No more rusty water staining your clothes or dishes. Your showers actually have pressure again. You stop worrying about surprise leaks flooding your floors or rotting your walls.
The constant drip-drip-drip that kept you awake finally stops. Your water bills drop because you’re not paying for water that’s literally disappearing into your walls. Most importantly, you get peace of mind knowing your plumbing will work when you need it.
Modern pipes don’t just fix today’s problems—they prevent tomorrow’s disasters. That’s what a proper repipe does for Hood homeowners who are tired of playing plumbing roulette.
We’ve been handling El Dorado County’s unique plumbing challenges for over 24 years. Hood’s mineral-rich water is tough on pipes, and we see the damage it causes daily.
Your neighbors trust us because we’re not some fly-by-night operation. We’re licensed (Cl#916322), insured, and we live here too. When you call, you’re talking to people who understand exactly what Hood’s older homes put their plumbing systems through.
We’ve repiped everything from 1970s homes with original galvanized steel to newer construction. Every job teaches us something new about what works in this area and what doesn’t.
First, we inspect your current system and explain what needs replacing and why. You get a clear, upfront price before we touch anything. No hourly rates that keep climbing.
Next, we carefully remove old pipes and install new copper or PEX throughout your home. We protect your furniture, minimize dust, and make access holes where they’ll be least visible. Most Hood homes take 2-5 days depending on size and complexity.
Finally, we test everything thoroughly, clean up completely, and patch all holes. You get reliable water flow, better pressure, and the confidence that comes from knowing your plumbing is built to last decades, not years.

We replace all water supply lines with high-quality copper or PEX piping. That includes hot and cold lines to every fixture—sinks, showers, toilets, washing machine, water heater connections, everything.
Hood’s mineral-rich water is particularly hard on older galvanized pipes. We see the damage daily: corroded pipes that restrict flow, pinhole leaks that waste hundreds of gallons, and rusty water that stains everything it touches. Modern materials handle these conditions much better.
You also get proper permits, inspections, and a warranty on our work. We coordinate with the county, handle the paperwork, and make sure everything meets current codes. That matters when you sell your home or file an insurance claim.
Most Hood homes take 2-5 days for a complete repipe, depending on size, number of bathrooms, and how accessible your current pipes are. Single-story homes usually go faster than two-story homes.
The biggest factor is often how your original plumbing was installed. Some 1970s Hood homes have pipes that are easy to access, while others were built in ways that require more careful work to avoid damage.
We’ll give you a realistic timeline during our initial inspection. We don’t rush jobs because shortcuts always cause problems later, but we also don’t drag things out unnecessarily.
Yes, in most cases you can stay home during your repipe. We don’t keep your water off continuously for days. We turn it off while we’re working on specific sections, then restore it when we leave each day.
You’ll have water for cooking, cleaning, and showers most evenings and mornings. The main inconvenience is limited access to certain rooms while we’re working and some dust despite our protective measures.
If you have specific health concerns or just prefer to stay elsewhere, we can work with your schedule. But most Hood families find it easier to stay home and work around our schedule.
Both work well in Hood’s conditions, but each has advantages. Copper lasts longer and handles heat better, making it ideal for hot water lines. It’s also what most Hood homes originally had, so it’s familiar to local inspectors and future plumbers.
PEX is more affordable, faster to install, and better at handling Hood’s mineral-rich water without corroding. It’s also more flexible, so it’s less likely to burst if pipes freeze during those rare cold snaps.
Many Hood homeowners choose a hybrid approach: copper for main lines and hot water, PEX for branch lines. We’ll recommend what makes the most sense for your specific situation and budget.
Hood repipe costs typically range from $8,000-$15,000 for most single-family homes, depending on size, pipe material, and complexity. Two-story homes and homes with multiple bathrooms cost more because there’s simply more work involved.
The biggest cost factors are your home’s square footage, number of fixtures, pipe material choice, and how difficult your current pipes are to access. Homes with crawl spaces are usually less expensive than slab foundations.
We provide detailed, written estimates that break down material and labor costs. No surprises, no “diagnostic fees” that get added later. The price we quote is the price you pay.
Common signs include rusty or discolored water, low water pressure throughout the house, frequent leaks, and pipes that are 40+ years old. If you’re constantly calling plumbers for different pipe problems, that’s usually your plumbing system telling you it’s time.
Hood’s mineral-rich water accelerates pipe deterioration, especially in galvanized steel pipes common in older homes. You might notice water that tastes metallic, stains fixtures brown, or leaves residue on dishes and clothes.
The best way to know for sure is a professional inspection. We can look at your pipes, test your water pressure, and give you an honest assessment of what needs attention now versus what can wait.
Yes, a quality repipe typically increases home value and makes your property more attractive to buyers. New plumbing is a major selling point because buyers know they won’t face expensive pipe problems for decades.
In Hood’s competitive real estate market, homes with updated plumbing often sell faster and for higher prices than comparable homes with original 1970s-era pipes. Buyers see new plumbing as one less major expense they’ll face.
The exact value increase depends on your home’s age, condition, and local market conditions. But most Hood homeowners find that repiping pays for itself through increased value, lower maintenance costs, and reduced water bills.
