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.

Warning Signs

Signs You May Need Repiping

Rusty or Discolored Water

Brown or reddish water when you first turn on a tap signals corrosion inside aging pipes.

Low Water Pressure

Corroded pipes narrow over time, reducing flow throughout your entire home.

Frequent Leaks

Repeated leaks at joints or fittings often point to a system-wide aging problem.

Visible Corrosion

Flaking, discolored, or dimpled pipes in a garage or crawl space show advanced wear.

Home Built Before 1970

Older homes commonly have galvanized or even lead pipes that should be replaced.

Planning a Remodel

A kitchen or bathroom remodel is a great time to upgrade old pipes before walls close up.

Common Questions

Repiping FAQs

How do I know if I need a full repipe or just a spot repair?
A single, recent leak in a newer system is usually fine with a spot repair. Frequent leaks, old galvanized pipes, or rusty water across the home point to a full repipe being the better long-term fix.
Should I choose copper or PEX for repiping?
PEX is more affordable and faster to install with less wall damage, making it the most common choice for whole-home repipes. Copper costs more but holds up especially well in earthquake-prone areas.
Will I be without water during a repipe?
We aim to restore your water service at the end of each work day, even on multi-day projects, so you are never left without water overnight.
Do you handle permits for repiping in El Monte?
Yes. We handle the permitting process required by local building codes so your project stays compliant from start to finish.
Is a burst pipe covered as an emergency?
