⚠️ Pipes We REPLACE (Not Repair)
Galvanized Steel Pipes
Common in homes built before 1960. Corrodes from inside out, causing low pressure, rust-colored water, and frequent leaks. Cannot be effectively repaired - replacement is the only solution.
Polybutylene (PB) Pipes
Gray plastic pipes installed 1978-1995. Known to fail prematurely, react with chlorine in water, and burst without warning. Subject to class-action lawsuits. Should be replaced immediately.
Lead Pipes
Found in very old homes. Serious health hazard, especially for children. Must be replaced completely to ensure safe drinking water. Some cities offer replacement assistance programs.

Repiping FAQ
How much does whole house repiping cost?
Whole house repiping typically costs $4,000-$15,000 depending on home size, pipe material choice (PEX vs copper), accessibility, and number of fixtures. Average Dallas home (1,500-2,000 sq ft): $5,000-$8,000 with PEX. We provide free detailed quotes after inspecting your home.
How long does repiping take?
Most whole house repiping projects take 2-5 days. Single room or partial repiping: 1-2 days. We work efficiently to minimize disruption. Water is typically restored each evening so you can use your plumbing overnight. Final inspection and wall patching may add 1-2 days.
PEX vs Copper - which should I choose?
PEX is the most popular choice for residential repiping: lower cost, freeze-resistant, corrosion-proof, and faster installation. Copper costs more but lasts longer (50+ years vs 25-40 for PEX) and can handle high temperatures better. For most homeowners, PEX offers excellent value and performance. We'll help you choose based on your budget and needs.
Will repiping damage my walls?
Some wall access is necessary to remove old pipes and install new ones. We create strategic access points, typically in closets and less visible areas. All openings are patched, textured to match, and primed for painting. Most homeowners choose to paint themselves, but we can arrange professional painting if desired. Final result: minimal visible impact.
Can I stay in my home during repiping?
Yes! Most homeowners remain in their homes during repiping. Water is shut off during work hours but restored each evening. You'll have full access to bathrooms, kitchen, and laundry overnight. We protect your belongings, work cleanly, and minimize noise and disruption. Plan for limited water access during work hours (typically 8am-5pm).
When should I repipe instead of just fixing leaks?
Consider repiping if: your home was built before 1980, you have galvanized steel or polybutylene pipes, you're experiencing multiple leaks, water pressure is low throughout the home, water is discolored, or you're planning a major renovation. Repiping prevents future problems and is more cost-effective than repeated emergency leak repairs.
