Signs It's Time to Replace Your Pipes
Age is a very important factor in how effective and safe your pipes are. If you live in a home with old lead or galvanized pipes, it’s time to consider replacement. Similarly, if your pipes repeatedly leak or clog, repiping or repair may be the most cost-effective solution.
Repairs and hydro jetting don't seem to fix the problems
Your pipes are frozen solid
Your water is discolored
Your pipes have begun to corrode or rust
Your water pressure has dropped
Your water temperature changes drastically
Your water tastes odd
Identifying Lead Pipes in Your Home
Lead pipes are mostly a thing of the past, but if your child has recently had a routine test that showed lead exposure or you have suspicions, your worries may be valid. Your house will have had to have been built before 1930 in order to have lead piping, but lead soldering was used up until the 80s. Chances are, if any of your piping is this old, you’ll need to go for a repipe anyway.
Another thing you may want to check concerning lead are your plumbing fixtures. Are they made of old brass? There’s a chance they may a source of lead if so.
How Repiping Can Improve Water Quality and Home Safety
Repiping your home goes beyond preventing leaks or improving water pressure—it can significantly impact your water quality and home safety. If your home has older pipes made from materials such as galvanized steel or lead, there’s a higher risk of contamination and safety hazards. Here’s how repiping can make a difference:
Eliminates Contaminants: Older pipes can corrode over time, releasing harmful substances like rust or lead into your drinking water, which can affect water quality and pose health risks, especially for children and the elderly.
Improves Water Taste: Repiping with modern materials like PEX or copper eliminates metallic tastes and odors, resulting in cleaner and better-tasting water.
Resists Bacteria Growth: Copper pipes are naturally resistant to bacterial growth, ensuring your water remains clean and safe for consumption.
Non-Corrosive Properties: PEX pipes are highly durable and non-corrosive, which means they won’t leach harmful contaminants into your water supply over time.
Prevents Hidden Water Damage: Aging, deteriorating pipes can cause water damage within walls, leading to mold growth and weakening your home’s foundation. Repiping helps prevent these issues, improving the structural integrity of your home.

Comparing PEX Pipes and Copper Pipes
When upgrading your home’s plumbing, two of the most reliable materials are copper and PEX (cross-linked polyethylene) pipes. Both offer significant advantages over older materials like lead or galvanized steel, providing safer and more durable options for your plumbing system. The best choice depends on your home’s needs and budget, and Johnny Doan Plumbing can help guide you through the decision-making process.
Advantages of Copper Pipes
Extremely Durable: Known for its strength and long lifespan.
Weather-Resistant: Can withstand extreme temperatures and exposure to the elements.
Lightweight: Easier to handle during installation compared to older metal pipes.
Eco-Friendly: 100% recyclable, making it an environmentally conscious option.
Benefits of PEX Pipes
Cost-Effective: Typically more affordable than copper.
Flexible Installation: Easily routed through walls and tight spaces, reducing labor time and costs.
Highly Durable: Can expand and contract with temperature changes, minimizing the risk of bursting in colder weather.
Both options offer excellent reliability, and our Central Florida team can help determine which material is the best fit for your home.

"Hands down the best plumber in town"
I've had problems as long as I've lived in this house - I've made calls no less than 3 times this year for backups with my plumbing and it turns out a tree root took out my plumbing and the guys from Johnny Doan Plumbing were finally able to find the problem and resolve it. I've had 3 other plumbers out here for this same problem - and none of them were able to fix it properly, so every other month, when I flushed the toilet, it would back up - and never knew why it kept happening. Glad to know there are pros that know what they are doing - hands down the best plumber in town.

"The most professional plumber that I have dealt with"
My water heater wasn’t producing enough hot water. I was considering getting a tankless electrical water heater.
They came out and examined my heater. He determined that it had been installed incorrectly. I thought I needed a new heater but I didn’t. It was a very simple fix and he saved me a lot of headache and money. This is the most professional plumber that I have dealt with and I highly recommend this company.

"High level of knowledge in plumbing"
We had our kitchen remodeled by Home Depot and they subcontracted to Johnny Doan Plumbing and they did such a good job with the plumbing work that we called them back to provide a quote on several plumbing projects around our 1979 built house. When the guy came out to review the work to be performed, he was very professional and quickly provided a fair estimate on the same day. The guys that came out to do the work called ahead to let us know they were coming and they were both professional and courteous. The work they performed was high quality and showed their high level of knowledge in plumbing. I have to call out Tucker, Austin, and Kyle for the great work they did for us. I would highly recommend Johnny Doan Plumbing.

"He truly cares about his work and his customers"
Jimmy came out to check out my water heater. He explained everything very thoroughly and clearly so that I could understand. This is a very professional company. They sent a professional to come and fix my issue for a very good price. The other companies didn’t even know what the issue was. I had spoken to 4 other plumbers before him and I highly recommend working with Johnny Doan Plumbing. He truly cares about his work and his customers.

"I had a lot of work for them to do and they did it all perfectly"
These guys did a great job. I had a lot of work for them to do and they did it all perfectly. They cleaned up all their debris and trash and took it away, too. Will definitely hire them again.
