Aging pipes do not fail all at once — they fail repeatedly, one pinhole leak and one patch at a time, until you are spending more on repairs than a permanent fix would cost. If your home still has galvanized steel or polybutylene piping, or your copper is springing recurring leaks, a repipe replaces the whole system with materials built to last decades. We plan the route carefully so the disruption is as small as possible.

What's included

Whole-home repipe

Complete replacement of your home’s supply piping with copper or PEX, planned to minimize wall and ceiling openings.

Galvanized replacement

Old galvanized steel lines that rust from the inside out, swapped for clean, full-flow modern pipe.

Polybutylene replacement

Failure-prone polybutylene (poly) piping replaced — a known liability in many homes of its era.

Repeated-leak fixes

When copper starts springing pinhole leaks, spot repairs only buy time. A repipe ends the cycle.

Section repipes

Targeted replacement of the worst runs when a full repipe is not yet necessary.

Pressure & water-quality fixes

Repiping restores full water pressure and clears the rusty, discolored water that corroded pipes cause.

Frequently asked questions

How do I know if my home needs to be repiped?

Common signs are rusty or discolored water, recurring pinhole leaks, low pressure throughout the house, and knowing your home still has galvanized steel or polybutylene piping. If you are patching leaks every few months, a repipe usually costs less over time than the ongoing repairs. We will assess your system and give you a straight answer.

Should I use copper or PEX?

Both are excellent. Copper is time-tested and rigid; PEX is flexible, freeze-resistant, fast to install, and often less disruptive to your walls. The right choice depends on your home’s layout, your water, and your budget — we will walk you through the trade-offs and recommend what fits.

How long does a whole-home repipe take?

Most residential repipes take a few days depending on the size of the home and number of bathrooms. We plan the work to keep your water on as much as possible and minimize how long any fixture is out of service.

Will repiping tear up all my walls?

No — a well-planned repipe uses targeted access points rather than opening every wall. We map the most efficient route in advance, and we patch the access openings as part of the job so cleanup is straightforward.

Is polybutylene piping really a problem?

Polybutylene piping, common in homes built from the late 1970s through the mid-1990s, has a well-documented history of failing at the fittings and along the pipe. If your home has it, planning a replacement before it fails is far less costly and stressful than dealing with a sudden flood.
