How Long Does it Take to Pex Repipe a Home?
The time it takes to repipe a home can vary depending on several factors. Usually the size of the home is what affects the process the most. The underground pipes outside of your home need to be replaced to connect to the city pipes. The pipes inside of your home will have to strategically be replaced also. Finding a specialist who will minimize the repair damages and allow you to live day-to-day life is important.
Plumber vs. Repiping Specialist
As a rule of thumb, you do not want to hire a general plumber to complete your repiping project, although they have the skills to do so. You should not because repiping is not their specialty and thus, do not perform pex repipe projects on a regular basis. Plumbers may even charge more due to their view of the job as being more intricate.
