Complete pipe replacement for corroded, failing, and outdated water lines
Call Now: (323) 928-9399Old or damaged water lines cause problems that repairs can't fix. Learn when repiping is your best solution.
When you've got an older home or building, the original pipes have been working for decades. Galvanized steel and cast iron pipes corrode from the inside out. You might not see the damage until you turn on the tap and get discolored water, or you notice low water pressure that doesn't improve with cleaning.
Copper pipes can develop pinhole leaks. Polybutylene plastic pipes become brittle and crack. The problem isn't always visible either. A pipe failing behind your walls leaks slowly, damaging insulation and creating mold before you even realize there's an issue. By the time you notice, you've got multiple problem spots that need attention.
Trying to patch one leak just means another one appears down the line. When pipes are at the end of their life, replacement is more cost-effective and reliable than endless repairs.
Corrosion eats through metal pipes over time. Mineral buildup restricts flow. Ground movement and soil shifts crack underground lines. Tree roots seek moisture and penetrate buried pipes. Freeze-thaw cycles in winter expand and contract pipes until they fail. Chemical reactions in the soil accelerate deterioration.
Rusty or discolored water coming from faucets indicates interior corrosion. Multiple small leaks scattered throughout the house suggests widespread degradation. Persistent low pressure that plagues your entire system rather than one fixture. Recurring issues in the same spots even after repairs. Visible water stains on ceilings or walls. The smell or taste of metallic water.
A complete repiping job replaces your old water lines with new, durable materials designed to last decades.
We start by identifying which sections of your pipe system need replacement. This might be the main water line from the street, branch lines to individual fixtures, or sections behind walls. We'll discuss whether you need PEX tubing, copper, or another material based on your home's setup and your budget.
For accessible pipes, we often run new lines alongside the old ones, which keeps disruption minimal. Underground or in-wall lines require more careful work. We map out the cleanest route, then carefully route new pipes through walls, under floors, or buried in the yard. Old pipes are capped off safely.
Modern repiping doesn't always mean tearing into every wall. Newer techniques like trenchless pipe bursting break apart failing underground pipes in place and replace them without massive excavation. We assess what approach works best for your situation and walkthrough options with you upfront.
Once new pipes are in, we pressure-test the entire system to confirm everything seals properly and water flows as it should. We verify water quality and pressure meet standards. Final connections to fixtures and appliances are tested too.
The line from the street to your home carries all your water. When it fails, you lose supply or waste water in the yard. We replace corroded or broken main lines with materials rated for decades of service. Whether we trench, use trenchless methods, or bore under obstacles depends on your property layout.
Sometimes every pipe in the house needs replacing. We systematically replace supply lines throughout, connecting kitchens, bathrooms, laundry, and all fixtures to a new main distribution point. This is a bigger job, but it eliminates all corrosion issues at once and restores reliable water flow and pressure.
Not all properties need everything replaced. Maybe the main line is fine but the second-floor lines fail, or underground lines work but above-ground kitchen lines corrode. We replace only the problem sections, saving you money while fixing the issues affecting your daily use.
We install code-compliant piping that suits your home. PEX tubing handles freeze-thaw cycles well and resists corrosion. Copper is durable and traditional. Polyethylene works for underground applications. We explain pros and cons of each so you make an informed choice.

Before repiping, we often use leak detection technology to pinpoint exactly where failures occur. This helps us decide whether a patch works or if replacement is necessary.
A failing water line can sometimes be repaired, depending on the damage. We assess whether repair or replacement makes sense for your situation and budget.
Single pipe breaks or corrosion spots can be fixed quickly. But when issues are widespread, repiping eliminates the problem permanently rather than patching repeatedly.
