There is still an abundance of copper piping found in the plumbing of homes, commercial buildings, hospitals, hotels, and more. Nu Flow has the ideal method for doing the essential repairs when any of these fixtures break, leak, or become damaged. As the year 2016 kicks off, the professionals are expecting an increase in the amount of copper pipe repairs that are required.When homes were built around 50 years ago, many plumbing contractors installed copper pipes for all the water needs. This was the most effective and sturdiest material available at that time. Now, these fixtures are reaching the end of their life expectancy which is around five decades.
As the piping ages, it is going to break down in terms of structure and stability. With this natural wear and tear, there are going to be leaks, breaks, and other issues that arise. It is projected to be a busy year for plumbing professionals in the copper pipe repair industry.
"Even though copper piping is extremely strong and efficient, everything has a life expectancy. Unfortunately, many buildings that were fitted with copper pipes years ago are going to be reaching the end of the road. We are projecting an increase in repairs and replacements that are going to be necessary," President of Nu Flo, Cameron Manners was reported saying.
Besides the opportunity to repair the copper pipes, many customers are also going to have to option to replace the fixtures. This type of material was once ideal back when it was first put in. However, with today's advancements in technology, there are other, more affordable piping solutions out there.
Some clients are expected to switch all of their plumbing to the newer PEX piping. This is a cross-linked polyethylene tubing that has proven to be high-quality and more affordable. Another benefit of PEX is that it can easily be put in existing walls there is not a ton of construction that is going to be necessary to get the job done.
It is thought that copper is the best when it comes to durability; however, it is also a lot more expensive than what it used to be. Copper piping repairs are still economical but replacing large sections of pipe can be expensive and not very environmentally friendly.
