What is involved in repiping my house?

Repiping involves replacing old water lines with new PEX or copper pipes. This includes cutting small access holes, removing old lines, installing new ones, and patching the walls with minimal disruption. The process typically takes one to three days for most homes, depending on size and plumbing layout.

Can I repipe my own house?

While some small plumbing projects are DIY-friendly, repiping a house isn’t one of them. It requires code compliance, extensive knowledge of water pressure systems, and specialized tools. Hiring a licensed repiping company ensures your plumbing is installed safely and correctly.

Does repiping increase home value?

Yes. Repiping not only improves your home’s water quality and flow but also boosts resale value. Buyers see updated plumbing as a major long-term benefit—especially in older Columbus neighborhoods.

Does my home warranty cover repiping?

Our home warranty might include repiping if the issue results from normal wear and tear. However, most plans do not cover whole-home repiping because it’s viewed as a preventive or non-emergency upgrade rather than a repair due to accidental damage. Review your warranty agreement or contact your provider to confirm what’s covered. Check your warranty terms or call for clarification.

Do I need to move out during the repipe?

Usually, no. Most homeowners stay home during the repiping process. Technicians work in sections to keep the household functioning, minimizing downtime and disruption.

Will I be without water? If so, for how long?

You’ll only be without water for part of the installation—typically a few hours per day. Our team schedules water shutoffs strategically, allowing you to plan ahead. We will restore service as quickly as possible after testing the new pipes.

Experienced Whole-House Repiping Company Near You

Have you noticed rusty water, frequent leaks, or low water pressure? These are signs your home’s plumbing may be due for repiping. Older Columbus homes—especially those built before the 1980s—often have galvanized pipes that corrode over time, leading to leaks and water quality issues.

Whole-house repiping replaces outdated lines with modern, durable piping to restore your home’s plumbing reliability. It’s a major project—but when handled by the right repiping plumber, the process is efficient, transparent, and leaves your home’s plumbing better than new. Mr. Rooter Plumbing of Columbus offers professional repiping services throughout the Greater Columbus area, providing same-day scheduling, clear communication, and guaranteed workmanship from experienced and respectful technicians.
