When decorating a new house, it is generally necessary to get the water and electricity right first, so it is necessary to connect the water pipes, circuit wiring, etc., so can the water pipes reserved by the developer be used?What should I pay attention to when installing water pipes in the decoration of new houses?
Whether the water pipes embedded by the developer can be used depends on the specific situation.
On the one hand, there are some large developers whose pipes are of good quality, safe enough and environmentally friendly enough to continue to be used. On the other hand, the quality of the original pipe and the quality of construction cannot be guaranteed, and there are also some problems with the brand of the water pipe, so it is recommended that it be replaced.
If a large number of changes have been made to the layout, the water and electricity will need to be redesigned according to the new layout. At this time, if it is only a transformation, I am afraid it will be difficult to meet the requirements, and even there are too many contents that need to be transformed, so it is better to directly dismantle it to save trouble.
If you buy a small property right house, the acceptance criteria are different from the regular commercial housing, and it is easy to cut corners, you can check the quality of water and electricity by yourself, if the quality is not qualified, it should be all demolished and laid by yourself.
In addition, after determining the brand of water pipes, it is necessary to conduct pressure tests to see if there are any leaks in the original water pipes. At present, the most mainstream water pipe material is PPR, and it is also recommended that the industry mainly use pipes made of this material. If the developer is equipped with a water pipe of other materials, it is recommended to replace it, because once the decoration is completed, it will be troublesome to repair it later. Finally, it is recommended that the owner choose the water pipe, just choose the domestic well-known brand, do not be marketed by the business, and spend a lot of money to choose some so-called imported pipes.
In general, if the budget is sufficient, it is recommended to replace all the original pipes. If the budget is not very sufficient, you can look at what brand of pipe the developer uses, and some large developers use pipes that are still very good.
