Common Repiping Services Problems We Solve

Experiencing one of these issues? Our expert technicians can diagnose and fix the problem quickly.

Corroded Pipes

Extensive corrosion throughout your plumbing system indicates pipes have reached end of life and need replacement.

Low Water Pressure

Persistent low pressure throughout your home often indicates corroded pipes restricting water flow.

Rusty Water

Discolored water from multiple fixtures indicates internal pipe corrosion contaminating your water supply.

Frequent Leaks

Multiple leaks occurring in different locations suggest system-wide pipe deterioration requiring repiping.

Old Galvanized Pipes

Galvanized pipes installed before 1970 are likely corroded inside and should be replaced with modern materials.

Pinhole Leaks

Small leaks appearing in copper pipes indicate pitting corrosion that will continue to spread.

Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about repiping services

Costs depend on home size, number of fixtures, and material choice. PEX repiping typically costs $5,000-$10,000, while copper runs $8,000-$15,000+ for an average-sized home. We provide free detailed estimates.
Most whole-house repipes take 2-4 days to complete. Day 1 involves opening access points, day 2-3 is pipe installation, and the final day includes testing and wall patching. We minimize disruption to your daily routine.
We minimize wall openings and repair all access points as part of our service. We cut small, strategic access holes and patch them when complete. We don't paint—that's typically left to homeowners or painters.
Both are excellent choices. Copper has a longer track record (50-70 years) and better resale perception. PEX costs 20-30% less, installs faster, and has a proven 40+ year lifespan. We can discuss which is right for your situation.
Signs include: galvanized or polybutylene pipes, rusty/discolored water, multiple leaks or repairs, low water pressure throughout the house, and pipes over 40-50 years old. We can inspect and advise.
Polybutylene (PB) is gray plastic piping installed from 1978-1995. It's prone to failure due to reactions with water treatment chemicals. Insurance companies often won't cover homes with PB pipes. Replacement is strongly recommended.
Yes! Repiping requires permits in Florida. We handle all permit applications, schedule inspections, and ensure your repipe meets code requirements.
