WARNING to All >> there are 2 types of PEX tubing and fittings A & B and from personal experience B has to be upsized by one pipe size ( example all 1/2" lines in copper should now be 3/4" ) because of reduction of diameter at all crimp fittings will cause wear out in as short as 2 years. I have not had the same problem reoccur with USA Made PEX A with it's expansion style fittings . As always get a permit and most pros will usually use Pex A , also most Building Inspectors will call it out if the pipe does NOT rate for the proper fixture Units ( and this not the same as a fixture ) for example a bath uses 4 , kit sink 1.5 , Washer 4.
Lastly I've had more problems with Copper than with PEX A and without doing scientific testing I feel it's due to more aggressive Chloramines in today's water.
Amazing insight and much appreciated, R C!
I see your a responsible homeowner. My old home 1962 vintage, has no leaks. It's all steel and runs well. My meter has not found a leak yet. My area is Sacramento. I'm the cheap guy that would replace one section at a time. I just feel more comfortable doing it that way. Good video from Sacramento
Thanks Robert...homeowner, yes, responsible, maybe. 😂😂 Yes, the older homes are fine...built in the late 90s or early 2000s and there's leaks! I'd try replacing one at a time, but my luck, they'd just keep leaking in new places.
Great! We offer that service too.home inspections, roofing inspections, certificates and declarations.God bless you.
We have the same Viking ovens and range. Excellent products. Like you we got rid of the fridge (rebadged Armana) which was a complete piece of junk. We also got rid of the microwave (rebadged Sharp) and the dishwasher. Good luck with the repiping! We have pex in our vacation home. So far so good.
Thanks for watching! Yes, the Vikings are...we'll replace those at some point, but not yet. Lots more holes cut today! 😂

You mentioned your neighbors having water leaks issues as reason for your proaction. Was homeowners insurance used to cover these cost? Our south Los Angeles home has 60 yo galvanized pipes that are starting to leak. I'm considering copper over PEX for it's durability, especially against rodents.
Homeowner's insurance would be used if there is a leak, but they won't cover a repipe before or after a leak as far s I was told. Yes, copper is more durable against rodents.
Great video, Christian! Are there any recommended repipe specialists down in San Diego? For a three-bedroom, three-bath house half the size of yours, what would be the ideal pricing for a PEX repipe? Thanks!
Thanks for watching! As of right now, I don't have any one for San Diego, but I recommend checking Yelp and getting a few different bids. Seems obvious, but make sure the bid includes patching and painting back to original color.
Christian your home is gorgeous already! Doesn't need a remodel IMHO.... No pipe redo for us because of a condo HOA.
Very much appreciated, Les, just a few cosmetic changes to make. Make sure the HOA stay on top of it if a repipe is needed for the community!
Im considering repipe the house on the slab in Florida . 😮 What is the best option? We do have a rodents are living on the trees😢
Discuss with a couple good local plumbers. Repiping with copper could be the route to go because of the rodents, but they'll be able to give you advice.
Why do you need to get permits?
Better for resale value, IMHO.
Wait until price of copper goes down.
they are not using copper.
they're doing pex
If you want to go with copper, then you're right, but in our area there doesn't seem to be an advantage to copper.
@@WIREassociates what do you put in galvanized?
@@kkp4297 wow ! Interesting
