Copper Repiping in Mammoth Cave, KY

Some homeowners want copper and nothing else. It handles heat, it lasts for decades in friendly water, and it is easy to inspect where it runs exposed in a basement.

SPB Hydro Plumbing connects Mammoth Cave, KY homeowners with plumbers who repipe in copper. Inside the house, Type L is the heavier wall and the usual pick for a full repipe. Type M is thinner and cheaper, and some local codes limit where it can go. Joints are soldered with lead free solder or made with press fittings, which need no open flame inside finished walls.

Copper does have one weakness: aggressive water. Low pH, high chlorine or chloramine levels can pit the pipe from the inside and cause pinhole leaks. If your house already had pinholes in copper, a water test before the repipe helps you decide between copper and PEX.

Copper costs more in materials and labor than PEX. Call SPB Hydro Plumbing at (866) 335-0301 to compare both for your copper repiping.

Water line replacement FAQs

Questions about water line replacement and whole house repiping

Questions we hear most often about Copper Repiping in Mammoth Cave, KY.

Talk to a person
Is PEX or copper better for repiping?
PEX costs less, needs fewer wall openings and does not corrode. Copper handles heat well and lasts in friendly water but can pit in aggressive water. Many homes with past pinhole leaks choose PEX.
How do I check for a lead service line?
Find the pipe where it enters the house near the meter or main valve. Lead is dull gray, soft, scratches to shiny silver with a key, and a magnet will not stick. Your water utility may also have a record of your line material.
Will my walls be torn up during a repipe in Mammoth Cave, KY?
No. Plumbers cut small access holes where pipes turn or connect, then patch, tape, mud and texture them. Closets and cabinet backs are used where possible.
Why is my water pressure low only in some rooms?
When pressure is fine at the hose bib but weak upstairs or at one fixture, rust scale inside galvanized pipe is the usual cause. A gauge test and a check of the pressure reducing valve come first.
Should I replace my main shutoff valve during a repipe?
Yes. An old gate valve often seizes or fails to close fully. A full port quarter turn ball valve is a small addition to a repipe or water line replacement job.
