Brevard's Trusted AC & Plumbing Pros
Homes built before the 1980s carry timeless charm and character, but behind their vintage appeal can lie a serious and costly issue. Many of these properties utilized outdated plumbing materials, as builders completed them before modern options like PVC and PEX became widely available.
Instead, they rely on aging galvanized steel, cast iron, or even lead piping systems that have long since passed their prime. While these systems may have functioned well for decades, they are now prone to corrosion, leaks, water pressure issues, and, in some cases, contamination.
If builders completed your home or rental property before modern building standards took effect, your plumbing will eventually fail; it’s only a matter of when. At American Air and Plumbing, we offer specialized repiping services tailored specifically for older homes. Our team understands the unique needs of aging structures and brings decades of experience and cutting-edge methods to restore reliability, safety, and comfort to your plumbing system.
Don’t wait for a leak to catch you off guard. Let us replace outdated pipes with reliable, long-lasting materials, all with care that respects your home’s character and your budget.
Pipes installed before the widespread adoption of PVC piping in the late 1970s and early 1980s consist of materials that degraded over time, such as galvanized steel, which rusts from the inside out. Over the years, mineral buildup and corrosion reduce water flow and weaken the pipes’ structure. What starts as minor water pressure issues can escalate into leaks behind walls, slab leaks, or sudden pipe bursts.
Older copper pipes, often installed with outdated fittings or without modern joint techniques, may experience pinhole leaks or joint failures. Even more concerning, some ancient homes may still contain lead piping or lead-based solder joints. These materials pose serious health risks, especially for children and pregnant women, as lead can leach into drinking water over time.
In addition to health and safety concerns, older pipes are unable to meet the demands of modern water use. Dishwashers, washing machines, high-efficiency toilets, and multiple bathrooms put a strain on outdated plumbing. Many homeowners and landlords begin to notice inconsistent water pressure, rusty or discolored water, and recurring leaks. These are all red flags that a full repipe is no longer just an option but a necessity.
Your home is more than just a place to live. For many, it is their largest financial asset. If you are a landlord, your rental properties are a critical part of your income stream. In either case, allowing outdated plumbing to continue deteriorating puts your investment at serious risk.
Water damage from leaks or pipe bursts can cause extensive structural damage, mold growth, and thousands of dollars in repairs. Water intrusion behind walls or under floors often goes unnoticed until the damage is significant. Insurance companies may deny coverage for damage caused by known maintenance issues, especially if past inspections have identified issues with your home’s plumbing.
Aside from preventing catastrophic failures, repiping also increases the value and marketability of your property. For homeowners, updated plumbing improves resale value and can be a strong selling point.
For landlords, modern plumbing means fewer tenant complaints, reduced maintenance calls, and lower liability. Repiping is a long-term investment that protects your property while improving its functionality and appeal. Beat the heat before it beats you.
American Air and Plumbing is a trusted HVAC partner for repiping older homes. We have worked with thousands of homeowners and property managers across the region to update aging plumbing systems with modern materials and methods. Our approach is customized, careful, and designed to minimize disruption while delivering long-lasting results.
We begin every repiping project with a detailed assessment of your current plumbing system. Our technicians inspect pipe materials, look for signs of corrosion or leaks, and evaluate your home’s water use and layout. Based on this evaluation, we provide a clear and detailed estimate that outlines the scope of work, timeline, and materials recommended.
We utilize durable, code-compliant materials, such as PEX and copper, that offer superior performance compared to outdated systems. PEX piping is flexible, resistant to scale and chlorine, and highly durable, making it an excellent option for most home repipes. For homeowners who prefer the familiarity and longevity of copper, we also offer expertly soldered copper repiping.
Our team works with precision and respect for your home. We take care to protect flooring, furniture, and finishes during the process. We minimize wall access points and repair and patch them neatly once the repiping is complete.
Whether your home features a crawlspace, slab foundation, or a unique layout, we tailor our methods to meet your home’s specific needs. Summer’s here, is your system ready?

I had a new air conditioning system installed by American air plumbing on Tuesday, May 19, 2025. My installers were Jordan Tutterrow and Hayden Ledbetter. I spent the most time with Jordan as he did the majority of the install for the inside of the apartment. Jordan was extraordinarily helpful. He was enthusiastic, diligent and cared deeply about how he serviced his customer. Hayden worked the unit on the roof and he was also very good and very helpful. Overall, it was a great experience. They ran into an electrical issues, which were not their fault. It was a problem with my circuit breaker box. Eric Inman was the service technician who also was called out to help with the issue. Eric also went above and beyond. They called other people to help them figure out what was going on. And came up with a great resolution, a far better resolution than we thought was possible. Thanks very much to American, Aaron Plumbing and especially their owner DJ for caring so much about his customers. I would highly recommend them for any job. They will care and they will get it done quickly. Karen Groves2025-05-20Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.
