Reno Repiping Services

You probably don’t spend much time inspecting the plumbing in your home. Also, the pipes won’t simply tell you when they are getting old. How are you supposed to know when it is time for a repiping job?

A few common signs that a repiping service could be useful are:

• Old pipes: Plastic and copper pipes last much longer than galvanized steel pipes that were the norm up until the ‘60s. However, all pipes will start to have problems sooner or later. If your home hasn’t had its pipes replaced in 50 or more years, then it is likely that a repiping service will be useful soon. We can inspect the pipes in your home to see if this is the case.
• Frequent leaks: One or two leaks in your home could be a problem with those specific spots in the plumbing, so a repair is all that is needed. If there are many leaks within a relatively short amount of time, though, then it is a sign that the pipes are old and cracked and should be replaced soon.
• Discolored water: If one or more fixtures dispense discolored water, then it could be a sign that the pipes need to be replaced. Rusty water is caused by pipe corrosion, so this type of discoloration almost guarantees that a repiping service should be arranged.

What is Whole-Home Repiping?

Whole-home repiping is the process of replacing the old pipes throughout your entire home with new piping material. The project can be large, depending on the size of your home and how many fixtures you have throughout it.

To begin the repiping job, we will first want to decide what repiping material will work best: copper or plastic. Galvanized steel pipes haven’t been used in homes for decades due to their susceptibility to corrosion. After this decision is made, we will then decide the best starting point for the process.

Once repiping work starts, it will usually take at least three days to complete. Larger homes can require a full week – Monday through Friday – to finish. In every job, no matter how much work needs to be done, we are always extremely careful to not make a mess, show your home the respect it deserves, and will notify you when you could experience water interruptions.
