Whole-house repipe in Phoenix
A repipe replaces the supply lines instead of patching them again. It’s the right call when the pipe itself has run out of life, and the wrong call when a single fitting failed — so we walk the house and tell you which one you’re actually looking at. That visit is free.
You’re here because…
- The second or third pinhole leak in the same year
- Rusty or brown water on the first draw of the morning
- Pressure that has dropped slowly over years, everywhere at once
- Galvanized steel pipe — standard in Phoenix houses built before the 1970s
- Polybutylene, the grey plastic pipe that fails from the inside out
- The same wall opened up and patched more than once
- Buying an older house and wanting to know what’s behind the drywall
Included in the price
- A free walk-through and a pressure reading before anything is quoted
- A written scope naming every line, fixture and access point
- New pipe, fittings, valves and hangers throughout
- Full pressure test before anything is closed up
- Access cuts kept as small and as few as the run allows
- 1-year warranty on parts and workmanship
Not included
- Drywall patching, texture and paint once the plumbing is signed off
- Permits, which vary by city and scope
- Anything under the slab, which is quoted as a slab leak or a reroute
- Fixtures and finishes — we reconnect what’s there or set what you supply
Naming these up front is the point. They’re the most common surprise on a final invoice in this trade.
How the job goes
- 01
Walk the house
What the pipe is, how much of the run is reachable, what the pressure actually reads at the hose bibb. Free, and it’s what decides whether you need this at all.
- 02
Written scope and price
Every line, every access cut, and the number, before anything is committed. No allowances that turn into a second conversation later.
- 03
Run the new lines
New pipe through attic and interior walls wherever the house allows it, because every foot run overhead is a foot of drywall you don’t pay to put back.
- 04
Cut over and test
The house comes off the old pipe onto the new, the system is pressure-tested, and every fixture is run before we call it done.
Questions we get
How do I know it’s time to repipe instead of patching again?
If you’ve had more than two leaks in a year, patching is a losing bet — the rest of the pipe is the same age, in the same soil, carrying the same water. The next one is a question of when. We’ll walk it and tell you honestly which one your house is at, and if it’s still a patch we’ll say so.
Copper or PEX?
Both, and the house usually decides. PEX runs through tighter spaces with fewer joints, which on an occupied house means fewer walls opened. Copper is what a lot of people still want to see. We’ll tell you which one we’d put in our own house and why, and the price of each is on the scope.
Do you have to open every wall?
No. Most of a repipe runs through the attic and drops down to fixtures, so the cuts land where a line has to come through — and every one of them is named on the written scope before we start, not discovered by you afterwards.
How long does it take?
It depends on the size of the house, the number of fixtures, and how much of the run is reachable — a single-storey with attic access is a different job from a two-storey on a slab. You get the number in the written scope, before you commit to anything.
Will this fix my water pressure?
If the old pipe is galvanized and scaled up inside, usually yes — that’s exactly what scale does. But low pressure can also be the regulator or the main riser, and a repipe fixes neither of those. That’s why we take a reading first instead of selling you the big job.
Why isn’t there a price on this page?
Because a repipe is priced by the house, not by the job. Fixture count, one storey or two, how much of the run is reachable, copper or PEX — those move the number far more than any average we could publish. Eighty-six of our services carry a flat rate precisely because their scope is knowable. This one isn’t, so the estimate is free instead.
