Comprehensive Repiping Services

Q: How do I know if I need a full repipe or just a simple repair?

A: If your problems are isolated (e.g., a single small leak in an accessible pipe), a repair may suffice. However, if you experience recurring leaks, persistent low water pressure throughout the house, or rusty/discolored water, it indicates a system-wide failure, especially with galvanized pipes. In these cases, whole-house repiping is the only permanent solution. We offer an inspection to accurately diagnose the extent of the corrosion.

Q: How long does a whole-house repipe typically take?

A: While every home is different, the actual plumbing work—replacing and connecting all the new lines—typically takes our crew 3 to 5 days for an average-sized residential home. We work efficiently to minimize the time your water is shut off. We handle all planning and patching, ensuring the entire process is completed as quickly and cleanly as possible. Q: Will repiping involve tearing up my entire house?

A: No. Our professional repiping techniques are designed to be as non-invasive as possible. We use strategic, small access points in walls and ceilings to run the new pipes. We do not tear out entire walls. We include a professional patching service after the plumbing work is complete, leaving the areas ready for final paint or finishing.

Q: What is the main difference between PEX and Copper and which should I choose? A: Copper is durable, rigid, and has a longer lifespan (50+ years). PEX (cross-linked polyethylene) is more flexible, cheaper, quieter, highly corrosion-resistant, and easier to install, resulting in less wall damage. We discuss the pros, cons, and budget of PEX vs. Copper during your free repipe estimate to help you choose the best material for your budget and home structure.

Q: Will a repipe solve my low water pressure problems?

A: Yes, in nearly all cases. Low water pressure is commonly caused by scale and rust buildup inside old galvanized or corroded pipes, which significantly restricts water flow. By replacing these narrow, compromised lines with smooth, new PEX or Copper piping, we eliminate the blockage and restore water pressure to its proper, strong levels throughout your entire home.
