Frequently Asked Questions
How do Texas winter freezes cause burst pipes?
When water freezes inside uninsulated attic or exterior wall pipes, it expands by 9%, generating over 2,000 PSI of hydraulic pressure until the metal ruptures.
What is PEX piping and why is it superior to copper?
PEX (cross-linked polyethylene) is flexible, highly resistant to Waco's scale and acidic soil, doesn't corrode, expands slightly to resist freeze bursts, and requires far fewer fittings.
Can pinhole leaks in copper pipes be spot repaired?
Yes! Single pinholes can be repaired with a copper sleeve or short PEX jumper. However, multiple pinholes usually signal systematic internal corrosion requiring a repipe.
