Homes can age gracefully and become true vintage beauties. The same can’t be said for their plumbing. In fact, making updates to the plumbing (along with electrical systems and water sealing) is one of the crucial ways older homes can continue to function.
If you live in a house built before the early 1990s, there’s a strong chance you have some outdated plumbing pipe materials. You can have limited repiping done, or for a house built before 1970, whole-house repiping in Bergen County, NY. We’ll take a look at the types of old pipes you may need to have replaced. If you’re preparing your plumbing for the season, it may also help to turn on your outside water correctly to prevent unexpected pipe issues.
Upgrading Pipes for Water Heater Efficiency
Old or corroded pipes can restrict water flow, reducing the efficiency of water heaters—especially in commercial-grade systems. Replacing outdated piping ensures optimal water pressure, helping both residential and commercial water heaters perform at peak levels and lowering energy costs over time.
Preparing for Future Equipment Installations
Modernizing old plumbing also sets the stage for future upgrades, such as installing tankless water heaters or high-efficiency commercial systems. With the right piping infrastructure, homeowners and businesses can seamlessly integrate advanced water heating technologies without additional costly modifications.
