What is Re-piping?

Your home’s plumbing needs maintenance, just like any other aspect of your house. Over time, pipes can corrode and become prone to leaks and other issues, which can lead to low water pressure, discolored water, or strange noises. If you’re spending a lot on repairs, living in an older home, or remodeling, consider re-piping your home. 

Re-piping is when you replace the old plumbing system in your home with a newer, updated one. This is usually done in older homes with degraded pipes or problems, or during a major home remodel.

​

When is a re-pipe needed?

Choosing to re-pipe your home is a major undertaking.

Here are some signs it’s time to re-pipe your home:

When your home has galvanized steel pipes

This is usually seen in homes built prior to 1970. Though durable, galvanized steel is prone to corrosion that can cause leaks or sediment that may end up in the drinking water.

​

When your plumbing keeps springing leaks

Pipes that often have leaks or problems can really rack up your plumbing repair costs. If this is the case, it’s more cost-effective to re-pipe your home and correct the recurring plumbing issues. You’ll also benefit from having a brand-new system.

​

During a remodel

Remodeling your kitchen or bathroom or adding rooms to your home may mean installing some new plumbing fixtures. This is a good time to consider re-piping your home and updating your plumbing. Otherwise, you may have problems where the new and old systems join.
