Pex is semi flexible which allows for long continuous runs through joists and studs.
Run water pipes in the attic ontario.
When i turn the water on water gushes up from the crack adjacent to a pipe coming up through the slab.
Need to get a hot water line from one end of the house to the other in a ranch with a concrete slab.
One at the manifold and another at the fixture end.
My plan is to run pex thru the attic below the insulation.
No interior walls to use either.
The simple solution is to dig up the insulation run the pipes along the top of the ceiling drywall ie just above the ceiling rather than just below it and put the insulation back on top of them which puts them on the warm side of the insulation inside the home thermally speaking also to be a lot more careful when hiring plumbers.
Water line would run over the top of the 2x4 bottom truss cord and i would create a tent over pipe so there was no.
I think that the pipe is connected to the water main.
Cost to repipe a mobile home.
I m going to get a jackhammer to get into the slab.
It wouldn t hurt to insulate the pipes with foam pipe insulation before the pipes are buried needless to say if you find the work daunting you should call a plumber.
Pipes do run under houses many times in concrete.
Any pipe trough to the attic it call ventilation pipe they are design to pressurize the drain system and exit of the bad gases by entry of the air trough to those pipe water in drain pipe will go.
It is quite common to leave the old pipes in place after disconnecting them.
This system uses more tubing but is fast and only requires two connections.
It is also important to run the pipe as low in the attic as possible to provide heat from the ceiling below.
I strongly suspect the water main is the same.
Depending on the style of your home the pipe can be installed in the attic or under a crawl space.
While i was under the floor i noticed all the pipes were galvanized steel.
Cedric in your climate plumbing pipes can be installed in an attic as long as the pipes are installed under the insulation layer.
If possible run it under the attic insulation for an added layer of protection.
The new pipe is simply installed in the path of least resistance.
