Repiping FAQ
Common Questions
Will repiping damage my walls?
Some drywall cuts are necessary to access pipes. A good plumber minimizes the openings and patches them, but you may need to paint the patched areas.
Does repiping add value to my home?
Yes. New plumbing is a significant selling point, especially in older North Texas homes. It eliminates leak risks and improves water pressure and quality.
What about the drain pipes?
A standard repipe covers supply lines (hot and cold water). Drain/sewer repiping is a separate scope and typically only needed if you have cast iron or failing drain lines.
How do I know if my home needs repiping?
Signs include low water pressure, discolored water, frequent leaks, pinhole leaks in copper pipes, or galvanized steel pipes. Homes built before 1980 in North Texas often have aging pipes that need replacement.
What material is used for repiping?
PEX (cross-linked polyethylene) is the most common choice for repiping in North Texas. It’s flexible, corrosion-resistant, and less expensive than copper. It also handles the freeze-thaw cycles better.
