Copper Repiping

Copper repiping is a process of refitting existing pipes in a residence or business. The majority of pre 1970 residences or businesses were fitted with galvanized pipes (i.e. iron pipes coated with zinc) and will eventually require repiping. As galvanized pipes age, the zinc lining tends to erode allowing rust to form. Once galvanized pipes begin to deteriorate, they need to be replaced. Most people prefer to replace galvanized pipes with copper pipes, (thus the term copper repiping) because copper pipe is lightweight, safe and durable, and does not rust. Additionally, because of its flexibility, copper holds up very well during  earthquakes (very common in LA).
