Question:

Is PEX really better than copper?

Answer:

Henry Johnson, Plumbing Expert

PEX and copper are both great options for plumbing, but PEX has some advantages over copper. PEX is more flexible and easier to install, which can save time and money on labor costs. It is also resistant to corrosion and freezing, which can extend the lifespan of your plumbing system. Copper, on the other hand, is a more traditional material that has been used for decades and is known for its durability. Ultimately, the choice between PEX and copper depends on your specific needs and budget. Our specialists at 5 Star Best Plumbing can help you make the best decision for your home and provide expert installation, repair, and repiping services for both materials.
