There are many different types of pipes that work together in your plumbing system. Their lifespans vary depending on the material they are made of:
Supply Lines
Copper Pipes: 70-80 Years
Brass Pipes: 80-100 Years
Galvanized Steel: 80-100 Years
Drain Lines
Plastic PVC Pipes: 25-40 Years
Cast Iron Pipes: 80-100 Years
Damage to these pipes can still happen at any time across their lifespan due to clogs, freezing, tree roots, or weather conditions and need be repaired or replaced. If you live in a very old home and aren’t sure when the last time the pipes were inspected, give us a call for an inspection and we can recommend any replacements that may be needed.
