: I've been informed that my plumbing system qualifies for a no-cost re-plumb. I've also been told that I have the
: choice of copper or CPVC in the overhead. (My house is on slab foundation). Which type of pipe would
: be best? I know that CPCV would be cheaper and easier to work with in overhead, but would copper,
: although more difficult to install be better? What are the advantages of one over the other from an owner's
: point of view?
