How We Replace Your Home's Pipes

First, we do a complete inspection of your current plumbing system using our advanced camera equipment when needed. We’ll show you exactly what needs to be replaced and explain why, so you understand the scope of work before we start. No guesswork, no hidden problems discovered halfway through the job. Next, we map out the most efficient route for your new pipes throughout your home. Modern PEX piping is flexible, so we can often run new lines without tearing up as much of your walls and floors as you might expect. We protect your furniture and floors before starting any work. The actual installation typically takes 1-3 days depending on your home’s size and complexity. We install new pipes, test everything thoroughly for leaks and proper pressure, then make sure your water flow is better than it’s been in years. Finally, we patch and paint any areas we opened up, leaving your home clean and ready to enjoy your upgraded plumbing system.

Complete Repiping Services Rescue

What's Included In Your Repipe

Your complete repiping project includes removal of all old pipes and installation of new PEX or copper lines throughout your entire home. We handle all permits required by El Dorado County and ensure everything meets California’s updated 2025 plumbing codes, including the stricter lead content requirements. Rescue homes often face unique water pressure challenges due to the area’s elevation changes and the fact that many have undersized original piping. We properly size your new pipes to maintain strong pressure at every fixture and install the seismic bracing required by California code for earthquake safety. The job includes connecting all your existing fixtures, thorough leak testing, and restoring full water service the same day we finish. We repair any drywall or flooring we need to access, clean up completely, and provide warranties on both materials and labor. You also get our commitment to stand behind our work long after the job is done.

How do I know if my Rescue home needs repiping?

If your home was built before 2000, there’s a good chance your pipes are showing their age, especially if you’re dealing with the galvanized steel or polybutylene pipes common in older Rescue homes. Look for brown or rust-colored water when you first turn on faucets, particularly in the morning after water has sat in the pipes overnight. Low water pressure throughout the house is another clear warning sign, especially if it’s gotten worse over time. Check any exposed pipes in your basement, crawl space, or utility areas for rust, corrosion, or mineral buildup. If you see flaking metal or green stains on copper pipes, that’s corrosion eating away at your plumbing from the inside. Frequent small leaks are often a sign that your entire pipe system is failing, not just one section. Many Rescue homes have galvanized steel pipes installed in the 70s and 80s that typically last 40-50 years, so if your home is approaching that age with original plumbing, it’s smart to plan for repiping before you face an emergency.

What's the difference between PEX and copper repiping?

PEX is a flexible cross-linked polyethylene pipe that’s become the gold standard for residential repiping services. It costs significantly less than copper, installs much faster, and performs exceptionally well in California’s seismic conditions. PEX won’t corrode, won’t scale up with mineral deposits like our hard water can cause, and won’t burst as easily if it ever freezes. Copper is the traditional choice and some homeowners still prefer it for main water lines. It’s more expensive and takes longer to install because every joint has to be carefully soldered. Copper can corrode over time, especially with the mineral content in much of California’s water supply. For most Rescue homes, PEX is the smart choice that meets all current California plumbing codes while costing significantly less and lasting longer in our local conditions. We can walk you through the pros and cons of each material based on your specific home layout, water conditions, and budget requirements.

How long does a complete home repipe take?

Most single-story homes in Rescue take 1-2 days for a complete repipe, while two-story homes typically require 2-3 days. The timeline depends on your home’s square footage, how many fixtures need to be reconnected, and how accessible your existing pipes are once we start working. We always restore your water service the same day we begin work. You might have limited access during working hours while we’re actively installing new pipes, but you’ll have full water service every evening. We coordinate closely with you to minimize disruption to your daily routine and work around your schedule when possible. The key to staying on schedule is thorough planning upfront. We map out the entire job before we start, order all materials in advance, and handle permit scheduling with El Dorado County. This prevents delays once work begins, though county inspections can add a day or two to the overall timeline without affecting your water service.

Will repiping damage my walls and floors?

We minimize wall and floor damage by taking advantage of PEX piping’s flexibility. Unlike rigid copper pipes that require straight runs, PEX can bend around corners and snake through existing spaces in your home. This means significantly fewer holes in your walls and much less disruption overall. When we do need to open walls or access areas under floors, we cut precise access holes and patch them professionally when the job is complete. We protect your floors, furniture, and belongings throughout the entire process. Most Rescue homeowners are surprised at how little damage there actually is compared to what they expected. We include professional drywall repair and touch-up painting in our repiping service. If you have custom paint colors or special finishes, we’ll work with you to match everything perfectly. Our goal is to leave your home looking exactly like we were never there, just with dramatically better plumbing performance.

How much does repiping cost in Rescue?

Repiping costs in Rescue typically range from $6,000 to $15,000 depending on your home’s size, the number of fixtures that need reconnection, and whether you choose PEX or copper materials. Two-story homes cost more due to additional piping runs and the extra labor involved in accessing upper levels. This investment pays for itself over time through eliminated emergency repair calls, no more water damage from failed pipes, and increased home value. Many Rescue homeowners discover that complete repiping actually costs less than they expected, especially when compared to the ongoing expense of patch repairs and potential water damage. We provide detailed free estimates with no obligation or pressure. We’ll thoroughly inspect your current plumbing system, explain exactly what work needs to be done, and give you a comprehensive written quote that covers everything. No surprise charges, no hidden fees, just transparent pricing for quality work that protects your home for decades.

Do you offer emergency repiping services in Rescue?

Absolutely. We provide 24/7 emergency plumbing services throughout Rescue and all of El Dorado County. If you experience a major pipe failure that’s flooding your home or causing water damage, we can respond immediately to stop the problem and restore your water service. Emergency repiping typically focuses on the failed section first to stop immediate damage, then we schedule the complete home repipe once the crisis is under control. We keep common pipe materials and fittings on our service trucks so we can make permanent repairs immediately, not just temporary band-aid fixes that fail again. We understand that pipe failures never happen at convenient times. That’s why we’re available around the clock and can typically respond to Rescue emergencies within an hour of your call. Our goal is to protect your home from further damage and restore your peace of mind as quickly as possible, then help you plan the complete repiping solution that prevents future emergencies.
