I'm trying to make up my mind on whether to use PVC/CPVC, COPPER or PEX to replumb a lake home, need to advice on what's best choice. The home was built in 1978, copper sleeve plumbing is currently in the slab; Recently we had an elect. hot water heater go out, next the breakers for the heater went out, followed at or around the sametime by a water leak under the slab in one of the copper lines to MB sink. Master Plumber we hired, after 3 days of chasing leaks after repairs were made and having to disassemble the MBath said that the plumbing was damaged he believes by lighting. So, insurance accepted that as cause for loss and we are in the process of gearing up to re-plumb. The plumb we used likes Kitec, but I have read all the information about pending litigation on this product. What would you suggest going back with..... The lake house is located in Central Texas (Austin area), in my home, South of Houston we have all PVC/CPVC for last 21 years--no problems.
