Did you know that over 65% of the homes in Chattanooga still have their original galvanized or cast iron water lines? Well for starters, what is a galvanized water line? Galvanized pipes are steel pipes that have been dipped in a protective zinc coating to prevent corrosion and rust. Galvanized piping was commonly installed in homes built before around 1980. When it was invented, galvanized pipe was an alternative to lead pipe for water supply lines. Today, however, we have learned that decades of exposure to water will cause galvanized pipes to corrode and rust on the inside which contaminates your drinking water. It is absolutely essential to ensure that the loved ones in your home or the customers in your business have the highest quality drinking water available. State-of-the-art, high quality PEX tubing has been proven to last for over 50 years without corrosion, rust, or clogging. PEX tubing is over 50% stronger and provides much better protection against corrosion, making it an ideal choice for long-term use.

PEX, or cross-linked polyethylene, is a type of flexible plastic that is currently replacing traditional copper and galvanized supply lines in both new construction and remodeling projects. PEX lines are durable and long lasting, making them ideal for use in plumbing systems requiring frequent usage or higher reliability.
Galvanized steel is coated with zinc which provides temporary resistance to corrosion from water, but over time the zinc coating wears off causing the galvanized pipe to corrode from the inside causing water pressure issues as well as contaminated drinking water. PEX eliminates all of these issues as well as increasing overall volume and pressure to your home!
PEX tubing is incredibly cost-effective and a more affordable option than copper piping when considering the long-term costs associated with installation and upkeep over time.
The temperature range of PEX tubing is a versatile as any other material with one advantage that separates it from its competition. Copper, galvanized, or PVC will freeze and bust if not buried below a frost line or insulated properly. PEX has the ability to expand and contract making it the ideal material for both extreme hot & cold temperatures and it is almost impossible to freeze/bust and doesn't expand once installed properly.
While both copper and galvanized lines will eventually corrode over time, PEX lines will never corrode and they require virtually zero maintenance due to its chemical makeup.
