🚰 Copper, PEX, or PVC – which is best for your home?

As an Ontario homeowner, choosing the right piping system for your supply and drainage lines can mean the difference between peace of mind and costly repairs.

Supply Lines:

• Copper → Time-tested, highly durable, and resistant to bacteria. Great for longevity, but higher cost and risk of freezing in cold Ontario winters.
• PEX (Cross-linked Polyethylene) → Flexible, easier to install, freeze-resistant, and cost-effective. A modern favourite for new builds and renovations.

Drainage Lines:

• PVC (Polyvinyl Chloride) → Lightweight, affordable, and resistant to corrosion, making it a standard for most residential drains.
• ABS (Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene) → Tougher than PVC and often used in underground or colder applications, but not always code-approved in every municipality.
