How do I know if my house needs repiping?

Signs that repiping is needed include rusty or discolored water, frequent leaks in different locations, low water pressure throughout the house, visible corrosion on exposed pipes, and pipe material that's known to fail (galvanized steel, polybutylene). If you're fixing leaks repeatedly, repiping is usually more cost-effective than continued spot repairs.

What is PEX piping and why is it preferred for repiping?

PEX (cross-linked polyethylene) is a flexible plastic piping that resists corrosion, scale buildup, and freezing. It's faster to install than copper because it bends around corners without fittings and requires fewer wall openings. PEX is code-approved, durable, and costs less than copper. It's become the standard for residential repiping.

How long does whole-house repiping take?

A typical whole-house repipe takes 2-4 days depending on the size of the home, number of fixtures, and accessibility of the pipes. We work systematically through the house, and water is usually restored to working areas by the end of each day. Wall patching and painting are included and may add a day.

Will repiping damage my walls?

Some wall openings are necessary to route new pipes, but we minimize them by using PEX's flexibility to run through existing paths. All openings are patched and painted as part of our repiping service. The patches are finished to match your existing walls. Most homeowners are surprised how little disruption is involved.

Can I repipe just part of my house?

Yes. Partial or section repiping addresses the most problematic areas first — typically the hot water lines, which corrode faster. This can be a good option if budget is a concern. However, if the remaining old pipes are the same age and material, they'll likely need replacement soon too. We'll give you honest advice on the best approach.

Will repiping improve my water pressure?

If your low pressure is caused by corroded or restricted pipes (common with galvanized steel), repiping will dramatically improve your water pressure. New PEX or copper pipes have smooth interior walls with no corrosion or buildup, allowing water to flow freely. Many homeowners say the pressure improvement is the best part of repiping.
