Common Signs You Need a Repipe or Repair
The following are common signs that indicate a repipe is necessary:
- Continually needing repairs with your existing system
- Unusual colored or tasting water coming from your fixtures
- Decreased water pressure
- Old, aging system
- Limescale corrosion
- Cracks caused by frozen pipes
Benefits of Repiping Services
Repiping a home has many benefits. Among them is a reduced risk of problems often associated with old piping, as well as a decreased chance of more serious consequences.
Here are additional benefits you can expect to see:
-
Safe, Clear Water: Rust-colored water is often a result of rusty pipes. After repiping, the water will flow clear again and will be safe to use.
-
Improve Efficiency: Piping problems prevent homeowners from using various sinks and showers at one time. Repiping will improve efficiency in your home.
-
Save Money: You'll enjoy a lower water bill by stopping leaks, saving you money both in the short term and in the long run.
What Kind of Piping Can Be Used?
Our technicians can help you install either copper or PEX pipes.
-
Copper piping: This material is eco-friendly and lightweight. Since it is not affected by corrosion, fewer supports are needed. It is the best choice for homeowners on a budget.
-
PEX piping: A new kind of plastic material, PEX piping is also offered at a reasonable price. It doesn't corrode and is very lightweight. Homeowners often choose this kind of piping because it is highly durable and can handle harsh temperatures.

When Are Repiping Services Needed?
When your home's water does not heat properly, it will require repiping services. Water should only take a few minutes to heat up. If the water takes several minutes to heat, there is a problem with the piping.
Rusty water can cause all sorts of health problems if ingested and can affect the skin if used for showering or washing hands. Clean water is the most important feature to have in a home, so let us help you make sure your water supply is safe for you and your family.
As a general rule, repairs are needed when a pipe bursts and repiping is necessary when the piping has operational issues.

Home built 1978-1995 with polybutylene pipe (gray plastic)
Rust-colored water from hot or cold taps
Low water pressure house-wide, especially on upper floors
Multiple pinhole leaks in the past 2 years
White or green corrosion crust on visible pipe fittings
Leaks behind drywall with no freeze or impact cause
Water heater replacement coming up — good time to repipe everything at once
Remodel or addition planned — repipe during construction saves on labor
Pre-sale prep — galvanized or polybutylene flagged on buyer inspection

The Process
How a Whole-Home Repipe Runs
In-home assessment
Tech walks the house, maps existing pipe paths, verifies fixture locations, and identifies the best access strategy to minimize drywall cuts. You get a scoped quote with pipe material options (PEX, copper, CPVC) and a side-by-side comparison.
Scheduling and prep
Most repipes schedule 1-3 weeks out. Permit pulled before the start date. You move furniture and belongings away from access areas — we protect floors with runners and put plastic sheeting over work zones.
Day 1 install
Water off, drywall access cuts (usually 6-10 small holes strategically placed), new lines run through walls, attics, ceilings, and crawl spaces from a central manifold to each fixture. New shutoff valves at every fixture.
Day 2 final connections and test
All fixtures connected to new lines, pressure-tested to 100 PSI for 24 hours minimum. Any leaks found and fixed before drywall goes back. Water restored fully, temperature balanced, every fixture tested.
City inspection and drywall
City inspector verifies the work before drywall patches. Drywall crew (our partner or yours) comes in within a week to patch access cuts. Final walkthrough, 10-year workmanship warranty, and photos of all pipe runs for your records.

Compare
PEX vs. Copper vs. CPVC
Three pipe materials. PEX wins on cost and installation speed. Copper wins on lifespan and feel. CPVC is occasionally the right call in specific situations.
| Feature | PEX (A) | Copper (Type L) | CPVC |
|---|---|---|---|
| Upfront cost (3-bath repipe) | $5,500 – $9,500 | $8,500 – $14,500 | $4,500 – $7,500 |
| Lifespan | 50+ years | 70-100 years | 50-70 years |
| Freeze resistance | High — expands without rupture | Low — ruptures in hard freeze | Medium — brittle when cold |
| Installation speed | 1-2 days typical | 2-3 days typical | 1-2 days typical |
| Hard water performance | Excellent — no scale buildup inside | Good — can scale over decades | Good |
| Chemical leaching concerns | Minimal — tested safe | None — metal | Some concern at high temp |
| Pressure rating | Excellent | Excellent | Good |
| Best for | Most Utah repipes — best value | Long-term owners, premium spec | Budget, hot-specific applications |
| Downsides | Plastic feel, needs UV protection | Higher cost, scale, theft risk | Brittle, solvent-welded joints |
