Best Repiping Materials in DFW

When planning a repiping project in DFW, we typically recommend copper, PEX, or PEV piping. Each material offers a unique balance of durability, cost, and installation benefits that can suit different needs. We can review the pros and cons of each pipe material so that you can make an informed decision. 

Copper is a long-standing "gold standard" known for its superior durability and excellent heat resistance. However, it tends to be more expensive than some alternatives. Copper can also eventually corrode and develop pinhole leaks. 

PEX has become a go-to choice for modern plumbing due to its affordability and flexibility. Its ability to expand in freezing conditions makes it particularly well-suited for the kind of unpredictable Texas winters we saw in 2021. This flexibility also lets us run PEX with fewer fittings, which reduces potential leak points and makes our installation faster and less invasive. While PVC is also an inexpensive and corrosion-resistant option, we primarily use it for drain and vent lines because it's not ideal for hot water and can become brittle with age.

When Do I Need to Consider Repiping?

Knowing when to consider repiping is crucial for maintaining your home's value and preventing catastrophic water damage. Recognizing the signs of an aging or failing plumbing system early can save you from costly emergencies down the line. 

We generally recommend you start thinking about repiping when you notice any of these common red flags:

• Discolored water. If you turn on your faucets and see water that looks brown, yellow, or red, it often means rust and corrosion from old metal pipes are leaching into your water supply. This can compromise your family's health and signifies that your pipes are deteriorating from the inside out. 
• Low water pressure. A sudden or gradual drop in water pressure throughout your home can be a sign that mineral deposits or corrosion are building up inside your pipes. This build-up clogs your lines and restricts water flow. While we can sometimes clear clogs, widespread low pressure in multiple fixtures indicates a larger systemic problem that only a full repipe will solve.
• Frequent leaks: If you're constantly calling us out to fix a new leak, it's a strong sign that your entire system is at the end of its service life. These frequent repairs add up and can lead to major water damage if a larger leak or pipe burst occurs.
• Visible pipe corrosion. When we inspect your pipes, we often look for visible signs of corrosion, such as green or white residue on copper pipes or flaking and rust on galvanized steel. This external deterioration suggests that the interior of your pipes is in a similar or worse condition. When we see this, we know the integrity of your plumbing system is at risk.

Additionally, no piping material lasts forever. If your home was built in the 1970s or earlier and still has its original plumbing, repiping is probably necessary.

We are not interested in selling you services you don’t need. Our team at DNA Plumbing Services can carefully evaluate the state of your system and advise whether repiping is in your best interest.

Causes of Pipe Deterioration

While you will typically find failing pipes in older houses, you might be surprised to learn that newer homes aren’t immune to deteriorating pipes. Prompt repairs, proactive maintenance, and adopting best practices for caring for your plumbing can all help extend the service life of your piping.

Multiple factors can impact the longevity of your pipes, including:

• High mineral content in your water
• Improper pressure settings
• Clogs
• Chemical drain cleaners
• Extreme cold weather
