Here's How We Replace Your Pipes

First, we inspect your current plumbing system to see exactly what needs to be replaced. We’ll show you the problem areas and explain which pipes are causing your water pressure and quality issues. Next, we create a plan that minimizes disruption to your daily routine. We work in sections so you’re never completely without water. Most homes can be repiped in 1-3 days depending on size and complexity. We install new copper or PEX pipes that resist corrosion and handle temperature changes better than your old pipes ever could. After installation, we test everything thoroughly to make sure your water pressure is strong and consistent throughout your home.

What You Get With Our Service

You get a complete pipe replacement using modern materials that last decades, not years. We use copper pipes that resist extreme weather and temperature changes, or flexible PEX pipes that won’t crack or corrode. Every repiping job includes thorough testing to ensure proper water pressure and flow. We clean up completely and make sure your home looks the same when we leave – just with better plumbing. Placerville’s older homes often have unique challenges with pipe routing and access. We’ve handled everything from Victorian-era houses downtown to mid-century homes in the hills. Our experience with local building styles means we know how to work efficiently without damaging your walls or landscaping.

How do I know if my Placerville home needs repiping?

You’ll notice several warning signs that indicate it’s time for repiping. Low water pressure throughout your home is a major red flag, especially if it’s gotten worse over time. Rusty or discolored water coming from your taps means your pipes are corroding from the inside. Strange odors or metallic tastes in your water are also clear indicators. If your water bill keeps climbing without explanation, you likely have hidden leaks in old pipes. Frequent clogs and slow drains can mean your pipes have narrowed from buildup and corrosion. Placerville homes built before 1980 often have galvanized steel or cast iron pipes that are reaching the end of their useful life. If you’re dealing with multiple plumbing issues or emergency repairs, full repiping is usually more cost-effective than constant patch jobs.

What type of pipes should I use for repiping in Placerville?

Copper pipes are the gold standard for Placerville homes because they handle our temperature swings well and resist corrosion. They’re durable, long-lasting, and provide excellent water quality. Copper is especially good for homes with hard water, which is common in our area. PEX pipes are another excellent option – they’re flexible, resist scale buildup, and are easier to install in tight spaces. This can save on labor costs and reduce disruption to your home. PEX also handles freezing temperatures better than rigid pipes. The best choice depends on your home’s specific needs, your budget, and local building requirements. We’ll assess your situation and recommend the material that gives you the best long-term value. Both options are massive improvements over old galvanized steel or cast iron pipes.

How long does a complete repiping job take in Placerville?

Most single-story homes can be repiped in 1-2 days, while larger two-story homes typically take 2-3 days. The timeline depends on your home’s size, how accessible your existing pipes are, and whether we encounter any surprises during the process. We work in sections to minimize disruption to your daily routine. You’ll never be completely without water – we make sure you have access to at least one bathroom and kitchen sink throughout the process. We coordinate with you to work around your schedule as much as possible. Placerville’s older homes sometimes present unique challenges with tight crawl spaces or unusual pipe routing. We factor these considerations into our timeline estimate during the initial inspection. We’d rather give you a realistic timeframe upfront than rush the job and compromise quality.

How much does repiping cost for a Placerville home?

Repiping costs vary significantly based on your home’s size, the type of pipes we’re replacing, and how accessible your current plumbing is. A typical single-story home ranges from $4,000 to $8,000, while larger homes can cost $8,000 to $15,000 or more. The investment pays for itself through lower water bills, fewer emergency repairs, and improved home value. Many Placerville homeowners find that the monthly savings on water bills and avoided repair costs make repiping surprisingly affordable when spread over time. We provide free estimates with transparent, upfront pricing. No surprises, no hidden fees. We’ll walk through your home, assess what needs to be done, and give you an honest quote before any work begins. Many customers tell us our final cost was actually less than they expected.

Will repiping disrupt my daily routine significantly?

We minimize disruption by working in phases and maintaining access to essential fixtures. You’ll always have at least one working bathroom and kitchen sink throughout the project. We schedule work around your family’s needs and can often work while you’re at work or school. Most of the work happens behind walls, in crawl spaces, or in utility areas. We protect your floors and furniture, and we clean up thoroughly each day. You might hear some noise during working hours, but it’s not constant hammering – much of repiping work is actually quite methodical and quiet. The temporary inconvenience is minimal compared to the ongoing frustration of low water pressure, discolored water, and surprise pipe failures. Most Placerville homeowners tell us they wish they’d done it sooner once they experience the difference new pipes make in their daily lives.

Do you offer emergency repiping services in Placerville?

Yes, we provide 24/7 emergency plumbing services when pipes fail unexpectedly. Placerville’s winter weather can cause sudden pipe bursts, especially in older homes with aging plumbing systems. We respond quickly to minimize water damage and get your water restored. Emergency pipe repairs are temporary solutions to stop immediate damage. However, if multiple pipes are failing or you’re dealing with systemic issues throughout your home, we’ll recommend full repiping to prevent future emergencies. We keep emergency repair costs as reasonable as possible, and we’ll credit emergency service fees toward full repiping work if you decide to proceed. Our goal is to solve your problem permanently, not just patch it temporarily. Emergency situations often reveal the true condition of your entire plumbing system.
