What is the average lifespan of plumbing pipes?
The lifespan of pipes varies based on the material. Copper pipes can last 50+ years, while PVC pipes have a lifespan of about 25-40 years. Regular inspections can help identify potential issues before pipes need replacement.

I recommend scheduling a plumbing inspection at least once a year, especially for older homes. Routine inspections help identify potential issues early and can save you from costly repairs down the road.
How do I know when it's time to replace my water heater?
You should consider replacing your water heater if it’s over 8-10 years old, if you're experiencing inconsistent hot water, rusty water, strange noises, or frequent repairs. I can evaluate your water heater and recommend whether repair or replacement is the best option.
