Repiping & Pipe Replacement

When Old Pipes Become a Bigger Problem

Homes built before 1970 often still have galvanized steel pipes, which were never built to last forever. Over time, the inside of these pipes rusts and builds up mineral deposits, narrowing the path water can flow through. This shows up as rusty or discolored water when you first turn on a faucet, low water pressure throughout the house, and more frequent leaks at pipe joints. If your home has galvanized plumbing, replacement is not a question of if, but when.

If you're fixing one leak in an otherwise newer plumbing system, a simple spot repair often makes sense. But if you're dealing with frequent leaks, old galvanized or polybutylene pipes, or a system over several decades old, patching one leak is often just a temporary fix. A full repipe replaces the problem at its source and gives you decades of reliable, leak-free plumbing.

Choosing the Right Pipe Material

Copper is naturally resistant to bacteria, recyclable, and holds up well even in earthquake-prone areas, though it costs more. PEX is flexible, more affordable, installs faster with less wall damage, and resists corrosion well, though it isn't approved for outdoor use. We will walk you through both options so you can choose what fits your home and budget.
