How do you replace the pipes? What’s the process?

The process starts with an initial consultation where your repipe plumber assesses the condition of your existing pipes. This assessment considers your water quality, as certain types of pipes, like copper, may be corrosive in some areas. We then provide an upfront, ethical estimate with the best options recommended for your specific situation. Once approved, we protect your floors and belongings, remove the old pipes, install the new PEX or copper lines , and then thoroughly test the system for leaks and proper pressure before finishing the job.

Will your technicians help me understand the repiping options available?

Absolutely! Our technicians, like Derek F., are personable and highly knowledgeable. We are trained to explain the issues clearly and present you with several repair and material options, ensuring you understand the benefits and trade-offs of each choice.

Are there financing options for repiping service?

Yes! We aim to make repiping a home accessible and uncomplicated. Our upfront pricing ensures total transparency, and we can discuss various payment options to help manage the investment in your home's plumbing.

Will I have to leave my house for whole-home repiping?

Not typically. For most whole-house repiping projects, you don’t have to leave your home. While there may be temporary periods without water, our efficient team works to minimize disruption and completes the job as quickly and efficiently as possible.

How long will I be without water during the repipe service?

We always want to reduce downtime for you. While the full repiping services may take a few days, the longest period you will be without water is typically only one day or less, which is when the final connections are made to the new system.

Do you offer other materials besides PEX and copper?

PEX and copper are the two most common and recommended materials for modern whole-house repiping. If there are specific code requirements or unique circumstances in your home that require a different material, we will always advise you on the best, safest, and most code-compliant solution.

How much does a repipe service cost?

The total cost of repiping a home depends on the size of your house, the complexity of the job, and the material you select (PEX is typically less expensive than copper). You will receive a clear and detailed estimate after our initial consultation.

PEX or Copper: Which Should I Choose for Repiping My Home?

When we discuss repiping a home, we typically recommend two outstanding pipe materials: copper and PEX (cross-linked polyethylene). Both pipes have their benefits and drawbacks, and our final recommendation will depend entirely on your home's needs, budget, and local water quality.

PEX: Pros & Cons

Pro – It’s generally more cost-effective to install, saving you money on labor.
Pro – The material is flexible and easy to snake through walls and tight spaces, reducing the amount of drywall removal needed.
Pro – PEX is naturally resistant to corrosion, a major issue caused by hard or acidic water.
Pro – It requires fewer fittings, which reduces the potential points for future leaks.
Con – It doesn’t last as long as copper can under ideal conditions.
Con – The flow can be slightly restricted, depending on the type of fittings used.
Con – It’s generally not ideal for exterior or outdoor plumbing.

Copper: Pros & Cons

Pro – It can last much longer than PEX pipes under ideal conditions, providing extreme longevity.
Pro – It’s usually considered a more environmentally friendly material.
Con – It’s more expensive to install due to both material and labor costs.
Con – Copper is subject to pinhole leaks and corrosion from hard water or acidic water.
Con – It’s more prone to freeze and rupture compared to PEX.
