Repiping Estimates and Service
There are times in which a home or business is going to require a complete or partial replacement of the plumbing. The truth is that when it comes to repiping your home or business, you are going to want to hire a professional. Repiping is an intricate process and if you were to get this wrong in any way, you are going to have trouble for the remainder of your time in that house or building.
Leaking Pipe Detection and Replacement
Here is an example of a clog in a rotted out piece of cast iron pipe in a ‘kitchen sink branch arm’ that flows to the main drain of the homes drainage network. We had to cut open the existing block wall and replace the pipe with PVC. We then patched the wall, which was to be painted by others:
Reasons for Repiping a Home or Business
• If your existing plumbing consists of any type of lead pipe, it should be removed as this is a serious health risk to anyone who may consume it.
• If you have Cast Iron pipes they may need to be replaced as they could be on the verge of rotting out or have deposits in them that are slowing down the flow of water.
• If there is more than one section of your piping that is leaking, this could be a sign that it is time to rip out everything and fix it once rather than multiple times.
• If you notice that the water is foggy or rusty in color and it takes a while for this to clear up while running.

One of the most common questions we receive is if we will replace the old pipe with the same type of pipe. At Lou’s Plumbing, we replace the pipe in that application based on the FL Plumbing Code.
