When Repiping Makes More Sense Than Repairs

Quick Answer

When should a house be repiped?

Repiping is worth considering after two or more slab or pinhole leaks, when copper shows widespread corrosion, when water pressure keeps dropping from scale build-up, or when the home still has galvanized or polybutylene pipe. PEX is commonly used because it resists hard-water scale.

Copper was the standard for decades, but Southern Nevada's hard water and high pressure are tough on it. When a home starts having one leak after another, each repair fixes a single spot while the rest of the pipe keeps thinning. Whole-house repiping with PEX replaces the entire supply system with a material that resists scale, flexes with the house and is fitted with fewer joints.

We usually recommend a repipe after repeated slab leaks or several pipe leak repairs within a short time. New lines are run overhead through the attic and walls, which also means future slab leak repair is no longer a concern because water no longer travels under the foundation.

  • New shut-off valves at every fixture
  • Small, planned drywall openings
  • Full pressure test and inspection

Signs Your Home Needs Repiping

If several of these sound familiar, it is worth getting a repipe estimate.

Repeated slab or pinhole leaks

Two or more leaks in a short period usually mean more are coming; a rising water bill is often the first sign.

Blue-green corrosion on copper

Visible corrosion at fittings and valves that can lead to a burst pipe.

Low or uneven water pressure

Scale build-up narrowing pipes throughout the home.

Discoloured or metallic-tasting water

Signs of internal pipe corrosion.

Galvanized or polybutylene pipe

Older materials known for failure.

Frequent repair visits

Repeated repairs adding up over time.

FAQ

Whole-House Repiping FAQ

How long does a whole-house repipe take?

Most single-family homes in Las Vegas are repiped in a few days, depending on size and layout.

Is PEX good for Las Vegas hard water?

Yes. PEX resists scale build-up and corrosion far better than copper in hard water.

Will I have water during the repipe?

In most cases water is restored at the end of each work day.

How much drywall needs to be opened?

Routes are planned to keep openings small, usually at fixtures and a few access points.

Does repiping stop slab leaks?

Yes. New lines run overhead, so water no longer travels through or under the slab.
