Our Repiping Process
Here’s what to expect from start to finish.
1. Assessment and Quote
We assess the existing plumbing system, confirm the pipe material and condition, and give you a clear written quote before any work begins. No surprises on price once the job starts.
2. Preparation
We schedule the work to minimize disruption and protect your property throughout the job. Most whole house repipes require water to be shut off during the installation day, and we coordinate timing with you in advance.
3. Installation
New copper or PEX lines are run throughout the property, replacing the old supply lines. We work efficiently to complete the installation as quickly as possible, typically within one to three days depending on the size of the home and the complexity of the existing system.
4. Testing and Inspection
Once installation is complete, we pressure test the new system and verify all connections before water is restored. Every repipe we complete is done to California code and ready for inspection if required.
5. Wall Repair and Restoration
Access holes made during the repipe are patched and finished. We hold a CSLB General B contractor license, so we handle wall repair in-house without bringing in a separate contractor.
Signs Your Home May Need Repiping
If your home has galvanized or polybutylene pipes and is over 30 years old, a repipe evaluation is worth scheduling before a failure happens on its own terms.
- Recurring leaks in multiple locations, even after repairs
- Low water pressure throughout the property, not just one fixture
- Discolored or rust-colored water, which indicates corrosion inside the pipes
- Visible corrosion or orange staining on exposed pipes
- Galvanized steel pipes, common in San Diego homes built before the 1970s
- Polybutylene pipes, a gray plastic material used in homes built between the late 1970s and mid-1990s, are prone to failure
- Frequent pinhole leaks that keep appearing in different spots
- Unusual water taste or odor that doesn't come from the water supply itself
Should I Go With Copper or PEX Repiping?
We offer both copper and PEX repiping and give honest recommendations based on your property, budget, and long-term goals. PEX is more flexible, costs less, and is faster to install, making it the practical choice for most repipe projects. Copper has a longer track record and some homeowners prefer it for its durability and resale perception. We install both and will give you an honest recommendation based on your specific situation.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much does repiping cost in San Diego?
Whole house repiping in San Diego costs between $4,000 and $15,000 depending on the size of the home, the pipe material chosen, and the complexity of the existing system. PEX installations generally run lower than copper. We provide a written quote after assessing your property so you know the full cost before any work begins.
How long does a whole house repipe take?
Most whole house repipes take one to three days depending on the size of the home and the layout of the existing plumbing. We’ll give you a clear timeline after the initial assessment.
Do I need to leave my home during repiping?
Most homeowners stay in their home during a repipe. Water will be shut off during the installation day and is typically restored by the end of the day. If the job runs longer, we coordinate water access with you so the disruption is manageable.
How do I know if my home has galvanized pipes?
Galvanized pipes are silver-gray in color and magnetic. You can check exposed pipes in the garage, under sinks, or in the basement if your home has one. Homes built before the 1970s in San Diego are likely to have galvanized supply lines. If you’re not sure, we can assess during an estimate visit.
Is PEX or copper better for San Diego homes?
Both perform well in San Diego’s climate. PEX is more flexible, costs less, and is faster to install, making it the practical choice for most repipe projects. Copper has a longer track record and some homeowners prefer it for its durability and resale perception. We install both and will give you an honest recommendation based on your specific situation.
