Whole-House Repipe | Licensed & Insured

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

When you're dealing with multiple leaks popping up around the house, water pressure that barely trickles from your faucets, or rusty water coming out of your taps, the problem usually runs deeper than a single pipe. Many homes across Greater Houston still have the original galvanized or copper plumbing from decades past, and when these systems start failing, they fail everywhere at once. Blackmon Plumbing handles whole-house repiping to replace your failing water lines with modern PEX piping that'll protect your home for the long haul.

House repipe makes sense when you're facing frequent leaks in multiple locations, when your water pressure has dropped significantly throughout the house, or when you're seeing discolored water that won't clear up. It's also the smart move if you're renovating an older Houston home and discover galvanized pipes that are corroded from the inside out, or if a plumber has told you that your copper lines are developing pinhole leaks. Rather than playing whack-a-mole with individual repairs, repiping addresses the root cause once and for all.

Our plumbers arrive prepared with the PEX materials and fittings needed to complete most whole-home repipes without mid-job supply runs. We cut controlled drywall access points to run the new lines, then patch and restore the walls when we're done. As a Texas Responsible Master Plumber (MPL-38162), we handle the permit process and ensure the work meets code requirements. Most whole-home repipes finish in 2–3 days, with flat-rate pricing approved before we start cutting into your walls.

When you need us

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.

We handle every aspect of your whole-house repipe from start to finish. Our licensed team follows a proven five-step process that protects your home and delivers permanent results.

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.

2

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.

3

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.

4

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.

5

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.

Offerings

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.

FAQ

House Repipe Questions

How long does a whole-house repipe take?

Most whole-house repipes complete in 2-3 days for standard single-story homes. Two-story homes typically require 3-4 days. We send experienced plumbers equipped to handle most repairs the same day—no unnecessary delays.

Timeline depends on home size, pipe accessibility, and fixture count. We provide exact scheduling during our upfront assessment. One crew. One timeline. Done.

Will I be without water during the repiping process?

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.

Do you repair the drywall and ceilings after the repipe is finished?

We patch and texture all access holes created during the repipe. Our crews arrive with joint compound, texture spray, and primer ready for the repair work. 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.

What is the cost difference between PEX and copper piping?

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.

Our plumbers carry both materials and will recommend the right fit for your home. Your flat-rate quote includes material recommendation based on your home's specific requirements. No upcharge surprises.

Is a whole-house repipe a better option than fixing individual leaks?

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.
