All New Pipes In Under A Week

Every element of your home’s plumbing system has a finite life. Repiping can be more sensible and economical in the long run than dragging out your plumbing hassles and worries with an extensive patchwork of repairs. If you’re ready to be done with duct tape remedies, leaky pipes, water hammer, water quality issues, low water pressure, mysterious dripping sounds, sewer gases, or other plumbing issues, then take the time to have it done right.

TE Certified completes house whole-house re-pipes in under a week, using time-tested and field-proven materials.

Reasons to Repipe A Home Include:

Age and Function

It may simply be time to update non-functioning, obsolete, and/or poised-to-fail plumbing. This is often the case with homes that have seen many decades of use.
But not all newer homes are exempt; poor workmanship, improperly installed plumbing, and/or bad materials can make a house an excellent candidate for repiping well before its prime.
Investing now in your home’s plumbing system may save you thousands in property damage costs later.

Damage

Plumbing pipes are commonly weakened by years of overly high water pressure and other types of damage, including freezing temperatures, oxidation, electrolysis, vandalism, and theft.
Unfortunately, thieves will disable most (sometimes all) of a home’s plumbing system, just to make a few dollars on metal recycling.
During a whole-house repiping job is also an excellent time to insulate your plumbing system to avoid future damage from freezing temperatures and help defray energy costs.

Water Quality

If your tap water is testing high for unwanted chemical or metal contamination, the problem may be in your home. Some materials used in plumbing pipes, fittings, valves, and soldering back in the day are no longer holding up.
Galvanized steel pipes, in particular, have corrosive components that can leach heavy metals into your drinking water.

Polybutylene

This piping, once involved in a notorious class-action lawsuit, is synonymous with home damage.
Polybutylene is noted on professional home inspection reports and seller’s property disclosure documents as it is considered a known hazard that significantly impacts a home’s value.
Polybutylene piping can cause severe water damage – even after years without issues.
The leaks can be small (think pin-hole size) and go unnoticed behind walls and ceilings until the damage to the paint, drywall, flooring, and even structural damage has run into the thousands of dollars.
Other leaks are more dramatic, as entire sections of pipe crack open or fittings burst apart.

Galvanized Steel

Galvanized steel pipes are designed with zinc linings that erode with time.
This erosion causes sediment buildup within the pipes resulting in diminished water flow, leaks, lead-contamination, and rust-colored water.

We overhaul plumbing systems with safe, high-quality, and long-lasting materials. This includes everything from the in-ground pipe running from the city supply line to all the piping, valves, and fittings that make up the water system within your home – we’ve got you covered.

Whole Home Repiping FAQs

Will I need to move out during a whole home repipe?

You don’t have to but it would be most convenient for you if you did. We try to keep sections of the plumbing system active throughout the whole process but its not always feasible.

How does repining affect my home’s water quality and pressure?

We only recommend repiping when the existing system has been compromised, and the materials we use will be higher quality than what was originally installed. If we’re adding a whole-home filter during the repipe, that’s an added upgrade to your system. You won’t lose water pressure — in fact, you might even notice an improvement!

How do I know if my home needs to be repiped instead of just repaired?

Homes should be repiped if they have had multiple pinhole leaks that have steadily increased throughout the years. If the water piping in the home still has grey polybutylene, homeowners should consider repiping the home sooner rather than later.

What types of piping materials do you use for repiping projects?

Typically, TE will repipe the home with PEX (cross linked polyethylene). TE can also repipe the home in copper, however, copper is typically more invasive and more costly.
