Why Westland's build era matters for repiping
With a housing stock built mostly between the 1950s and 1980s, Westland has a wide spread of original supply-line materials — from earlier galvanized steel in the oldest sections near Norwayne to copper in later ranches. A repiping scope should confirm what's actually running through the walls before pricing a whole-house replacement, since partial galvanized runs are a different job than a full copper-to-copper swap.
