What is Repiping?
Repiping is the process of replacing the old or damaged pipes in your home’s plumbing system with new, more durable materials. Over time, pipes can corrode due to age, deterioration, or poor-quality materials, leading to leaks, low water pressure, or even water damage. In such cases, repipe may be necessary to restore the functionality and security of your plumbing system.
Homeowners may notice several signs that indicate a repipe is needed, such as frequent leaks, rusty or discolored water, reduced water pressure, or unusual noises coming from the pipes. If your house is over 50 years old and still has its original plumbing, it may be time to consider it, even if there are no immediate issues. By repiping your home, you can ensure a more efficient and reliable plumbing system, minimizing the risk of costly repairs and water damage.
Hiring a professional plumber for a repipe is critical, as the process involves an extensive understanding of plumbing systems and local building codes. Our skilled plumber will assess your current system, recommend the best materials for your home, and carry out the installation with minimal disruption to your daily routine. It is an investment that not only solves immediate plumbing problems but also enhances the overall value and safety of your home.

The Long-Term Benefits For Your Home
Repiping your home comes with numerous long-term benefits that make it a worthwhile investment. One of the most immediate improvements is enhanced water quality. Old pipes can accumulate rust, sediment, and other contaminants that affect the taste and safety of your water. With new pipes, you’ll enjoy cleaner, fresher water throughout your home. It often leads to better water pressure and improved water quality.
A repipe can reduce the risk of future leaks or water damage, saving you money on costly repairs in the long run. With modern, durable materials, your new plumbing system is designed to last for decades, giving you peace of mind knowing that your home is protected from plumbing failures.
The benefits are numerous and include:
- An End to Leaks: Water will run smoothly from pipe to faucet.
- Crystal Clear Water: No more odd colors or debris in your glass of water.
- Consistent Water Pressure: Not too high. Not too low. Just right.
- More Equity in Your Home: New pipes appeal greatly to potential homebuyers.
- Quality Plumbing that Lasts for Years: If you repipe now, you won’t have to worry about issues for years to come.

What to Expect During the Repipe Process
Initial Consultation
Every job starts with a visit to your home. We look at the plumbing system, listen to what issues you’ve been having, and check the overall condition of the pipes. It’s not always obvious whether a full repipe is needed, sometimes a partial repipe does the trick. Either way, you’ll get a straightforward explanation and a clear recommendation.
Customized Estimate & Planning
Once we’ve taken a look at everything, we’ll send over a clear estimate that lays out what needs to be done, what materials we’ll be using, and how long the job should take. We’ll also work with you to schedule the project at a time that’s convenient.
Preparing the Job Site
Before we start, we make sure your home is properly protected—covering floors, moving furniture as needed, and prepping any areas where we’ll need access. Before work begins, floors, furniture, and belongings are carefully protected. Access points are created in walls, ceilings, or floors to reach the old pipes, and drywall is carefully removed where necessary.
Removing Old Pipes & Installing New Ones
Then we get to work removing the old pipes and installing new ones. Most of the work happens behind the walls and ceilings, but we do our best to keep the disruption to a minimum. After everything is in place, we pressure-test the new lines, inspect for leaks, and make sure the system is running like it should. We finish by patching up the walls and leaving the space clean.
Testing & Inspection
Once the installation is complete, the system is pressure-tested to ensure everything is working correctly and leak-free. Inspections are done to verify everything is up to standard.

Types of Pipes We Use
The type of piping used in your home can greatly impact performance, durability, and cost. At our company, we primarily use:
- PEX is the most popular choice these days. It’s flexible, easy to work with, and holds up well over time. It’s also one of the most cost-effective options for residential repipes.
- CPVC is a rigid plastic pipe that’s resistant to corrosion and heat. It’s a good option for hot water lines and has been used in homes for decades.
- Copper is more traditional and very durable, but it comes at a higher price. It’s especially good in areas where water quality is high, and it’s built to last.
We’ll help you choose the right material based on your budget, home layout, and long-term goals.
Five Signs It’s Time to Repipe Your Home
Since most pipes dwell within the internal parts of your household, it can be difficult to tell whether it’s time to replace them. Luckily, there are some telling signs that it’s time:
Your “current” pipes may be original to your home. If your home is older it may be time to replace your pipes.
Small creaking sounds are one thing, but you should be concerned if your pipes are making louder noises than usual.
Does your water produce a foul smell? Is it an odd or rusty color? Do you notice particles floating in it? Something is wrong with your pipes if you wouldn't drink, wash, or bathe in your water.
Constant or regular water leaks indicate cracked, busted, or corroded pipes. At that point, you must replace your pipes.
Are you paying a higher monthly water bill even though your water usage remains the same? If so, it might be because your pipes are leaking or corroded.

David and his team did an awesome job repiping my home after the Houston freeze. He was always on time and took the time to explain everything he was doing. Kenda, who works in the office, was beyond professional and always responded to my calls and emails quickly. I would highly recommend Redfin for all your plumbing needs. Hats off to Redfin!!
We’ve used Redfin twice for plumbing issues at our home and they have been wonderful to work with each time. After the recent winter storm they were honest, upfront, and communicated well to get our issues fixed. The staff is awesome and the work is top notch. We will continue to call Redfin for our plumbing needs!
Great company to work with. Did what they said they were going to do, on time, very professional. I would definitely recommend them to anyone looking for a reputable plumbing company. They installed a water heater, repaired a line and installed emergency turn off valves.
Thomas was extremely polite and professional. He took care of a really messy pipe clog for me! Also they had a great special on unclogging drain pipes. Highly recommend this company.

How Much Does It Cost to Repipe a Home in Houston?
There’s no one-size-fits-all price for a repipe, but a few things can swing the cost up or down:
- The size of your home: More square footage usually means more pipe and more labor.
- How easy it is to access the plumbing: Homes with multiple stories, tight crawlspaces, or difficult layouts can take longer and require more work.
- Type of material: As mentioned, PEX is the most affordable; copper is the most expensive.
- How much of the house needs a new pipe: A full repipe is a bigger investment than just replacing a single bathroom or section of the house.
- Drywall and finish work: Some homeowners prefer we handle wall patching and painting; others take care of it themselves. That choice affects the overall quote.
If you’re not sure whether your house needs a full repipe or just a few lines replaced, the next best step is to schedule a consultation. We’ll give you a clear idea of what’s going on and what it would take to fix it, without the sales pressure.
