Do I need to replace galvanized pipes?

Yes — galvanized pipes corrode from the inside, restricting flow and contaminating water. Most plumbers recommend replacement once they reach 50+ years old.

How long does repiping take?

A typical 2-bath home takes 2–5 days. Your plumber will minimize disruption and restore water service each evening.

Is PEX or copper better?
