Whole House Repiping — New Pipes, New Peace of Mind

If your home was built before 1970, there's a good chance it still has its original galvanized steel, lead, or polybutylene pipes. These materials corrode, restrict flow, and eventually fail — causing low water pressure, rusty water, pinhole leaks, and the risk of catastrophic pipe failure.

Whole house repiping replaces every water supply line in your home with modern materials — typically PEX or copper — restoring full pressure, clean water, and reliability for the next 25–50+ years.

Signs You Need Repiping

• Discolored or rusty water, especially hot water
• Low water pressure that has gradually worsened
• Frequent pinhole leaks in different locations
• Visible pipe corrosion where pipes are exposed
• Your home has galvanized steel, lead, or polybutylene pipes
• Home was built before 1970 with original plumbing

Repiping Process

1. Home assessment to map existing plumbing and plan new pipe routes.
2. Material selection — PEX (flexible, cost-effective) or copper (durable, traditional).
3. Old pipes are disconnected and new lines are run to every fixture.
4. Walls are patched and restored where access was needed.
5. System pressure testing and leak verification.
6. Final inspection for code compliance.

Repiping Cost

Whole house repiping typically costs $4,000–$15,000+ depending on home size, number of fixtures, material chosen (PEX vs. copper), and accessibility. PEX repiping generally costs 30–40% less than copper. A 2,000 sq ft home with PEX typically runs $5,000–$8,000.
