Should I replace my 60 year old copper drains?

2 years ago

I am finishing my basement. I’m wondering if I should bite the bullet and swap out the old 60 year old powder room copper drain pipes for plastic while I still have easy access before I wall them up.

From what I can tell the pipes are just fine. No leaks. The vertical run leading to the clean out seems like thinner copper compared to the horizontal runs. When I flick it with my finger it seems flimsier. Not sure if that’s expected or not.

What do you guys think? Change them or leave them?

replace pipes with plastic
leave them, hope for the best
