Is that lead plumbing or galvanized? If so you might need to replace that shit for pvc or alkaline.
It’s a mix of galvanized and cast iron. We typically don’t upgrade anything other than what we have to touch in a remodel unless replumbing the entire house is part of the job. Too big a risk breaking something off with old cast iron pipes so we try not to touch it if possible.
Whatever we do replace and add is typically abs don’t use pvc much because it gets really brittle as it ages, older pvc can crumble in your hands if you’re not careful.
I see you have your trusty "I'll cut through fucking anything saw", nice demo.
I don’t think there is a saw visible in that picture lol. My sawzall is around the corner in the pic, what you’re seeing is a bulldog or sds drill. Used for chipping and drilling concrete.
Thanks either way! 🙏
