What Does a Home Repiping Look Like?

If your home in San Diego County is suffering from rusty water, chronically low pressure, or persistent pipe leaks, a whole-house repipe may be necessary. At Plumbing Plus, we understand that the thought of repiping a house can seem daunting. The process is much cleaner and faster than you might imagine. We utilize modern methods to minimize disruption. Here is a step-by-step look at what home repiping involves.

Assessment and Preparation

Assessment and Preparation

The first step is a thorough inspection of your current plumbing system to determine if a full repipe is required. We determine the best materials (like PEX or copper) and map the most efficient routes for the new pipes. Before work begins, we ensure the municipal water supply is shut off and protect all furniture and surrounding areas from any debris.

Strategic Access Points

Instead of tearing out all your drywall, our experienced technicians create small, strategic openings in walls and ceilings. This allows us to access the old pipe network with minimal intrusion. Our goal is to run the new system behind the scenes, connecting the new piping from the main line to all your existing fixtures with surgical precision.

Pressure Test and Restoration

Once the new system is fully installed, we conduct a final pressure test to guarantee there are zero leaks and that the system is functioning perfectly. Only after a successful test do we begin closing the wall access points. We patch and seal the drywall, leaving the area clean and prepared for your final paint and finishes.
