Repiping Your Home
What Does a Repipe Job Include?
Repiping a house can be costly, so it’s important to know whether you truly need it. Sometimes, low water pressure or other issues can be fixed with a simple repair or by replacing a single section of pipe. But when a full repipe is necessary, it’s a common job—and one we have extensive experience handling.
​
Pipes naturally wear down over time, so if your home is 50 years old or more, or if you're seeing signs of aging pipes, it’s smart to have a licensed plumber inspect your system.
If your home has lead pipes, a whole-house repipe is essential for health and safety. Copper pipes can also deteriorate or clog with sediment and eventually need replacement.
While repiping may seem like a big project, addressing it early can prevent far more expensive problems—like burst pipes and major water damage.

The biggest factor to consider with repiping is cost. Even skilled DIYers still need a full inspection of the existing plumbing, plus the right materials and tools. If your pipes are still in good shape, repiping may not be the best investment right now.

If you choose to repipe your home, cross-linked polyethylene (PEX) has become the new industry standard.
