You turn on your faucet and get the water pressure you’ve been missing for years. No more brown, metallic-tasting water coming out of your taps. No more emergency calls about burst pipes flooding your floors.
Your monthly water bill drops because you’re not paying for water that’s leaking behind walls. Your morning shower actually has enough pressure to rinse shampoo out of your hair. You stop worrying about what’s going to break next.
That’s what happens when you replace old, corroded pipes with modern materials built to last decades. Your home’s plumbing works the way it’s supposed to work.
We’ve been solving plumbing problems in the Sacramento area for over 24 years. We’re a licensed and insured family-owned company that understands College Glen’s unique challenges with aging infrastructure.
Many homes in your neighborhood were built when copper pipes were standard, and those pipes are now showing their age. We’ve repiped hundreds of homes just like yours, dealing with the same galvanized steel and copper pipe issues that plague older Sacramento County properties.
Our team shows up on time, explains what we’re doing, and gives you transparent pricing upfront. No surprises, no inflated estimates. We treat your home like it’s our own because we live and work in this community too.
First, we inspect your current plumbing system to see exactly what needs replacing. We’ll show you the problem areas and explain which pipes are causing your issues. No technical jargon, just straight talk about what’s wrong and how to fix it.
Next, we map out the most efficient way to run new pipes through your home with minimal wall cutting. We use either PEX or copper depending on your specific needs and budget. PEX is flexible and can snake through walls easier. Copper lasts longer but costs more.
During installation, we work systematically through your house, replacing old pipes section by section. We keep disruption to a minimum and make sure you have water service restored each evening. After the new pipes are in, we patch and repair any drywall we had to access, leaving your home looking like we were never there.

Your repiping project includes complete removal of old, failing pipes and installation of new materials throughout your home’s water supply system. We handle all permits, inspections, and city requirements specific to Sacramento County building codes.
College Glen homes often have unique challenges with older foundation types and tight crawl spaces. Our experience in your neighborhood means we know how to work efficiently in these conditions without unnecessary demolition or mess.
We also include all wall patching and repair work in our repiping service. Many companies subcontract this work or charge extra, but we handle everything from start to finish. You get one company, one point of contact, and one warranty covering the entire project.
The materials we use are designed for California’s water conditions and seismic requirements. Whether you choose PEX for flexibility and cost savings or copper for maximum longevity, you’re getting pipes that will serve your family for decades.
Most single-family homes in College Glen take 2-4 days to complete, depending on the size and complexity of your plumbing system. We work during normal business hours and restore your water service each evening so you’re not left without water overnight.
The timeline depends on factors like how many bathrooms you have, whether we need to access pipes in crawl spaces or attics, and what type of new piping material you choose. PEX installation typically goes faster than copper because it’s more flexible and requires fewer connections.
We’ll give you a detailed timeline during our initial consultation so you know exactly what to expect each day. Most homeowners are surprised how quickly the work goes and how little disruption there actually is to their daily routine.
The most common signs are decreasing water pressure throughout your home, discolored or rusty water, and frequent pipe leaks. If your water tastes metallic or has a strange odor, that’s often corrosion from old pipes contaminating your water supply.
Another major red flag is when your water bills keep climbing even though your usage hasn’t changed. Small leaks behind walls waste thousands of gallons per month, and you’re paying for water that never makes it to your faucets.
If your home was built before 1990, there’s a good chance you still have original galvanized steel or copper pipes that are nearing the end of their useful life. These materials typically last 40-70 years, so homes in College Glen built in the 1970s and 1980s are prime candidates for repiping.
Both materials work well in College Glen, but they have different advantages. PEX is more affordable, installs faster, and handles temperature changes better than copper. It’s also quieter and less likely to develop pinhole leaks from Sacramento’s water chemistry.
Copper lasts longer—potentially 70+ years versus 25-40 for PEX—and some homeowners prefer it for aesthetic reasons or resale value. However, copper costs 40-50% more than PEX and requires more labor to install because it’s rigid and needs more connections.
For most College Glen homeowners, PEX offers the best value. It handles our local water conditions well, installs with less wall cutting, and gives you decades of reliable service at a lower upfront cost. We’ll evaluate your specific situation and help you make the decision that’s right for your home and budget.
Repiping costs in the Sacramento area typically range from $4,000-$15,000 depending on your home’s size, the complexity of your plumbing system, and the materials you choose. Single-story homes with simpler layouts cost less than multi-story homes with multiple bathrooms.
PEX repiping generally costs less than copper because the material is cheaper and installs faster. However, the biggest cost factors are usually the size of your home and how accessible your existing pipes are. Homes with easy crawl space access cost less than homes where we need to open walls extensively.
We provide free estimates and transparent pricing upfront, so you’ll know exactly what your project will cost before we start any work. We also offer financing options for larger projects because we understand repiping is a significant investment in your home’s future.
Yes, repiping typically provides a strong return on investment, especially in College Glen’s competitive housing market where buyers look for homes with updated systems. New plumbing is a major selling point because it means the next owner won’t face expensive plumbing emergencies.
Updated plumbing also makes your home more attractive to buyers and can help it sell faster. Many buyers specifically avoid homes with old galvanized pipes or known plumbing issues because they don’t want to deal with the expense and hassle of repiping.
Beyond resale value, repiping improves your quality of life immediately. Better water pressure, cleaner water, and the peace of mind that comes from reliable plumbing are benefits you’ll enjoy every day. Most homeowners tell us they wish they had done it sooner once they experience the difference.
Yes, we handle all permits and coordinate inspections with Sacramento County building department as part of our repiping service. We’re familiar with local requirements and make sure your project meets all current plumbing codes.
The permit process typically takes a few days to process, and we schedule inspections at the appropriate stages of your project. Most repiping projects require at least one inspection after installation but before we close up walls, and sometimes a final inspection after completion.
We include all permit costs in our upfront pricing so there are no surprises. Our long experience with Sacramento County’s inspection process means we know exactly what inspectors look for and how to get your project approved quickly without delays or callbacks.
