What Is a Copper Repipe?
A copper repipe replaces your old water lines with new copper pipe. Copper is rigid metal pipe. When installed, its joints are usually soldered. Our copper repiping and whole-house repiping in Orange County have the same scope as a PEX repipe. So you get new lines, new valves, and a Lifetime Transferable Warranty either way.
Which Copper Does Creative Repipe Use?
But not all copper is the same. Copper pipe comes in Types K, L, and M. They differ mainly in wall thickness, so the grade matters. Bob Vila lists wall thickness for three-quarter-inch pipe. Type K is 0.065 inch, Type L is 0.045, and Type M is 0.032. It calls Type K the most durable, while it says Type M costs less.
We do not install soft copper or Type M copper. Instead, we use only USA-made hard copper, in Type L or Type K, depending on the property. In our view, a thicker wall is the better choice because the pipe sits behind your walls.
So why does it matter? Many homes built 10 or more years ago used Type M copper. In our experience, that copper lasts only about 10 years because of the water chemistry. The Type L and Type K copper we install lasts 50 to 70 years. However, pitting has other causes too. Irvine Ranch Water District lists improper installation, faulty grounding, and galvanic corrosion. So we focus on both the copper and the installation.
How Long Does Copper Plumbing Last?
How long does copper plumbing last? The copper we install, Type L or Type K, lasts 50 to 70 years. Today’s Homeownerputs Type L at 50 years or more and Type K at 100 or more. Type M is different. In our experience, it lasts only about 10 years because of the water chemistry.

Copper or PEX-A: Which Is Right for Your Orange County Home?
We install both, so the choice is yours. Copper suits homeowners who prefer a traditional system or have sensitivities to plastic piping. PEX-A is flexible pipe. Our PEX-A pipe and fittings, including the cold expansion connectors, carry a 100-year rating.
