We’ve been serving Northern California homeowners for over a century. We’re not a fly-by-night operation or a franchise that showed up last year. We’re a family business that’s been passed down through five generations of skilled plumbers.
We understand Colfax homes because we’ve been working on them for decades. Many homes in the area were built when galvanized pipes were standard, and we’ve helped hundreds of homeowners transition to modern plumbing systems that actually work.
Our team knows the unique challenges of repiping older homes in this region. We’ve developed efficient methods that minimize disruption to your daily routine while delivering lasting results you can count on.
We start with a thorough assessment of your current plumbing system. Our technician will identify which pipes need replacement and explain exactly what needs to be done. You’ll get a clear, upfront price with no surprises.
Before any work begins, we protect your home with drop cloths and take steps to minimize mess. We then systematically replace your old pipes with new PEX or copper piping, depending on your specific needs and budget. Our flexible PEX installation often requires fewer wall openings than traditional methods.
Most residential repipes are completed within one to two days. We handle all the permits and inspections, and our team includes wall patching and cleanup in the service. You’ll have your water back on quickly, and your home will be left clean and ready to use.

Your repiping service includes complete replacement of your home’s water supply lines with new, modern materials. We use high-quality PEX or copper piping that’s designed to last 50+ years without the corrosion issues that plague galvanized systems.
In Colfax, many homes still have the original galvanized pipes installed in the 1950s and 60s. These pipes are now well beyond their expected lifespan and are causing the low water pressure, discolored water, and frequent leaks you’re experiencing. Our repiping service addresses these problems permanently.
We handle all aspects of the project, including obtaining necessary permits, connecting to existing fixtures, pressure testing the new system, and arranging for final inspections. Wall patching and basic restoration are included, so you don’t need to coordinate with multiple contractors to get your home back to normal.
The cost to repipe a house in Colfax typically ranges from $4,000 to $8,000 for most homes, depending on size and complexity. PEX repiping generally costs $2,000 to $5,000 less than copper repiping for the same home.
Several factors affect the final price: the number of fixtures in your home, accessibility of existing pipes, and whether you choose PEX or copper materials. Homes with galvanized pipes often require complete replacement rather than partial repairs, but this investment eliminates ongoing repair costs and potential water damage from failed pipes.
We provide upfront, transparent pricing with no hidden fees. The quote we give you is what you’ll pay, and we include all permits, materials, labor, and basic wall patching in our repiping services.
For most Colfax homeowners, PEX offers the best value and performance. PEX costs significantly less than copper, installs faster with less wall damage, and provides excellent durability with a 50+ year lifespan.
PEX is particularly well-suited to California conditions because it’s flexible and resistant to earthquake damage. It also handles temperature changes better than rigid materials and won’t corrode like galvanized pipes. The flexibility means we can often route PEX through existing wall cavities without extensive drywall removal.
Copper is still an excellent choice if budget isn’t a primary concern. It lasts slightly longer than PEX and some homeowners prefer it for aesthetic reasons. Both materials are significant upgrades over galvanized pipes and will solve the water pressure, water quality, and reliability issues you’re experiencing.
Most residential repipes in Colfax are completed within one to two days. The exact timeline depends on your home’s size, the number of fixtures, and accessibility of existing pipes.
We work efficiently to minimize disruption to your daily routine. Our team arrives prepared with all necessary materials and tools, and we coordinate the work to restore water service as quickly as possible. You’ll typically have water back on the same day we start, even if finishing work continues the next day.
The process includes removing old pipes, installing new piping, connecting fixtures, pressure testing the system, and handling basic wall repairs. We schedule inspections and coordinate with the city to ensure everything is completed properly and up to code.
The most common signs include reduced water pressure, discolored or rusty water, frequent leaks, and metallic taste in your water. If your Colfax home was built before 1970 and still has original plumbing, your galvanized pipes are likely nearing or past their expected lifespan.
Brown or reddish water when you first turn on faucets is a clear indicator of rust inside the pipes. Low water pressure throughout the house suggests mineral buildup is restricting flow. Frequent plumbing repairs, especially leaks at pipe joints, indicate the pipes are deteriorating and will continue to fail.
If you’re experiencing multiple symptoms, complete repiping is usually more cost-effective than ongoing repairs. Galvanized pipes that are 50+ years old will continue to deteriorate, leading to more leaks, potential water damage, and health concerns from contaminated water.
Yes, we handle all permits and inspections as part of our repiping service. This includes obtaining the necessary permits from Placer County, scheduling required inspections, and ensuring all work meets local building codes.
Our team is familiar with Colfax’s permitting requirements and has established relationships with local inspectors. We coordinate the entire process so you don’t have to deal with paperwork or scheduling conflicts. This is included in our service price with no additional fees.
After completing the installation, we arrange for the final inspection to ensure your new plumbing system meets all code requirements. You’ll receive documentation showing the work was completed properly and passed all necessary inspections, which is important for insurance and resale purposes.
Yes, repiping typically increases home value and makes your property more attractive to potential buyers. Homes with updated plumbing systems sell faster and for higher prices than those with aging galvanized pipes.
Modern plumbing is a significant selling point because buyers understand they won’t face immediate repair costs or water damage risks. A complete repipe with quality materials like PEX or copper can add $5,000 to $10,000 in home value, often recovering much of the initial investment.
Beyond resale value, repiping provides immediate benefits like reliable water pressure, clean water, and peace of mind. You’ll also save money on ongoing repairs and potential water damage that aging galvanized pipes commonly cause. It’s an investment that pays dividends both now and when you eventually sell.
