What’s Involved in Repiping a House?
Many people put off repiping because they think it’s expensive and too much of a hassle, but it’s not as bad as you might think. Here’s how we do it.
Planning and Inspection: Plumbers start by inspecting the current plumbing system to understand the layout and identify the types of pipes used. They then plan the repiping process, including what kind of pipes to install.
Access: To replace the pipes, our plumbers might need to create access points, which involve removing sections of walls, ceilings, and floors to reach the old pipes and replace them.
Removal: Once they gain access, the plumber can remove the old pipes.
Installation: New pipes are then installed according to the planned layout and to comply with local building codes.
Testing: Once the new system is installed, the plumber will test for leaks and correct water pressure.
Restoration: Finally, the plumbers repair the access points and finish them as closely as possible to the existing surfaces.
The good news is that repiping isn’t as invasive or disruptive as you think. You can stay in your home for the entire process, and most can be done in a day.
