What is repiping?

Repiping is the process of removing or bypassing an existing system in a home, building, etc., whether it be a domestic (fresh water intake) or a sewer (waste out take) system.

LOW WATER PRESSURE

The water pressure in the main lines, at the street level, may be fine but as the water enters the property and moves through the house, the clogged pipes reduce the volume of water that can get through to the fixtures.

Why copper repipe?

If you have an existing galvanized domestic system (fresh water intake system), the age of your premises is over 25 years or was built prior to 1980, chances are you have galvanized piping. Galvanized pipes (steel piping) rusts. Over a period of 25 years, a galvanized pipe will become so plugged with rust that a 1" pipe will look like a 1/8" pipe, or it will become so blocked, you will barely be able to see through the pipe. A domestic system consists of pressure vs. volume. Pressure is expressed by P.S.I. (pounds per square inch), which is measured by how much pressure the water department is pumping into your area. Volume is how much water can flow through your pipes. When your pipes are plugged, you do not intake the best possible volume on your premises. It is comparable to having clogged arteries. If you see signs of rust on the exterior of the pipes, erosion or corrosion, you have the potential for leaks or pipe bursts, which could cost you thousands of dollars in water damage.

At Mr Rescue we are proud to say that we only use the highest end, (top notch), American Made piping, fittings, ball valves, angle stops material available in the industry by research and statistics. Copper never rusts, builds up, or corrodes. Copper piping has a lifetime of 80-100 years, and offers dependability, reliability, consistent volume pressure, and a leak proof system.

The repiping instillation and procedures are very important in determining the life expectancy of the new system. At Mr. Rescue. We cut our pipes true, file smooth, and reamed to full bore tubing. All hot water tubing is to be installed with sufficient off set expansion loops to insure adequate compensation for the co-efficiency of expansion and contraction. We acoustically isolate with cloth felt from the straps or structure to eliminate pipe hammering and hissing of the copper system.

Mr. Rescue is the role model of the copper repiping industry. If Mr. Rescue isn't repiping your home or building, it simply isn't an Ultimate Repipe.

Repiping Procedures

In the morning, our crews will conduct a walk-through of the job with the property owner. Any questions or concerns will be answered, and suggestions from the property owner will be greatly appreciated.

To ensure the safety of your property, we cover all your floors, furniture and any other necessary items prior to beginning any job. With your permission, we will shut down your water, cut away your galvanized pipes, conduct the necessary wall openings, extract all debris from the premises, throw all debris in our trucks and haul it away.

At this point, we're ready to install your new copper piping. We cut our copper pipes true and ream to full bore tubing. We strap our pipes every three feet, acoustically isolate the copper piping from all other piping and/or structure.

Only lead-free solder and non-corrosive flux will be used on the job. Most jobs are completed in only one day.
