Does Your House Need Repiping?
Imagine your home’s plumbing as a network of veins and arteries, silently carrying water throughout your living space. Over time, just like our own bodies, these pipes can weaken, clog, and deteriorate. When they do, they invite a host of.
Signs Your House Needs Repiping
Whole-house repiping is a comprehensive process that replaces all the main water lines within your house with new, durable materials that keep these problems at bay:
- Aging pipes: The most common reason for a whole-home repiping project, the deterioration of old pipes occurs when copper pipes, once the go-to choice for homebuilders and plumbers, develop pinhole leaks or cracks over time. Galvanized steel pipes, used extensively in older homes, are susceptible to rust and can leach harmful contaminants into the water supply.
- Frequent leaks: Multiple, recurring leaks throughout your house are a strong sign that your entire piping system needs an overhaul. Patching individual leaks might offer temporary relief, but eventually, the entire system will likely require replacement.
- Low pressure: Mineral buildup or corrosion deposits on pipes’ interior walls can reduce water pressure. Repiping with wider-diameter materials can improve water flow to all your fixtures.
- Discolored water: Rusty or opaque water indicates internal pipe corrosion and potential contamination. Repiping ensures a clean, healthy water supply.

We’ll see you through the entire process:
- Inspection and consultation: Our plumbing professional will use advanced imaging to assess your home’s plumbing system, identify the type of pipes currently in use, and determine the extent of the needed repairs. This is also the time to discuss various repiping materials and choose one that best suits your needs and budget.
- Locating existing pipes: Your plumber will shut off your home’s main water supply. Using specialized tools, they will locate the existing pipes within the walls, floors, and ceilings. This might involve some minor drilling or cutting through drywall to access specific sections.
- Removing old pipes: The expert will carefully remove the existing pipe, being careful not to damage surrounding walls and fixtures.
- Installing New Pipes: The new pipes will be installed along the same path as the old ones whenever possible to reduce the need for additional cutting and rerouting. Modern repiping materials often come in flexible forms, allowing for easier installation within existing channels. If practical, we may use pipe-bursting techniques that simultaneously remove the old pipe and lay the new. It’s faster and less disruptive.
- Connecting fixtures: All faucets, toilets, and other water-using fixtures will be reconnected to the new piping system.
- Pressure testing: The plumber will thoroughly pressure test the new pipes to ensure they are leak-free and functioning properly. They will also check all fixtures for proper water flow and functionality.
- Clean up: After everything is evaluated and functioning, the plumber will clean up the work area and patch any minor holes or cuts made during the process.
