    There was a time when almost everybody used to install lead water pipes in their homes. We all know how that turned out to be. Lead water pipes presented a plethora of problems. Their disadvantages far outweighed any advantage that they had. Luckily, today there are a number of options available in the market. Today you can buy copper water pipes, pipes made from bronze and pipes made from galvanized iron. Another new entry in the material for pipes is plastic. A lot of people are today deciding in favor of plastic water pipes instead of metallic water pipes. In this article we will inform you about the advantages of installing plastic water pipes and we will tell you why they are gaining more and more popularity amongst homeowners.

    • Plastic pipes do not rust:

    Rusting of copper and iron pipes is perhaps one of the most common plumbing problems that homeowners face. Over the time, due to minerals present in the water, the metallic pipes start to rust. This rust, along with the minerals present in the flowing water, often gets deposited in the pipes and become a reason for your plumbing problems. Plastic pipes completely negate this problem of rusting. Since plastic is a non-biodegradable material, it never rusts.

    • Plastic pipes can be made joint free:

    The more no of joints you have in your pipe line, the more are the chances of leakage. At any point where you need to change the path of the pipeline, there is no option but to use a joint. Even though these joints can be sealed and they offer a modular structure that allows the plumber to replace only the affected pipe of the pipeline, still having a lot of joints in your pipeline is not a good situation at all. The joints tend to loosen up as the seasons change. During winters the metal shrinks while in summers it expands and this change affects the joints. In sharp contrast to this, plastic allows the construction of a single joint less pipe. Since plastic is non biodegradable, you won’t face any issues such as water leakage and lose joints anywhere in near future.

    • Plastic pipes are highly durable:

    Again, the non biodegradable nature of plastic becomes a quality in this case too. Plastic water pipes can be expected to last at least 50 years or more. In some cases they can even last for more than a century. If your water supply is free from any degrading chemicals, then be assured that your pipeline will stay in good health for a long period of time. Another benefit is that since plastic doesn’t degrade on its own, when you decide to replace your existing plumbing setup with a new one, you can actually recycle the plastic pipes. You can use them in your garden or for any other purpose that seems fit to you. You can even sell them so a recycling store that accepts plastic as a waste. Even though it won’t get you a lot of money but still you will get enough to make you understand the importance of the recycling process.
