As plumbing professionals, a question we’re often asked is:
How long should my plumbing system last?
The lifespan of plumbing components will vary based on several factors, such as the type of materials, installation quality, maintenance frequency, and usage.
Generally, manufacturers estimate that plumbing pipes such as copper, CPVC, galvanized, or PEX should last you between 40 and 70 years.
Drain pipes like ABS and cast iron can last up to 80 years.
Plumbing fixtures such as sinks, faucets, toilets, and tubs can last anywhere from 10 to 30 years.
If you have an older home, chances are that some of your plumbing equipment is outdated.
But this doesn’t mean it needs to be replaced!
Your plumbing system won’t just give out at the end of its expected lifespan.
This means that, with proper care and regular maintenance, you can keep your plumbing system running in tip-top shape.
