There is a brand new process called Pipe relining to remove calcium and minerals from the inside of your piping. This process is not available in every state, nor is it accepted by every code, but it soon should be. You can check with your local Indianapolis plumber to see if this process is acceptable. Pipe relining forces a solution of a grinding compound through the pipes to break loose all calcium and mineral build up. It also forces a solution of epoxy coating into the pipes, which
then seals the inside to protect them from future build up. Currently the cost of this process is just as expensive as pipe replacement, but there is no damage to surrounding walls and floors.
The alternative is to relining is to replace all of your existing piping with PEX or PVC, which is a more expensive endeavor. All walls must be broken open to install the new pipes and the costs can quickly add up. Pipe relining is a great process to take advantage of and is highly recommended.
