Repiping in Des Moines: what is different here
Many mid-century homes in Des Moines, from Zenith to the Marina District, were plumbed with galvanized steel or early copper. On hillside lots above Puget Sound, low pressure on the upper floor can be a sign the old pipe is narrowing. We drive I-5 north, about 35 minutes, and quote a PEX repipe at a flat rate.
