Your water pressure comes back strong. No more rust-colored water coming out of your faucets. No more surprise leaks that flood your floors and cost you hundreds in water bills.
You get consistent hot water to every fixture. Your showers actually work the way they should. Your washing machine fills faster, and your dishwasher gets the pressure it needs to clean properly.
The constant worry about your next plumbing disaster goes away. You know your pipes are built to last decades, not months.
We’ve been serving El Dorado County homeowners for years, and we understand what Camino houses need. We’re your neighbors, not some out-of-town company that disappears after the job.
We know the challenges that come with older homes in this area. Many houses here were built when galvanized steel was standard, and those pipes are reaching the end of their useful life.
When we quote you a price, that’s what you pay. No surprise fees, no diagnostic charges that get tacked on later. We explain exactly what we’re doing and why, so you understand what you’re getting.
First, we inspect your current plumbing to see what needs replacing and what can stay. We map out the most efficient route for new pipes that minimizes wall damage and disruption to your daily routine.
We typically use PEX for most residential repiping because it’s flexible, durable, and costs less than copper while lasting just as long. For specific applications, we might recommend copper, and we’ll explain why.
The actual work happens during the day, but we turn your water back on every evening so you can shower, cook, and use your home normally. Most repiping jobs in Camino take one to three days, depending on your home’s size and complexity.

We replace all your old water supply lines with modern materials that won’t corrode or restrict flow. This includes the main lines and all the branches that feed your fixtures.
You get new shut-off valves at key locations, so future maintenance becomes much easier. We install everything to current code standards, which means better performance and compliance for years to come.
In Camino’s climate, we account for the temperature swings between summer heat and winter cold. The elevation here means occasional freezing, so we position and insulate pipes appropriately to prevent problems.
Most repiping projects in Camino run between $8,000 and $15,000, depending on your home’s size and the materials you choose. PEX repiping typically costs less than copper, and single-story homes cost less than multi-story houses.
The final price depends on factors like how many bathrooms you have, whether we need to access pipes under concrete slabs, and what permit fees El Dorado County requires. We give you an upfront quote that includes everything, so you know exactly what you’re paying.
Remember that repiping is usually much more cost-effective than dealing with repeated leak repairs, water damage, and the ongoing problems that come with old pipes.
For most Camino homes, PEX is the better choice. It costs less than copper, installs faster, and lasts 80-100 years. PEX is flexible, so it handles ground movement better, and it won’t corrode like old galvanized steel.
Copper is still excellent for specific applications, especially where pipes might be exposed or where local code requires it. Copper typically lasts 50-70 years and handles high temperatures well.
We’ll recommend the best material for your specific situation based on your home’s layout, your budget, and your long-term plans. Both options are major improvements over old galvanized or lead pipes.
Most repiping jobs in Camino take 1-3 days. You can absolutely stay in your home during the work. We shut off water during working hours but turn it back on every evening so you can shower, cook, and use your bathrooms normally.
We work efficiently to minimize disruption. Our crews arrive early, work steadily through the day, and clean up before leaving. You’ll have full water service restored by dinner time each day.
Single-story homes typically take less time than multi-story houses. Homes with challenging layouts or hard-to-access pipes might take an extra day, but we’ll let you know the timeline upfront.
Low water pressure throughout the house is the biggest sign. If multiple fixtures have weak flow, your pipes are probably restricted by corrosion or mineral buildup.
Discolored water, especially rust-colored or brown water, means your pipes are deteriorating from the inside. Frequent leaks are another clear indicator that your plumbing system is failing.
If your home was built before 1980 and still has original plumbing, it’s probably time to repipe. Galvanized steel pipes typically start failing after 40-50 years, and many Camino homes are reaching that age.
Yes, repiping typically adds significant value to your home. Buyers pay more for houses with modern plumbing because they know they won’t face expensive pipe problems for decades.
Updated plumbing is especially valuable in Camino’s market, where many homes still have older systems. A complete repipe shows that the major infrastructure is solid and reliable.
Beyond resale value, you’ll save money on water bills, avoid costly emergency repairs, and eliminate the stress of dealing with failing pipes. The peace of mind alone is worth the investment.
Yes, we handle all permits and coordinate inspections with El Dorado County. Repiping requires permits, and we make sure everything is done properly and passes inspection the first time.
We’re familiar with local code requirements and inspector expectations. Our work consistently passes inspection because we follow proper procedures and use quality materials.
The permit and inspection costs are included in our upfront quote, so you don’t get surprised by additional fees. We take care of the paperwork so you don’t have to deal with county offices.
