If pipes are copper they are likely at least 60 years old and have gone through many freezings during that time. IMO the risk from old copper pipping is overrated for this reason. People talk about copper pipes only being guaranteed for X amount of time, but if a deficiency hasn't been discovered in 60 years, it's likely not there.
Unless there's evidence of corrosion, copper piping can last well over a 100 years. I would never replace it just for the sake of it. Have it inspected, then decide.
