What Is Whole-House Repiping?

Repiping means replacing the water supply pipes throughout your home, from the main shutoff to every fixture. Instead of chasing individual leaks, you get a complete system of new, modern piping that’s built to last for decades and meets current code.

Signs Your Home Needs Repiping

Multiple pipe leaks or slab leaks in the past few years
Rusty, brown, or discolored water, especially first thing in the morning
Water with a metallic taste or smell
Low or uneven water pressure throughout the house
Hot water that’s inconsistent or slow to arrive
Noisy, banging, or rattling pipes
Visible corrosion, green or white crust, or pinhole leaks on exposed piping
A home that’s 30+ years old and still has its original plumbing

Pipe Materials That Commonly Need Replacing

Polybutylene

Gray plastic polybutylene pipe was widely installed in Florida homes built from the late 1970s through the mid-1990s. It’s known to become brittle and fail without warning, and many insurance companies won’t cover homes that still have it.

Galvanized Steel

Common in older homes, galvanized pipe corrodes from the inside out. Rust buildup narrows the pipe, drops your water pressure, and eventually leads to leaks and discolored water.

Aging Copper

Copper lasts a long time, but decades of mineral-heavy water can lead to pinhole leaks, especially in lines under the slab. If you’ve had several copper leaks, more are usually on the way.

Your Repiping Options: PEX, CPVC & Copper

PEX is flexible, resists corrosion and scale, and can be routed through walls with fewer fittings and less wall access. It’s the most common choice for whole-house repipes today.
CPVC is a rigid plastic that resists corrosion and works well for many residential systems.
Copper is durable and time-tested, though it typically costs more and can be affected by water chemistry over time.

We’ll recommend the material that fits your home, your water, and your budget.

Our Repiping Process

Inspection. We evaluate your current piping, water pressure, and layout, then explain whether repiping is the right call.
Plan and pricing. You get a clear plan for the pipe material, routing, and timeline before work begins.
Protecting your home. We cover floors and furnishings in the work areas.
New piping installed. We open small, targeted access points in walls or ceilings to route the new lines, keeping disruption to a minimum.
Testing and inspection. The new system is pressure tested and inspected to make sure it’s leak-free and up to code.

Most homes can keep using water for at least part of each day during the project, and we’ll walk you through the schedule ahead of time.

Repiping vs. Repairing Leaks One at a Time

Repairing a single leak makes sense when the rest of your piping is in good shape. But when the piping is failing throughout the house, each repair only buys time until the next leak, and every leak risks water damage to floors, walls, and cabinets. Repiping costs more upfront, but it ends the repair cycle, can improve water pressure and water quality, and adds value when you sell. We’ll give you an honest comparison for your home.

Whole-House Repiping FAQs

How long does it take to repipe a house?

Most single-family homes take a few days, depending on the size of the house, the number of bathrooms, and how the piping is routed. We’ll give you a timeline during your estimate.

How much does it cost to repipe a house?

Cost depends on the size of the home, the number of fixtures, the pipe material, and how accessible the walls and ceilings are. We’ll provide a clear price for your home after the inspection.

Can I stay in my home during repiping?

In most cases, yes. Water is typically shut off only while connections are being made, and we’ll let you know the schedule ahead of time.

Do I need to repipe if my house has polybutylene pipes?

Polybutylene is prone to sudden failure, and many insurers either won’t cover homes that have it or charge more to do so. Replacing it protects your home and can make it easier to insure and sell.

Is PEX better than copper for repiping?

For most Florida homes, PEX is the more practical choice. It resists corrosion and scale, costs less, and requires less wall access to install. Copper is still a solid option in some situations, and we’ll help you weigh the two.

Will repiping improve my water pressure?

If corrosion or buildup inside old pipes is restricting flow, repiping usually brings back strong, even pressure throughout the house.
