I have a 2 story house, with copper pipes in the slab. I just repaired my second pinhole leak at the slab and I am not doing it again.......
I want to repipe with pvc & cpvc.
My water main comes into the house at the garage. What I am thinking about doing is cutting the main, right after the spigot, bring it thru the garage wall, and straight up to attic. In the attic that is over the garage, I can build a manifold, and pick up the hot water (the water heater is in the garage, so I can run a pipe back down to the tank, and then a pipe back up to the attic) so I can keep my hot and cold water pipes in close proximity of each other.
From the attic I should be able to branch off and get to all the fixtures by dropping into the walls from above. The only problem I see is with the kitchen, since it is on the other side of the house, and there is no attic above it. Just a space large enough to contain the HVAC ducts, and insulation.
I figure I have 2 options.......
1. I can go under the driveway, along the side of the house, and then enter thru a kitchen wall. Or...
2. From the attic, I can run pipes all the way thru that ceiling space and out the soffet. Then down the side (the outside) of the house, and come thru the kitchen wall.
I'm trying not to overthink this too much........
How's this for a first post??? :lol:
