PEX Repiping in Sacramento County

A single leak is a repair. A pattern is a system telling you the pipes themselves have failed. If you recognize more than one of these, a repipe is almost always the cheaper path than another year of spot fixes:

• Rusty, cloudy, or metallic-tasting water, especially first thing in the morning
• Water pressure that has slowly dropped across the whole house, not just one faucet
• Pinhole leaks that keep showing up in different spots
• Galvanized steel or polybutylene pipe, both of which fail from the inside out
• Pipes that are 40 or more years old and have never been replaced
• Hot water that takes a long time to arrive and never runs truly hot

Galvanized and polybutylene are the two materials we replace most often in Sacramento County homes. Both corrode or degrade internally long before the damage is visible on the wall.

A repipe replaces the pressurized supply lines that carry fresh water to every fixture in your home: sinks, showers, tubs, toilets, the water heater, laundry, and outdoor spigots. It does not touch drain or sewer lines, which are a separate system on a separate quote.

Most projects are whole-house, replacing every supply run at once so you never revisit the same walls twice. Partial repipes are possible when only part of the system has failed, for example, the original galvanized lines in an older wing while a newer addition stays in place. During the free assessment we walk the home, locate every run, and tell you honestly which approach makes sense for your condition and budget.
