I replaced my kitchen sink about a year ago and noticed my galvanized pipes completely shut. I still have decent water pressure at that sink (bathroom hot is a fast trickle). I am now planning on replacing the whole system. All my water pipes are galvanized, and the water main comes in through the floor in the basement to the meter to the house.
Where do I start with the new pipes? Do I start above the meter or should I have the city come out and see if they should replace the meter? I am pretty confident I can complete the job, just need a starting point.
Also, thinking about using CPVC for the new lines, copper would be nice but too expensive right now. Any problems with CPVC?
