How do I know if I need pipe replacement or just a repair?

One leak in pipe that's otherwise sound is a repair. Repeated leaks, low pressure throughout the house, rusty water, or old galvanized pipe usually mean it's time to replace.

Is PEX or copper better for repiping?

Both last 50 years or more when installed properly. PEX costs less to install and resists corrosion. Copper costs more, and some homeowners prefer it. The plumber will explain which fits your home.

Can I stay in my home during a repipe?

Yes. Water service is restored each evening during a whole-home repipe, so most families stay home while the work is done.

How much does it cost to repipe a whole house?

A whole-home repipe runs $4,000 to $12,000, depending on the size of the home, how easy the pipes are to reach and the material. Copper costs more than PEX.

Who does the repiping?

The job is done by a licensed, insured plumber we send. They hold their own California license, and your written estimate lists the full scope before work starts.

Repair or Repipe?

One leak in pipe that's otherwise in good shape is a repair job. But when several leaks show up in the same kind of pipe, the rest of it is usually close behind. That's when replacing the line costs less than chasing leaks for years.

PEX vs. Copper

PEX is a flexible plastic pipe. It bends around corners, so it needs fewer fittings and less labor, which keeps the cost down. It also resists the corrosion that eats away at metal pipe. It's now the most common choice for repiping homes in California.

Copper is the traditional choice. It's strong and long-lasting, and some homeowners simply prefer it. It costs more to install than PEX.

Both carry expected lifespans of 50 years or more when properly installed. The plumber will tell you which one makes more sense for your home.

How a Whole-Home Repipe Works

The plumber checks your current pipes and maps out the new lines.
You get the full price and the material choice in writing.
New lines are run and connected to each fixture, one area at a time.
Water is turned back on each evening while the work is in progress.
The new system is tested before the job is finished.

A partial replacement usually takes a day or less. Most whole-home repipes are done in 1 to 3 days. Ask whether patching the wall openings is included in your estimate, since some quotes leave it out.
