What Is Happening To Our Copper Pipes?

The leading name in the plumbing industry explains why copper pipes might need attention
 
We are all familiar with the good old copper pipe structure you’ll often find in place to distribute water from any heating source. As copper is a fantastic conductor of heat and is highly corrosion-resistant, it has been the preferred pipe choice since the 1960s to distribute hot water. It is why you’ll find many homes across the nation that now are in desperate need of replacing these pipes. When copper pipes became the preferred option to fulfill this role in your plumbing system, everyone believed that these pipes would last a lifetime. However, after 40 to 50 years of use, they reach a point of deterioration where you can no longer put off attending to your pipes. The team at Nu Flow Technologies has more than two decades of experience in caring for not only copper but indeed all kinds of piping solutions. Thus, they are the experts providing us with the reasons why you should have someone check out your copper plumbing.

“Copper has many beneficial properties, and it is why it is such a preferred option to rely on for especially hot water distribution. It is resistant to bacteria, durable, tolerant to earthquakes and even fire. Yet, it can give water a metallic taste and corrode when exposed to acidic water for extended periods. It is also important to take note of the fact that copper pipes are rather expensive. The main concern comes into play when the acidity of your water caused the interior surface of your copper pipes to deteriorate to a point where small holes present themselves in the surface, causing your pipes to leak,” says Cameron Manners, the president of the globally recognized name in the plumbing industry.

Manners then further expand on how clients often rely on their advanced solutions in copper pipe repairs due to leaks caused by high pressure in pipes. The pressure in these pipes creates erosion that weakens the structure and eventually causes a leak under the pressure of the water.

“Old water heaters are another concern to copper pipes. Even if you have new pipes and an old heater, bits of corrosion coming off from the surface of your heater get into your pipes and get stuck onto the surface. Here it causes further erosion that can result in leaks,” Manners continues.

Manners and his team at Nu Flow Technologies have all the advanced solutions you might need for affordable and non-invasive plumbing solutions you can rely on.
