Signs Your Home Needs Whole-House Repiping
Several indicators suggest it might be time to consider repiping your Southern Oregon home. If you're experiencing frequent leaks, especially from joints and connections, this often signals that your pipes are nearing the end of their useful life. Low water pressure throughout the house, particularly if it's gotten worse over time, typically indicates internal corrosion reducing pipe diameter. Discolored water, especially rust-colored or brown water when you first turn on taps, suggests your pipes are deteriorating from the inside. Strange tastes or odors in your water can also indicate pipe corrosion affecting water quality.
PEX vs. Copper: Choosing the Right Material
Both PEX and copper offer distinct advantages for whole-house repiping projects. PEX (cross-linked polyethylene) provides excellent flexibility, making it ideal for running through walls with minimal cutting, and it's naturally resistant to freezing and corrosion. PEX installations are typically faster and more affordable while providing excellent long-term performance. Copper piping offers traditional durability and can add value to your home, especially in higher-end properties. Copper also provides excellent water quality and has a proven track record spanning decades. We'll help you evaluate your specific situation, budget, and preferences to choose the material that best serves your home's needs.
The Repiping Process: What to Expect
Our repiping process is designed to minimize disruption while ensuring excellent results. We start with a comprehensive assessment and detailed planning to determine the most efficient approach for your specific home. Before beginning work, we protect your flooring and belongings, and clearly communicate the daily schedule. We work systematically, typically completing one section at a time so you maintain water access to essential areas like kitchens and bathrooms. Most whole-house repipes take 2-5 days depending on your home's size and complexity. We provide daily updates on progress and always clean up thoroughly before leaving each day.
Why Repiping is a Smart Investment
A whole-house repipe provides both immediate benefits and long-term value for your Southern Oregon home. You'll notice improved water pressure and quality immediately, along with the peace of mind that comes from knowing your plumbing system is reliable and modern. Repiping eliminates the ongoing costs and stress of frequent leak repairs while preventing potential water damage that can be far more expensive than the repipe itself. Modern piping systems also improve your home's value and appeal to future buyers, making repiping a smart financial decision that pays dividends both now and later.

FAQ About Our House Repiping Service
How long does a whole-house repipe typically take?
Most whole-house repipes take 2-5 days depending on your home's size, complexity, and the extent of the work needed. Single-story homes with accessible plumbing routes typically take less time, while multi-story homes or properties with challenging layouts may require additional days. We provide a realistic timeline estimate during our initial assessment and keep you updated on progress throughout the project. Our goal is to complete the work efficiently while maintaining our quality standards and minimizing disruption to your daily routine.
Will I have water during the repiping process?
Yes, we work systematically to ensure you maintain water access to essential areas throughout most of the project. We typically work on one section at a time, so while we're working on bathroom plumbing, you'll still have water access in the kitchen and other areas. We coordinate with you to schedule any necessary full shutoffs during convenient times, and these are usually brief. Our planning process includes identifying your priorities for maintaining water access, and we structure the work to accommodate your family's needs as much as possible.
How much does whole-house repiping cost?
Repiping costs vary significantly based on your home's size, the complexity of the plumbing layout, material choices, and the extent of work needed. During our assessment, we provide a detailed, transparent estimate that breaks down all costs including materials, labor, permits, and any additional work required. We believe in honest pricing without hidden surprises, so you'll know exactly what to expect before we begin. While repiping represents a significant investment, it's often more cost-effective than continuing to repair an aging system while risking water damage.
Should I choose PEX or copper piping for my repipe?
Both materials offer excellent performance, and the best choice depends on your specific situation, budget, and preferences. PEX is typically more affordable and faster to install, offers excellent freeze resistance, and provides reliable long-term performance. Copper offers traditional durability, proven longevity, and can add value to higher-end homes. We'll evaluate your home's specific needs, your budget considerations, and your long-term goals to recommend the material that makes the most sense for your situation. Our experience with both materials ensures excellent results regardless of which option you choose.
