Whole-Home Repipes in Mercer Island: what's different here
Lakefront homes sit low and close to the water table, and ridge homes have long, steep sewer laterals, so the plumbing approach depends on where the house sits. Older Mercer Island homes in East Seattle and the North End often still have galvanized steel or early copper pipe, which causes low pressure, rusty water and pinhole leaks. We repipe with PEX or copper and patch the access openings.
