Replacing galvanised steel piping with PEX
Has anyone here had experience with replacing pipework in the home and can share how this went and how much it cost? (Dare I ask?)
I'm in a house built in the early 1970s with galvanised steel pipe. The house was empty for a year before I moved in and I noticed rust coloured water when I ran the taps for the first time, which I guess is not surprising for the age of the pipework and the fact that the house was unused for a year.
Since the pipes will be coming to 50 years of age, I'm wondering whether to replace it now before corrosion becomes a problem e.g. replace everything with PEX or copper.
