Homes from the late 1970s through mid-1990s may have polybutylene, a material known for sudden failure. Plumber Works of Grand Rapids handles partial and whole-house repiping across Grand Rapids and Kent County using copper or PEX.
Multiple pinhole leaks in different spots. Rusty water from both taps. Low pressure when multiple fixtures run. Visible corrosion on exposed pipes.
Existing piping is assessed for material, age, and condition. Copper vs PEX tradeoffs are explained. Work is planned to minimize wall openings, pipes are replaced section by section, drywall is patched, and the complete system is pressure-tested.
Repiping work has been completed across Grand Rapids's range of housing, from Heritage Hill Victorians to Alger Heights Cape Cods. Floors and furnishings are protected and communication is proactive throughout.
