Typical Life Span of Your Home’s Plumbing Pipes

All pipe materials stand the test of time, particularly if they’re installed correctly. An extended life span depends on placement, installation quality, and other factors of wear and tear, but generally, you can expect the following life spans from your plumbing pipes:

• PVC: 50-100+ years
• PEX: 80-100 years
• Copper: 70-100+ years
• Galvanized steel: 40-50+ years
• Cast iron: Up to 100 years

Cast iron and galvanized steel are rarely used for new piping. Rather, they’re removed and replaced with PVC, copper, or PEX. If your home was built before 1950, it’s likely your steel or cast iron pipes have reached the end of their life and will soon cause problems with your plumbing.
