Choosing the Right Piping Material
When the time comes for new piping, you don't necessarily have to replace your pipes with the same material. It may be a great opportunity to upgrade to something different, which may be a more durable and reliable material. At Southside Mechanical Services, we walk you through the choices and help you weigh cost, durability, and performance so you get a system that fits your needs.
Here are some popular piping materials to consider:
- PEX (Cross-linked Polyethylene) – Flexible, affordable, and resistant to corrosion. Ideal for remodels or tight spaces. However, it's not UV-resistant and can be damaged by rodents if exposed.
- Copper – Long-lasting and resistant to bacteria. Great for water quality, but can be more expensive and may be vulnerable to corrosion in acidic water.
- CPVC (Chlorinated Polyvinyl Chloride) – Inexpensive and easy to install, CPVC handles hot and cold water well but can become brittle over time and isn’t ideal for exterior use.
- Galvanized steel (existing systems only) – Common in older homes, but prone to corrosion and buildup. We don’t install new galvanized systems, but we frequently replace them.
Every property is different. We’ll evaluate your setup and help you select the best material for performance, safety, and long-term value.
