Question by Avery G: What are the issues with copper plumbing in a home built in 1988?
I have a friend who has a home that has copper plumbing. The residence was built in 1988, and she was told by a neighbor that copper plumbing is bad and has to be removed/replaced in order to keep the value of the home for resale. This doesn't seem to make sense and the home DOES NOT have any plumbing issues to date. The neighbor cautioned that copper plumbing can burst. Is there any ring of truth to this or is the neighbor thinking of something else. A home built in 1988 doesn't seem that old to me.
Please help. All answers are welcome. Thanks.
Additional details. Here is the suspected issue:
Different metals or types of pipe: copper and galvanized iron, were directly connected in the potable water supply system
From this point of view, we are told the entire plumbing in the home needs to be changed. Can this be right?
Best answer:
Answer by tim r
If the copper pipe is stressed, it will create a leak, but only if stressed. By this I mean thin wall, kinks, etc.
I have never heard of copper pipes devaluing a home. If anything, copper will add value compared to CPVC or galvanized. If there are no issues with leakage or significant corrosion, leave it.
