Emergency Plumbing Repairs or Kitchen Sink Piping...Use PEX over Copper

We recently did an emergency assist to a homeowner
with a sudden burst copper pipe (not our doing) in
a wall cavity. The culprit ? A fifty year old corroded
copper pipe bursting at a t junction where a weak
solder was placed. This IS FAR TOO COMMON FOLKS,
and is the reason you should shut your main water off at
the service line when you leave your house unoccupied
for 2 or 3 days. These copper pipes DO NOT LAST 100
years, especially the Chinese made kind. !

PEX is faster, lighter, tighter, less expensive and is easy
to route through studs and walls. Sharkbite is an excellent
quick grip valve fitting manufacturer and is making
innovations that far outweigh traditional copper...visit at

The good news is the homeowner was able to remove
the flooded water via a floor drain in basement that
was in good working order, a hydraulic lift pump supplied
by us (I'm a pool owner and have 2 of them) and wet
shopvac.

If you are rerouting kitchen piping - USE PEX ..its far
better than copper...you'll thank us down the road for
the decision. !!!
