Signs You Need to Repipe

Discolored water at multiple faucets, frequent pinhole leaks, visible corrosion on exposed pipes, and noticeably low water pressure are strong indicators that repiping is overdue.

The Repiping Process

A crew maps existing plumbing, opens access points in walls and ceilings, runs new PEX or copper to every fixture, connects everything, pressure-tests the system, and patches wall openings.

PEX Manifold vs. Trunk-and-Branch

Manifold (home-run) systems use individual lines from a central manifold to each fixture—better pressure balance but more tubing. Trunk-and-branch uses shared main lines with tees.

Repipe if you have galvanized, polybutylene, or lead pipes, or if you experience frequent leaks, low pressure, and rusty water throughout the house.

Can I stay in the house during repiping?
Usually yes. Water is typically off during work hours (8-10 hours/day) but restored each evening.
