Water Line Repair & Whole-House Repiping

Aging galvanized pipe corrodes from the inside out. We repipe with copper or PEX and repair water line leaks — indoors or underground — without tearing your home apart.

Water Line Repair & Whole-House Repiping: What's Included

Homes built before the 1980s often still run on galvanized steel pipe, which corrodes and narrows over decades, leading to rusty water, low pressure and eventual leaks. We repipe with modern copper or PEX, routed cleanly through walls and crawlspaces with minimal drywall disruption — like the in-wall repipe pictured here.

Not every job needs a full repipe. When it's a single failed section — an exterior shut-off valve, a slab water line, or a joint that's started weeping — we repair just that section instead of replacing the whole system.

Signs You Need This Service

  • Rusty, discolored or metallic-tasting water
  • Noticeably low water pressure throughout the house
  • Frequent pinhole leaks in different spots
  • Visible corrosion on exposed galvanized pipe
  • Home is 40+ years old and has never been repiped

Our Process

How We Handle It

1

Whole-System Assessment

We inspect accessible piping and water pressure to determine whether you need a full repipe or a targeted repair.

2

Material & Route Plan

We choose copper or PEX and map the cleanest route through walls, attic or crawlspace.

3

Repipe or Repair

New lines go in with minimal wall openings; failed sections are cut out and reconnected with proper fittings.

4

Pressure Test & Patch

Every line is pressure-tested before we close up walls, then we patch and clean the work area.

FAQ

Common Questions

Most homes are repiped in 2–4 days depending on size and access, with water restored each night.
Both are excellent. Copper is the traditional standard with a very long lifespan; PEX is flexible, resists freeze-cracking, and typically costs less to install. We'll help you weigh the trade-offs for your home.
Some wall access is usually needed, but we plan routes to minimize openings and patch everything we open.
Yes — if the rest of your system is in good shape, we can repair a single failed run instead of a full repipe.
