Whole-home repiping
What this service covers
There is a point where repairing supply lines stops making sense. Galvanized steel closes up with corrosion and drops your pressure. Older copper in hard water develops pinholes, and once the first two appear, more follow. A repipe replaces the supply system in one planned project instead of a series of surprise leaks.
We walk the house first, map the runs, and quote a fixed scope: which lines get replaced, where we open drywall, how many days it takes, and what the patching includes. Then we work room by room so you keep water as much of the time as possible.

Common questions
Repiping FAQs
Q. PEX or copper — which should I choose?
PEX installs faster, costs less, resists hard-water pinholes and handles ground movement well. Copper remains excellent where exposed runs matter. We install both and explain the fit for your home.
Q. How long does a repipe take?
Most single-family homes are one to three working days for the piping, plus patching. We give you a day-by-day schedule before starting.
Q. Will I be without water the whole time?
No. We stage the work so water is off only during specific tie-ins, usually a few hours at a time.
Q. Does repiping fix low water pressure?
If the cause is corroded or undersized supply lines, yes, dramatically. If the cause is a failing pressure regulator, that is a much smaller fix and we will say so.
