When Do You Need New Plumbing Installation?
A few signs it may be time to consider a new installation rather than another repair:
Age — plumbing systems over 50 years old are more prone to leaks, clogs, and other issues
Frequent Repairs — if you're calling a plumber again and again, a new installation is often more cost effective long term
Rusty or Discolored Water — a sign of rust or corrosion inside your pipes
Low Water Pressure — often points to a larger issue a new installation can resolve
Remodeling — a renovation is the ideal time to bring your plumbing up to current codes and needs
Whole-House Repiping.
When pipes become corroded, rusty, or start causing low water pressure and leaks, repiping is often the right call. Our licensed plumbers are trained to work with a full range of plumbing systems and materials, including galvanized and copper pipe, and can also handle drywall repair once the repiping work is complete.
Common signs it's time to repipe your home:
Rust colored water
Low water pressure
Water that runs cold unexpectedly
Leaks and floods
Pipe material options we work with:
Copper pipes — traditional, highly durable, resistant to corrosion, can last decades
PEX pipes — flexible, corrosion resistant, expands and contracts with temperature changes, less likely to burst
PVC pipes — commonly used for drain and vent systems, resistant to corrosion, easy to work with
Galvanized steel pipes — zinc coated for corrosion resistance, durable but can eventually corrode
Cast iron pipes — heavy duty, often used for waste and vent systems, very durable but harder to install
ABS pipes — lightweight and easy to install, though can become brittle over time
Why many homeowners choose PEX for repiping:
Cost effective — generally less expensive than copper, with lower labor costs due to easier installation
Durable — resistant to corrosion and scaling, less likely to burst or freeze
Flexible — easier to install around corners and obstacles, reduces leak risk from temperature changes
A licensed plumber can help you weigh cost, durability, and ease of installation to determine the best material for your specific home.
