When to Repair vs. Repipe in Ahwatukee
Repair individual failures when the pipe is under 25 years old and this is the first failure. Repipe when: home is 30+ years old with original copper or galvanized, multiple failures in the past 5 years, or water pressure has declined noticeably from corrosion buildup.
