Whole-House Repiping Services
Whole-house repiping to replace failing galvanized or copper pipes with modern PEX.
Old plumbing doesn't last forever. If you're experiencing persistent issues, it might be a sign that your entire system is failing. Watch for these common warning signs:
House Repipe — What Every Homeowner Should Know
Signs You Need a Whole-House Repipe
Frequent or Multiple Leaks — When repairs become routine, the pipe material itself has deteriorated beyond spot fixes.
Low or Fluctuating Water Pressure — Mineral buildup and corrosion restrict flow throughout your system. New pipes restore full pressure.
Discolored or Rusty-Looking Water — Brown or orange water indicates pipe corrosion contaminating your supply. We replace the source.
Foul Smelling or Tasting Water — Metallic tastes and odors come from deteriorating pipe interiors. Fresh lines eliminate contamination.
Visible Corrosion on Exposed Pipes — Surface rust signals internal breakdown. What you see outside reflects worse conditions inside.
Your Home is Over 40 Years Old with Original Galvanized Pipes — Galvanized steel corrodes from within. We carry modern materials for permanent replacement.
Our Complete House Repipe Process
Initial Consultation and System Assessment
We start with a thorough inspection of your existing plumbing to identify the material, age, and extent of deterioration. Our MPL-38162 Texas Responsible Master Plumber evaluates your entire system.
Home Preparation and Protection
Before we begin, our team carefully preps your home. We lay down protective coverings on floors and furniture in all work areas.
New Pipe Installation
Our licensed plumbers strategically access your walls to remove the old, failing pipes. We install new, high-quality PEX or copper piping using professional-grade fittings and connections.
System Connection and Pressure Testing
Once the new pipes are in place, we connect them to your fixtures and main water supply. Every joint is properly secured and sealed.
Wall Restoration and Final Walkthrough
After the plumbing is complete and tested, we professionally repair any drywall we accessed. We match texture and prepare surfaces for painting.
Modern Piping Materials for Your Home
PEX (Cross-linked Polyethylene)
Flexible, durable, and corrosion-resistant plastic piping that is the modern standard for residential repipes. We install PEX systems faster with fewer joints than traditional materials. Cost-effective and less invasive to install—we route through existing pathways without major demolition.
Copper
Traditional, long-lasting material known for its durability and natural resistance to bacteria. While more expensive, copper delivers reliable performance for decades. We carry Type L copper and professional-grade fittings for permanent installation that meets Texas plumbing codes.
Hybrid Solutions
Strategic combination of PEX and copper materials optimized for specific areas of your home's plumbing system. We use copper for main lines and exposed areas, PEX for distribution lines and tight spaces. This approach maximizes performance while controlling costs—engineered by our MPL-38162 Master Plumber.

House Repipe Questions
Most whole-house repipes complete in 2-3 days for standard single-story homes. Two-story homes typically require 3-4 days. We dispatch crews with all materials staged in our mobile warehouse—no waiting for parts deliveries.
Timeline depends on home size, pipe accessibility, and fixture count. We provide exact scheduling during our upfront assessment. One crew. One timeline. Done.
We maintain water service to at least one bathroom and kitchen sink throughout the project. Complete shutoffs last only 2-4 hours during main line connections. We schedule these interruptions with advance notice.
Our crews carry temporary bypass equipment when extended shutoffs become necessary. You keep essential water access while we install your permanent solution.
We patch and texture all access holes created during the repipe. Our crews carry joint compound, texture spray, and primer in every mobile warehouse. Wall repairs complete before we leave your property.
Paint matching requires separate scheduling—we provide primer base for your painter. Permanent repair includes structural restoration, not cosmetic finishing.
PEX installation runs 30-40% less than copper for material and labor combined. PEX resists freeze damage and installs faster through existing walls. Copper offers longer lifespan but requires more access points.
We stock both materials in our circulating inventory. Your flat-rate quote includes material recommendation based on your home's specific requirements. No upcharge surprises.
Homes with 2+ major leaks in 18 months typically need complete repiping. Patch repairs on aging galvanized or polybutylene systems create temporary fixes—not permanent solutions. New leaks develop faster than repairs.
Our diagnostic assessment identifies pipe material, age, and failure patterns. We recommend repipe when repair costs exceed 60% of replacement value. One permanent solution beats endless service calls.
