PEX Repiping In Orange County

PEX Repiping require less fittings than copper piping. The bendable tubing can turn corners without the need for 90 degree fittings, and PEX tubing can be installed in long runs without the need for extra fittings. Repiping a home with PEX tubing does not require soldering, PEX is also safer to install since a torch is not needed to make the fitting connections.. PEX resists the scale build-up common with copper pipe, and does not pit or corrode when exposed to acidic water. PEX is more resistant to freeze-breakage because the pipe is flexable. PEX tubing does not lose heat as fast as copper, and so conserves more energy.

Water flows with less sound through PEX tube, and the "water hammer" noise of copper pipe is less common. PEX Repipe installations cost less because of the material cost and there is less labor involved.
