When Should You Consider Repiping Your Home?

Repiping is a significant investment, but certain signs make it the smartest long-term choice:

Your Home Has Lead or Galvanized Steel Pipes

Homes built more than 60–100 years ago often contain lead or galvanized steel pipes. Lead can leach into drinking water and poses serious health risks. Galvanized steel is prone to internal corrosion, which restricts water flow and contaminates the supply with rust and sediment. If your home still has these materials, a complete repipe is strongly recommended.

You Keep Fixing the Same Leaks

Repeated pipe repairs become expensive and disruptive. Instead of continuing to patch an aging system, a full repipe replaces the problem once and for all with a modern, reliable system designed to last for decades.

You’re Remodeling

Kitchen or bathroom remodels are the ideal time to upgrade your plumbing. Connecting new fixtures to old, deteriorating pipes often creates future problems at the junctions. Upgrading the water lines during a remodel saves money and headaches later.

You Have (or Suspect) a Slab Leak

A slab leak occurs when a water line under the concrete foundation fails. Signs include:

Water seeping from the foundation
The sound of running water when all faucets are off
A sudden unexplained increase in your water bill
Warm spots on the floor from a hot water line
Previous slab leaks in your home or neighboring properties

In many cases, a comprehensive home repipe is the most reliable solution for recurring slab leaks.

Copper vs PEX – Which Is Right for Your Home?

Copper Piping

Copper has been a trusted plumbing material for generations. It offers excellent longevity, resists corrosion, does not contaminate water, and handles high pressure and temperature extremes well. Copper is recyclable and remains a premium choice for many homeowners.

Types of copper pipe:

Type M (red stamp) — Commonly used for residential interior water lines
Type L (blue stamp) — Suitable for interior, exterior, and underground applications
Type K (green stamp) — Thickest wall; used mainly for commercial, industrial, and underground work

PEX Piping

PEX (cross-linked polyethylene) is a flexible, durable plastic piping system used since the 1980s. It resists pitting, scaling, and corrosion and performs well with both hot and cold water.

Key benefits of PEX:

Flexible and easy to install (fewer fittings = fewer potential leak points)
Resistant to freezing and extreme temperatures
Quieter water flow than metal pipes
Compatible with copper, metal, and PVC systems
Often faster and more cost-effective for whole-home repipes

Both copper and PEX are excellent options. Our technicians will recommend the best material based on your home, budget, and specific needs.

What to Expect During a Home Repipe

Timeline

Most whole-home repipes are completed in 2 to 7 days, depending on the size of the house and number of bathrooms.

Water Service

Water is only shut off while we are actively working. We replace the system section by section so you retain intermittent access from the old pipes as long as possible. There will be a brief period of complete shut-off when the new system is connected. Water is restored by the end of each work day.

Preparing Your Home

Move furniture away from walls and cover it
Secure flat-screen TVs, artwork, and wall hangings
Clear access to the walls where work will occur

Our team works carefully to protect your floors, cabinets, and belongings and cleans up daily.

Permits & Inspection

A plumbing permit is typically required. We handle the permitting process. Once the new pipes are installed and inspected, drywall is repaired so the space can be painted and returned to normal.
