How Much Does It Cost To Repipe A House?
What is the cost of a repipe?
So you need to repipe your Houston home? How much does it cost to repipe a house?
The repipe cost of a house varies based on few variables
1) the material used,
2) the size of your home,
3) the number of stories
4) the number of bathrooms
5) total water fixtures you have in your home.
It is a moderate to high investment in your home, but if delayed it can cost you more money in the long run.
A whole house repipe cost can range roughly from $4000 to $15,000, when using PEX as the galvanized pipe replacement. PEX requires less demolition of your home and therefore reduces the overall cost from other materials like a copper repipe. A copper repipe would require opening up your walls wherever there are water lines. A copper repipe would be more expensive. See the repiping process for more info.

Calculation of Repipe Cost?
An accurate estimate depends on the number of bathrooms, their distance from the kitchen, the location of the laundry room, and the number of fixtures.
The cost to replumb a house varies widely, depending on many factors, the biggest two being the size of the house and the materials used. Most homes older than fifty years need to be replumbed because of corroded or cracked pipes. A bigger house or building will cost more to redo than a smaller one, and a home replumbed with copper pipe will cost more than one replumbed with PEX.
What happens if I don’t replace the galvanized pipe in my home?
Galvanized pipes are steel pipes that have been dipped in a protective zinc coating to prevent corrosion and rust. Galvanized piping was commonly installed in homes built before 1960. However, in Houston, home builders used galvanized pipes for water supply plumbing in homes through the late 1980s. Galvanized pipes in Houston have a life expectancy of 40-50 years. This number varies based on water quality, frequency of use, and initial quality of pipes.
Galvanized pipes begin to corrode from the inside out, causing pinhole leaks, rusty color water, and fluctuation in water temperature and pressure. The problem with galvanized pipes is sometimes you don’t know you have a problem until you have a major problem. Once you start experiencing problems with your 40+-year-old galvanized pipes, it is typically recommended that you get a whole house to repipe to replace all the galvanized plumbing. This process will protect your home from potential damage and provide you with a better dwelling experience: clean water, good water pressure, and consistency in water temperature.
