We Know North Sacramento Plumbing

We understand the unique challenges that come with this area’s aging housing stock – many built in the 1970s and 1980s when galvanized and early copper pipes were standard. We’ve seen what happens when those pipes start failing. The rusty water, the pressure drops, the unexpected leaks that can damage your floors and walls. That’s why we focus on getting your repiping project done right the first time, with materials that will last decades. Our team shows up on time, explains what we’re doing in plain English, and gives you upfront pricing so there are no surprises on your bill.

Here's Exactly What Happens During Repiping

First, we inspect your current plumbing system to understand what we’re working with. We’ll show you the problem areas and explain why certain pipes need to be replaced. You’ll get a detailed estimate that covers everything – materials, labor, permits, and any wall repairs needed. Once you’re ready to move forward, we handle the permits and schedule the work around your life. Most residential repipes take 2-4 days depending on your home’s size and layout. We shut off water to specific sections while we work, so you’re never completely without water during the project. We remove the old pipes and install new PEX or copper throughout your home. Our team protects your floors and furniture, and we clean up completely each day. After installation, we test everything thoroughly – checking water pressure, looking for leaks, and making sure all your fixtures work properly before we consider the job complete.

Complete Repiping Services North Sacramento

What's Included in Your Repiping Project

Your repiping project includes complete replacement of all water supply lines with modern materials designed to last 50-75 years. We use either high-grade PEX or Type L copper, depending on your home’s specific needs and your preferences. All fittings, valves, and connections are included. North Sacramento homes often present unique challenges. Many were built when building codes were different, and we frequently encounter galvanized pipes that have been slowly restricting water flow for decades. We also see plenty of homes with Kitec piping from the 1990s and early 2000s – a system known for spontaneous failures that can cause serious water damage. We handle all necessary permits and ensure your new plumbing meets current California building codes. Our work includes patching and repairing any drywall we need to open, so you’re not left with holes in your walls. Every repiping project comes with our comprehensive warranty because we stand behind our work.

How long does a whole house repipe take in North Sacramento?

Most residential repiping projects in North Sacramento take 2-4 days, depending on your home’s size, layout, and the complexity of your existing plumbing. A typical single-story, 3-bedroom home usually takes 2-3 days, while larger two-story homes may take 3-4 days. We work efficiently but never rush the important details. Each day, we focus on specific sections of your home so you always have access to at least one bathroom and kitchen water. We start early and work a full day to minimize the total time your home is under construction. The timeline can be affected by factors like accessibility of existing pipes, whether we encounter unexpected issues behind walls, and permit processing times. We’ll give you a realistic timeline upfront and keep you updated if anything changes during the project.

Should I choose PEX or copper pipes for my North Sacramento home?

Both PEX and copper are excellent choices, but PEX has become the preferred option for most North Sacramento repiping projects. PEX costs less, installs faster with fewer wall openings, and performs better in our local water conditions. It’s also quieter – no more water hammer sounds when you turn off faucets. Copper is still a great choice if you prefer traditional materials or if your home’s layout makes PEX installation challenging. Copper has natural antimicrobial properties and many homeowners like the idea of metal pipes. However, Sacramento’s water chemistry can be hard on copper over time, potentially leading to pinhole leaks. PEX is more flexible, so it can be routed through existing spaces without major demolition. It also handles temperature changes better and won’t burst if pipes freeze during those rare North Sacramento cold snaps. We’ll recommend the best option based on your specific situation and preferences.

What are the signs that my North Sacramento home needs repiping?

The most obvious sign is water pressure that’s gotten noticeably worse over time, especially if you can’t run two water fixtures simultaneously without one becoming a trickle. This usually indicates your pipes are clogged with mineral buildup or corrosion. Discolored water is another red flag. If your water comes out rusty, brown, or yellow – especially first thing in the morning – your pipes are corroding from the inside. Bad-tasting or metallic-tasting water also indicates pipe deterioration that affects your water quality. Frequent leaks are a strong indicator that your entire plumbing system is failing, not just individual pipes. If you’ve had multiple leak repairs in the past few years, or if you’ve noticed your water bills creeping up without explanation, it’s time for a professional inspection. Homes built before 1990 in North Sacramento should definitely be evaluated, as most still have their original plumbing.

How much does repiping cost in North Sacramento?

Repiping costs in North Sacramento typically range from $4,000 to $15,000, depending on your home’s size, the complexity of your existing plumbing, and the materials you choose. A typical 2-bathroom home usually falls in the $5,000-$8,000 range for PEX repiping. Several factors affect the final cost: square footage, number of bathrooms, accessibility of existing pipes, and whether we need to reroute plumbing around obstacles. Homes with crawl space access are less expensive than homes where we need to work through finished walls and ceilings. We provide detailed, upfront estimates that include everything – materials, labor, permits, and wall repairs. No surprise charges or hidden fees. Many homeowners are surprised to learn that repiping costs less than they expected, especially when they consider the money they’ll save on future repairs and lower water bills.

Will repiping disrupt my daily routine in North Sacramento?

We design our repiping process to minimize disruption to your daily life. You’ll never be completely without water – we work in sections so you always have access to at least one bathroom and your kitchen sink. Most of the work happens during normal business hours, so your evening routines aren’t affected. We protect your floors, furniture, and belongings with drop cloths and plastic sheeting. Our team cleans up completely each day before leaving, so you’re not living in a construction zone. Any drywall we open gets patched and painted to match your existing walls. The biggest inconvenience is usually the noise during working hours and temporarily reduced water pressure in certain areas while we work on those sections. We’ll walk you through the daily schedule so you know what to expect. Most of our customers are surprised by how manageable the process is, especially compared to the ongoing hassle of dealing with failing pipes.

Do you handle permits and inspections for North Sacramento repiping?

Yes, we handle all permit applications and coordinate inspections with Sacramento County building department. Repiping work requires permits to ensure the installation meets current building codes and safety standards. We’re familiar with local requirements and have established relationships with the inspection departments. We pull permits before starting work and schedule all required inspections during the project. This includes rough plumbing inspection before we close up walls, and final inspection after completion. You don’t need to deal with any of the paperwork or coordinate with inspectors – we handle everything. Our work consistently passes inspection on the first visit because we know the codes and do the job right. All permits and inspections are included in your project cost, so there are no additional fees. Once we receive final approval, you’ll have documentation that the work was done properly, which is valuable for insurance purposes and future home sales.
