Have you found that your home constantly requires pipe repairs? Many older homes experience problems from deteriorating and aging plumbing systems. Levittown is a unique case, as almost all homes here were built in the 1950s, as part of an experiment creating the modern American suburb. So, it is likely that if you live in Levittown proper, your home is getting on in years, and perhaps your plumbing system is too.
A more cost-effective plan may be to completely replace your home’s pipeworks through repiping in Levittown from McHales. Repiping is a partial or complete replacement of your home’s pipes and can help alleviate some of the biggest problems posed by a deteriorating plumbing system.
Older homes with old plumbing typically have the greatest need for repiping services due to the materials used in the pipes. Galvanized steel pipes were popular in the 1950s and have been shown to cause issues for homeowners over time. The zinc coating on these pipes eventually rusts, corrodes, and leaches lead into your water supply. There’s a reason why most construction crews and plumbers stopped using this material for plumbing systems in the 1960s, and if you still have your home’s original pipes, you should consider replacing them.
Every home and plumbing system is unique, and you have options on how to proceed given the current condition of the pipes. McHales can help you choose which option is best for you, including:
