Hi Kind and Knowledgeable Folks,
We are in the process of getting bids on a whole house re-pipe with PEX. We have 40 year old galvinized pipe in 2 bathrooms and 20 year old copper in another. We are keeping the copper pipes.
Prior to our purchase, our house was raided by the FBI/DEA for being a marijuana grow house. The only thing they left behind is a great skylight in the perfect place to catch a lot of sun that goes into the attic. We think this is where they started their plants.
PEX will be run directly beneath it. In all 3 quotes we received, no one mentioned the skylight and potential UV problems with PEX until we brought it up. 2 people said "The PEX is insulated so it won't be a problem." One said, "Yeah, you'll probably need to cover the skylight."
I'm wanting to know what you guys think.
