Most Widely Used Material on the Market: PVC

With the need for piping on the rise, why not learn a little more about our options? Polyvinyl chloride, or PVC piping, is the most widely used material on the market - and for a good reason.


Becoming popular for home plumbing use in the 1950's, this piping material has some major advantages that has allowed it to shine:

Flexible & durable. Sometimes strength is in the flexibility. PVC is a material that can resist vibrations, water hammering and even earthquake damage.

No rust or corrosion. This inexpensive alternative can help you avoid the problems that come with buildup due to rust and corrosion in copper and steel pipes!

Lengthy Lifetime. PVC is a piping you can count on. When installed properly, PVC can have a lifetime of up to 100 years - almost double that of other piping options.

Budget-Friendly. Both the initial cost and maintenance costs are lower for PVC than other piping options. Sounds like a smart choice to us!
