If your home is more than a few decades old, your plumbing system may be overdue for an upgrade. Aging pipes can lead to frequent leaks, low water pressure, water discoloration, and even property damage. At Peaden, we offer expert repiping services designed to replace outdated piping with today’s most durable, efficient materials.
Wondering what materials we use and why they matter? Here’s a closer look at the modern piping solutions Peaden Pros rely on to deliver long-lasting results.
Why Repiping Is Necessary
Older homes were often built with galvanized steel or polybutylene piping—materials that are prone to corrosion, leaks, and failures over time. Even copper, while widely used and long-lasting, can suffer from pinhole leaks and mineral buildup after years of use.
If you’re experiencing these issues, it may be time to consider repiping.
- Frequent leaks or water damage
- Discolored or foul-smelling water
- Low water pressure throughout your home
- Noisy pipes or banging sounds
Modern Materials We Trust
At Peaden, we use only proven, code-compliant materials for repiping jobs across Fairhope and Baldwin County. Each material is selected for its durability, safety, and performance in Southern Alabama’s climate.
1. PEX (Cross-Linked Polyethylene)
PEX is one of the most popular piping materials in modern plumbing—and for good reason. Benefits:
- Resistant to corrosion, scale, and chlorine
- Less prone to bursting in freezing temperatures
- Quiet operation (less water hammer noise)
- Flexibility makes it easier to install, especially in tight spaces
Peaden Pros often recommend PEX for full-home repiping because of its long lifespan and reduced labor costs.
2. CPVC (Chlorinated Polyvinyl Chloride)
CPVC is another trusted choice, especially for hot water lines and older homes. Benefits:
- Handles high temperatures well
- Non-corrosive and chemical resistant
- Cost-effective compared to copper
- Approved for both residential and commercial use
CPVC is rigid and requires more fittings than PEX, but it remains a reliable, safe material for water distribution systems.
3. Copper (in Select Applications)
Although not used as frequently in full-home repiping due to cost, copper is still valued for certain applications. Benefits:
- Long lifespan and high-pressure tolerance
- Naturally antimicrobial
- Resistant to UV damage (ideal for exposed piping)
Peaden Pros may use copper in specific areas where it’s beneficial—such as exterior wall penetrations or certain high-heat environments.
