Maria in the energy corridor writes to us. She has a thirty year old house. In the last ten years they’ve had pipe leaks caused from galvanized pipes. Sounds like … TDT pin holes.
Tom:

Charlie:
What’s the best and most reliable way for replacement on this. She is considered PVC pipes, those plastic ones, but she wants to know is that the best option.
Podcast: Play in new window
Tom:
Listen, if you’re going to gut your home, you’re going to remodel your home, you’re going to put new pipe in, you’ll probably use a plastic what we call pex piping today. There’s about fifty-two of them, different manufacturers of them. You can even get into commercial brands, but why don’t you just call Texas Drain Technology? They can sandblast them, reline them, all in place, not touch anything else in your home. They’ll be done in about two days and you have brand new pipes, and as my wife says, “Why don’t we have water pressure,” and brand new water pressure.
