Call (303) 555-0142When repiping makes sense
A repipe is never the first thing we suggest. When the pipes are truly failing, though, patching them one leak at a time ends up costing more than replacing them. Galvanized steel supply lines, common in older homes, rust from the inside, which causes low pressure and brown water at the faucet. Polybutylene, a gray plastic that was installed in many homes from the late 1970s into the mid-1990s, is known to fail at its fittings. Copper lines that keep springing pinhole leaks are another sign. If you have had two or three leaks in a short time, more are probably on the way.
PEX or copper
PEX is a flexible plastic pipe. It needs fewer fittings, so there are fewer places to leak, and it is quieter and costs less than copper. It also tolerates a freeze better because it can expand. Copper has a long record in homes, handles heat well and stays out of the way of sunlight, but the material and labor cost more. Most local codes allow either, and we install both. We recommend the one that suits your house, your budget and the way the pipes will be routed.
How long it takes
A typical whole-home repipe takes two to five days, depending on the size of the house, the number of bathrooms and how easy the pipes are to reach. We work in stages, and the water is off for part of each day, not the entire time. We tell you the schedule before we start, so you can plan showers and laundry around it. Larger homes and homes with finished basements take longer.
Drywall and clean-up
We run new lines through attics, crawl spaces, basement ceilings and closets wherever we can, and we cut only the access holes we need. After the new system passes the pressure test and the inspection, we patch the access points with drywall, tape and joint compound, ready for you to prime and paint. If you want a finished repair, we can coordinate a drywall and paint contractor, but we always tell you ahead of time what our work includes and what it leaves for you.
Permit and inspection
A repipe requires a plumbing permit and an inspection in most places. We pull the permit, schedule the inspection and stay on site until the work passes. You get the inspection record for your files, and it is a useful document if you sell the house later.

5 out of 5 stars
We had the old gray plastic pipes replaced with PEX throughout the house. They gave us a schedule for the three days, patched the drywall access holes and passed the inspection the day it was done.

Tub drain wouldn't clear after two tries of my own. They cleared it and found a bad pop-up stopper that kept catching hair. Fair price, and the plumber showed me how to keep it from happening again.

A pipe split in the garage during a cold snap at midnight. Someone answered right away, talked me through the shutoff valve and had a plumber here within the hour. Repair was done before breakfast.

FAQ
Whole-Home Repiping questions
How do I know if my house needs repiping?
Low water pressure, brown or rusty water, repeated leaks and known problem pipes such as galvanized steel or polybutylene are the usual reasons. We inspect what you have and recommend a repipe only if repairs will not do.
How long will I be without water during a repipe?
Most whole-home repipes take two to five days. We work in stages so the water is off for part of each day, not all of it, and we tell you the schedule before we start.
