REPIPING
Call us if you need to replace your home’s pipes.
Repiping a home is a significant project requiring a professional plumber's skills, tools, and supplies in the Northern Virginia area. If you think your home needs a complete repiping, call us to assess your plumbing situation.
We can help you determine if you need repiping and provide a recommendation along with an estimate of the cost.
The most common reason for home repiping is the age of your plumbing system. Most plumbing lasts for decades, but corrosion can take its toll on pipes, leading to problems that need fixing. Galvanized pipes, in particular, are susceptible to corrosion and most often need replacement. Old pipes will start to leak, so any time you see pooled water in your house, give us a call to inspect the problem. Not every leak means a complete repiping, but an older plumbing system is more likely to result in frequent plumbing visits to fix leaks. When you repipe your home, the quality of your water will improve, as will the efficiency of your entire plumbing system. Once it’s done, you’ll be able to count on decades of reliable plumbing for your family.
When you call us about a possible repiping project, we will assess your home’s current plumbing system and connections. Our experienced plumbers will survey your connections to main water lines, drainage, hot water sources, and other factors that can complicate the job. We’ll also see where walls and floors might have to be opened to access the plumbing. We’ll offer you a choice of pipe materials for your new plumbing system. Usually, we recommend copper piping, but we can also install PEX and CPVC. We can discuss your budget and other considerations to help you choose the right material. Based on this information, we will estimate the cost and duration of the repiping. We’ll also inform you about any permits or if local codes will affect you.
Our professional plumbers will arrive already knowing what equipment they need to access your existing piping. Walls and floors will likely have to be opened to gain access to the pipes. They will already have a mapped-out plan for setting up the new piping system in your home. Once the new piping is fitted and sealed, we test it to ensure there are no leaks and that the water pressure is working. Once we are sure that your plumbing is done, we will close up the walls and floors.
Every job is different, so it depends on the size of your home and the layout of your current plumbing system. A good rule of thumb is to anticipate a week without water and having your day-to-day life disrupted by our team's work. Once we inspect your home, we can provide a more accurate time estimate.
This depends on the nature of the problem and your policy. It’s worth checking to see if you are covered for water damage from broken or leaking pipes.
