Although galvanized piping is no longer used in new construction today, many New Orleans homes still have the original galvanized pipes. The two most common problems with these and other older pipes are lime deposits and rust, which corrodes a pipe's interior lining. As a result, particles of rust, zinc and other contaminants can flow in your drinking water.
Stuart plumbers can diagnose your water problems quickly and efficiently. We understand modern plumbing systems and will offer you options and pricing upfront for water line repairs, so you can avoid costly mistakes and get back to your daily routine.
Not only are the contaminants found in rusty pipes dangerous to your health, but these particles can clog your pipes, or slow and even stop the flow of water to your fixtures. Clogged water lines are a nuisance, and can impact your quality of life by reduced water pressure through shower heads, tubs, dishwashers and any other water-driven appliances.
Copper Pipes
The most common water piping material used in recent years is copper, due to its strength, reliability and resistance to corrosion. However, copper will burst if left exposed in freezing temperatures. Therefore, if you have copper pipes exposed in your attic under a raised house or in un-insulated exterior walls, you should take steps to insulate these pipes.
PEX Pipes
“PEX” (cross-linked polyethylene) is a relatively new piping system that resembles the material used in garden hoses, but is stronger and much more reliable. PEX is resistant to bursting when exposed to freezing temperatures because it can expand and contract. Plus, it's a low-cost alternative to copper. Though it was introduced to the United States in the 1980s, PEX has been used in Europe since the 1960s.
