Galvanized supply pipe, cast iron drains and lead-era fittings were standard when much of Chevy Chase was built. Repiping replaces aging supply lines with copper or PEX, adds modern shut-off valves, and is easiest during a kitchen or bathroom renovation.
Start with a plumbing inspection. Our guide to professional pipe inspections explains what we check.
