The plumbing system is the circulatory system of your Socastee home, quietly delivering clean water and removing waste day after day. Over time, however, these essential pipes can age, corrode, and fail, leading to a host of frustrating and potentially damaging issues. If you're dealing with recurring leaks, poor water pressure, or discolored water, a simple repair might not be enough. At Airight Cooling, Heating & Plumbing Inc., whole-home repiping is the definitive solution to restore your plumbing's integrity, ensuring reliability, safety, and peace of mind for decades to come.

Signs Your Socastee Home Needs New Pipes
Old and failing pipes rarely fail all at once. They usually provide warning signs that indicate a system-wide problem is developing. Recognizing these symptoms early can help you avoid a catastrophic leak and extensive water damage.
Persistent Low Water Pressure
If you've noticed a gradual decrease in water pressure throughout your house, it's a classic sign of aging pipes. Decades of mineral buildup and corrosion inside galvanized steel pipes can restrict water flow, turning your refreshing shower into a disappointing trickle.
Discolored or Rusty Water
Does brown or yellow-tinged water come out of your faucets, especially first thing in the morning? This is often caused by rust and sediment flaking off the interior of corroded pipes. This not only affects the appearance and taste of your water but also indicates that your plumbing is deteriorating from the inside out.
Frequent or Recurring Leaks
Patching one leak only to have another spring up elsewhere is a frustrating cycle. When your plumbing system starts developing multiple leaks, it’s a clear signal that the pipes have reached the end of their service life. Addressing these issues one by one is a costly, temporary fix for a permanent problem.
Aging Plumbing System
The age and material of your pipes are critical factors. Many older homes in the Socastee area were built with galvanized steel or polybutylene pipes, which are now known to have significant issues. Galvanized pipes corrode over time, while polybutylene pipes become brittle and are prone to sudden cracking and bursting. If your home is over 30 years old and has its original plumbing, it's wise to have it inspected for repiping.
Unpleasant Water Taste or Odor
Your water shouldn't have a metallic taste or a foul smell. These undesirable qualities can be caused by corroded metals or other contaminants leaching into your water supply from deteriorating pipes, directly impacting your water quality.
The Long-Term Benefits of a Whole-Home Repipe
Replacing your home's plumbing is more than just a repair; it's a significant upgrade that delivers immediate and lasting advantages for you and your family.

Modern Piping Materials for Lasting Durability
We specialize in using the industry's most advanced and reliable materials to ensure your new plumbing system stands the test of time. We will help you select the best option for your Socastee home's specific needs and your budget.
- PEX (Cross-Linked Polyethylene): PEX is a modern, flexible piping material that has become the industry standard for residential repiping. Its flexibility allows for easier installation with fewer fittings, reducing potential leak points. PEX is also highly resistant to corrosion, scale buildup, and freeze damage, making it an excellent and cost-effective choice.
- Copper: For generations, copper has been the benchmark for durable plumbing. It is highly resistant to corrosion and bacteria, offers extreme longevity, and holds up well against UV exposure and high temperatures. While typically a higher initial investment, its proven track record makes it a preferred choice for many homeowners.
