Repiping the house

Request a callback

Two new PEX supply lines strapped neatly along a basement joist

Repiping is the job nobody plans: it arrives when the galvanized supply lines from the 1960s through 1980s finally thin enough to stain the water, kill the pressure, and start leaking in walls. Older cores of Caldwell and Nampa still carry these, and rural properties carry their own versions in polybutylene-era retrofits and aging well feeds.

What repiping replaces

A repipe swaps the supply lines end to end: the corroded galvanized or failing copper comes out, PEX or new copper goes in, every fixture gets a fresh run and new shutoffs. The drains stay; this is a supply-side job.

How long it takes

A straightforward single-bath house runs days, not weeks, with the water back on each evening. Walls come open where the runs go, so drywall patching is part of the scope conversation. The plumber should walk the house and say where the access points land before the quote.

Signs the pipes are done

Rust-tinted water at startup, pressure that fades when two fixtures run, pinhole leaks that keep moving, and visible corrosion on exposed runs in the basement or crawlspace. Two of those together and the question shifts from whether to when.
