces and near foundation vents freeze first in hard cold. Insulate exposed runs, close vents during freezes and drip a faucet on the coldest nights. Repiping needs a permit.
