When You Need Whole House Repiping
Age of Existing Pipes
Homes built before 1980 often have galvanized steel pipes that are nearing the end of their useful life. These pipes are prone to corrosion, mineral buildup, and frequent leaks that make whole house repiping the most cost-effective solution.
Multiple Plumbing Problems
When you're experiencing frequent leaks, low water pressure, discolored water, and other plumbing issues throughout your home, these are signs that your entire plumbing system needs replacement.
Poor Water Quality
Corroded pipes can affect water taste, color, and quality. Whole house repiping with modern materials eliminates contamination and ensures clean, fresh water throughout your home.
Home Renovation Projects
Major renovations provide an ideal opportunity for whole house repiping. We can coordinate with your renovation schedule to minimize disruption and ensure your new home has a modern plumbing system.
Modern Pipe Materials
PEX (Cross-Linked Polyethylene)
PEX is our most popular choice for whole house repiping. It offers excellent flexibility, freeze resistance, and corrosion immunity. PEX installation is faster and less disruptive than traditional materials, making it ideal for occupied homes.
Copper Piping
Copper remains the premium choice for whole house repiping, offering proven durability, antimicrobial properties, and excellent longevity. We install Type L copper for maximum reliability and code compliance throughout Lubbock.
Hybrid Systems
Some homes benefit from hybrid systems using different materials for different applications. We design custom solutions that optimize performance and cost-effectiveness for your specific needs.
