Pipe Replacement in Central Michigan and Lansing, MI metro area

Rust-colored water, low water pressure or frequent clogs? There are many signs that you may need a new pipe system, but it is always best to get a professional inspection to view your plumbing lines. Our reliable technicians will use remote cameras to assess your pipes from the inside, giving you the information you need to make the best choice for your home and family.

How Long Do Pipes Last?

The type of material that your pipes are made of will help you determine whether or not it is time to replace them. Brass, cast iron or galvanized steel pipes can last anywhere between 80 and 100 years. Copper pipes may last between 70 and 80 years, while polyvinyl chloride (PVC) varieties can last from 25 to 40 years. Lead or polybutylene pipes should be replaced immediately no matter their age.

When to replace old pipes?

The best, or most convenient, time to replace your pipes is when you are remodeling your home or the pipes are exposed in your walls or foundation due to other work. If you are completing unrelated projects in your house, schedule a quick inspection from Michigan Plumbing for high-quality advice. When needed, we will work around your remodel schedule to make the best use of your time and ensure all of your projects are finished on time.
