Signs You May Need a Whole-House Repipe

If your Houston home has galvanized, polybutylene, or aging copper pipes, these symptoms usually point to a system-wide failure — not a one-time fix.

Common Warning Signs

  • Brown, yellow, or rusty water from your taps
  • Noticeable drop in water pressure
  • Leaks that keep coming back after repairs
  • Water stains on walls, ceilings, or floors
  • Metallic taste or odor in your water
  • Repairs in one area followed by leaks somewhere else
  • Unexplained spike in water bills
  • Home built before 1990 with original plumbing

What Happens Next

One of our licensed repipe specialists will inspect your home, identify every failing line, and walk you through your options — with a written quote, not a sales pitch.

  • Confirm whether repiping is the right solution
  • Explain routing options based on your home’s layout
  • Review PEX-A vs Type-L copper if applicable
  • Provide a clear, written quote with timeline
If a full repipe is needed, the entire system is replaced at once — eliminating recurring leaks, pressure loss, and future failures. Most repipes take just 1–2 days of pipe work.

HOW IT WORKS

What Is a Whole-House Repipe?

A whole-house repipe removes every failing water line in your home and replaces it with new, code-compliant piping — from the main supply line to every fixture, faucet, and valve.

What We Replace

  • Corroded galvanized steel causing rust and pressure loss
  • Aging copper with pinhole leaks or green corrosion
  • Polybutylene (poly-b) lines prone to sudden splits

What’s Included

  • New PEX-A or Type-L copper — matched to your home
  • Floor and furniture protection throughout the job
  • Drywall patching, paint touch-ups, and a final walkthrough

MATERIALS

Which Repipe Material Is Right for Your Home?

We install both PEX-A and Type-L copper. The right choice depends on your home’s layout, pipe condition, and long-term goals — not a one-size-fits-all answer.

Why Many Houston Homes Choose PEX-A

  • Fewer holes in your walls — PEX routes flexibly with minimal fittings
  • Holds up to Houston water — resists the corrosion and mineral buildup that eats through metal
  • Stronger, more even pressure — consistent flow to every fixture in the house
  • Less time, less disruption — faster installation means you’re back to normal sooner

When Copper Still Makes Sense

  • You prefer traditional metal piping — and some homeowners simply do
  • Your layout favors it — certain access conditions and configurations work better with copper
  • You’re doing a partial repipe — copper is a strong choice for targeted zones
  • Installed using durable Type-L copper only

During your inspection, we’ll explain both options and recommend what makes the most sense for your home and budget. You can also explore the full comparison here: PEX vs Copper Repiping .

OUR PROCESS

Our 1–2 Day Whole-House Repipe Process

We keep the process structured, clean, and predictable from start to finish — so you know exactly what to expect before, during, and after your repipe.

Free Inspection & Written Quote

We walk your home, identify failing lines, and explain your replacement options. You receive a written quote with a firm number — no pressure. Financing is reviewed on the spot if you want it, and we pull the city permit before work begins.

Protection & Prep

We protect your floors and work areas, plan the routing, and complete all prep work to minimize disruption inside your home. Your water stays on until the new system is ready to connect.

Install New PEX-A or Type-L Copper

We safely bypass your old water lines and install your new system cleanly and efficiently throughout the home. Water is typically off only during the final tie-in — a few hours — and it’s back on the same evening.

City Permit Inspection

When your job requires a permit — most do — the city inspector reviews the new system while the walls are still open. That’s your independent, third-party check that everything meets code. We don’t close a wall until it passes.

Drywall Repairs & Touch-Ups

Every access opening is repaired paint-ready — texture matching included — with paint touch-ups wherever we opened walls.

Final Pressure Test & Walkthrough

The system is pressure-tested, fixtures are checked, and we complete a final walkthrough with you before the job is finished.

Have questions about the process? See our FAQ or schedule a free inspection.

Most whole-house repipes are typically a one- to two-day job.

SCOPE, IN WRITING

What’s Included — and What Isn’t

The quote you sign is the price you pay. Here’s the standard scope so there are no surprises on either side.

Every whole-house repipe includes

  • New Uponor PEX-A supply lines to every fixture, hot and cold
  • Type-L copper main line
  • City permit and inspection handling — we pull it, we meet the inspector
  • Floor and furniture protection throughout
  • Pressure test on every line before close-up
  • Drywall repair, paint-ready, with texture matching and paint touch-up
  • Hot-line insulation in unconditioned spaces
  • New supply stops at every fixture
  • Reconnection to your existing water heater
  • Haul-away of old material and full cleanup

Quoted separately when needed

  • Drain or sewer line work — that’s a separate service (we do it too)
  • Water heater replacement
  • Full-room repainting beyond touch-up of our work areas
  • Fixture upgrades — new faucets or valves you’d like changed while walls are open

STRAIGHT ANSWERS ON PRICE

What Moves the Number

Every home is quoted from a walkthrough, not a formula — but these are the factors that matter, so you can see where your home likely lands.

Fixtures & bathrooms

More fixtures means more lines and more openings. A 2-bath single-story is the baseline; each added bath moves the number.

Stories & access

Two-story homes and tight attic or crawl access add routing time. Good attic access keeps openings — and cost — down.

Material choice

PEX-A throughout is the baseline. Full copper is available and priced at the walkthrough — a premium material with premium labor.

FAQ

Whole-House Repipe FAQ

Quick answers to the most common questions homeowners ask before scheduling a whole-house repipe inspection.

How long does a whole-house repipe take?

Most homes are completed in 1–2 days, with water restored the same day. Our crews work efficiently to minimize downtime—most families sleep in their own beds and shower the next morning. Larger or multi-story homes may take an extra half-day, which we’ll confirm during your free inspection.

Will you have to tear up my walls?

We open only the smallest access points needed and include drywall patching and paint touch-ups as part of every job—no extra charge. Our team plans pipe routing in advance to keep wall openings to a minimum, so your home looks clean when we’re done.

Do you work on galvanized pipes?

Absolutely. Galvanized pipes are the most common reason Houston homeowners repipe. Corrosion, rust-colored water, and low pressure are telltale signs. See our galvanized pipe replacement page for details on how we handle full and partial galvanized replacements.

How long will my water be off?

Your existing system stays live while we run the new one. Water is typically off only while we cut over to the new system — a few hours — and it’s restored the same evening.

Do I need to move out during the repipe?

No. Most families stay home. Work areas are contained and protected, and we’re respectful of the fact that it’s your house, not our job site.

Do I have to choose PEX or copper?

Not at all—we install both and will help you decide. During your inspection we’ll walk you through PEX vs copper and recommend the best option based on your home’s layout, budget, and long-term goals.

Can I finance my whole-house repipe?

Yes. We partner with trusted lenders to offer flexible payment plans so you can protect your home without a large upfront cost. Your inspector will walk you through available options on-site. Learn more about repipe financing for an overview of available plans.

What if I have a slab leak?

Slab leaks are common in Houston’s clay-rich soil. We offer slab leak repipe / reroutes that reroute your water lines overhead, avoiding costly jackhammering and protecting your flooring and foundation.

What happens to the old pipes?

Abandoned lines are disconnected and left safely in place where removal would cause damage; accessible material is hauled away as part of every job, along with full cleanup.

Is a repipe worth it before selling?

A documented repipe with a transferable warranty removes the single biggest plumbing objection in an inspection report — old supply lines. Many customers repipe specifically to protect a sale.
