I have seen numerous articles and videos taken of census takers marking GPS coordinates of every home in America. Why would the Government need these? I can think of a few reasons and they are all bad. Big Brother just keeps coming after us and taking more and more of our liberties away. Here is an article posted about it..
Check any pipe you can get to. Take a knife and scratch the pipe. It won't take much pressure to see if it's lead and it will scrape the surface off. I would guess it is galvanized steel water pipe and perhaps, some lead drains if the house is really old.
Without seeing the house and where the plumbing is located, it's impossible to even hazard a rough guess. The PVC piping is inexpensive, but you're going to suffer on the labor end. Call a plumbing contractor for an estimate.
Cmon you don't even believe what you're saying right now lol Wilder?? Are you serious? That's bum crusher number one. Besides Stevenson just refused to fight Kovalev a few days ago cmon man. The only guy who can beat Kovalev is Ward and it'd be by decision and yes this was a mismatch. But Kovalev offered Beterbiev a fight in December in Russia and his team refused.
Some of these answers are correct. You can certainly have lead pipe in your home, a new home no but and older home, most certainly. And, PVC isn't the best way to go, it's the cheapest and easiest but, not the best. I went with copper lines all around. I put in one inch and 3/4 inch lines with 1/2 inch take off lines in my home. I can turn all the taps on and have a shower without any cut back on pressure. I did all the work myself with sweat fittings and the figuring.I would get three estimates from a plumber. I just had two plumbers put in a hot water furnace for home heat, for me. It was a circus, I had to show one guy the best way to solder a pipe, he was so inept, I called the company the second day and asked the owner to take him off the job. It took an extra two days when they left. I got a cut because of that and, I knew what was going on.
It is possible, will take time to remove old . Probably the least expensive way to go. What it will cost depend alot on where the pipes are located and how many feet of them you have and how many elbows and connectors you need to buy. Kitchen , bathroom, Laundry,etc, start with one room at a time.
