Repiping & Pipe Relining
Pipe lining and pipe relining are perhaps the biggest breakthroughs in home plumbing technology in the past 50 years. With the new CIPP (Cured In-Place Pipe) processes, plumbers are able to repair damaged pipes without damaging your property. This means no destruction, demolition or damage to flooring, walls, driveways or sidewalks. Pipe lining is a standard process throughout the residential plumbing industry, meaning homeowners can save money after a plumbing project they would have spent hiring a carpenter to repair the damage to the house.
Hub Plumbing & Mechanical can use pipe relining services to repair clay, PVC, and cast iron piping, which over time can deteriorate and leave breaks and leaks. With this new technology, most Boston pipe lining jobs can be completed in a single day, and your home is left clean and damage free. Hub Plumbing & Mechanical specializes in pipe relining.
Why Re-Pipe?
Repiping typically involves the complete replacement of the water distribution pipe system in your home, including pipes, pipe fittings, stop valves, and supply lines. While the process takes about 3 days, water is only unavailable for a few hours on the last day, ensuring the least interruption to your life possible. Re-piping could be an option to consider, depending on the type of pipes you currently have. Galvanized or polybutilene plumbing is susceptible to clogs, leaks and breaks, most of which are caused by corrosion.
Warning Signs:
- Low water pressure
- Rusty water
- Leaky pipes, leaks in foundation
- Water running even when faucets are closed
- Unusually high water bills
Benefits of Re-Piping
- Clean clear water (no rust or odor)
- Increased water pressure
- Stable water temperature when using multiple faucets simultaneously
- Sound investment in your home
- Increased property value

If you are thinking of updating your pipes and drains, copper piping is the most durable pipe and is generally guaranteed from the manufacturer for fifty years.
