Professional Copper Pipe Replacement Services in St. Louis
Copper is a very popular choice for pipes among homeowners, plumbers, building owners and even real estate agents. According to the Copper Development Association, about 95% of existing homes are equipped with copper plumbing, and more than 80% of new homes are built with copper water supply piping. Here’s why:
- It has a long lifespan. Copper Tubing can last 100 years or more – that’s longer than you’ll live in your home.
- It’s maintenance-free. Joint fittings won’t break down or pull apart.
- It’s compliant. Because copper is governed by strict standards, it meets or exceeds building codes in all 50 states.
- Copper is rigid and can handle extreme conditions. Copper is not affected by freezing temperatures and can withstand more than 1,000 pounds of pressure per square inch (that’s 10 to 20 times normal system pressure).
- It’s durable. Copper tube and fittings won’t break down with age—no cracking or crumbling years after installation.
- It’s safe. Copper tube and fittings won’t melt, burn or give off toxic fumes in a home fire.
- It’s relatively inexpensive. An all-copper plumbing system costs about the same as others made with less-reliable materials, especially when factoring in repairs down the road.
Did You Know: In houses destroyed by fire, many times the only thing left intact is the copper plumbing (which is why it’s the preferred material for fire sprinkler systems).
