You turn on your faucet and water flows strong and clear. No more rusty water in your morning coffee. No more weak showers that barely rinse the soap away.
Your water pressure stays consistent whether someone’s doing laundry or washing dishes. The metallic taste that made you buy bottled water? Gone. Your water tastes clean again.
Most importantly, you stop worrying about the next leak. No more emergency calls to plumbers. No more water damage anxiety every time you leave town.
We’ve been serving El Dorado County homeowners with honest, reliable plumbing services. We’re your neighbors—literally. When you call us, you’re supporting a local business that understands Pollock Pines homes.
We’ve seen it all in this area. The older homes with galvanized pipes that are finally giving out. The mountain properties with unique challenges. The seasonal residents who need work done fast before they head back to the city.
Our approach is simple: transparent pricing, quality work, and we show up when we say we will. No diagnostic fees, no surprise charges, no runaround.
First, we inspect your current plumbing system and discuss your options. We’ll explain whether copper or PEX makes more sense for your home and budget. You get a clear quote upfront—no surprises later.
Next, we map out the most efficient route for new pipes, minimizing wall and floor cuts. We work systematically, keeping your water on in most areas while we replace sections. Most homes stay livable during the process.
Finally, we test everything thoroughly before calling it complete. We check water pressure at every fixture, test for leaks, and make sure your new system works perfectly. Then we clean up and patch any access points we created.

We install both copper and PEX piping, depending on what works best for your situation. Copper pipes are proven—they can last 50 years or more and handle high temperatures without issue. They’re especially good for exposed areas and main lines.
PEX offers flexibility that’s perfect for Pollock Pines’ mountain conditions. It won’t burst if temperatures drop, expands and contracts naturally, and installs faster than copper. This means less disruption to your home and often lower labor costs.
In our area, we see a lot of homes built in the 60s and 70s with galvanized steel pipes. These were built to last, but after 50-60 years, they’re corroding from the inside. The good news? Today’s materials are better than what was originally installed.
Most whole house repipes take 2-4 days, depending on your home’s size and complexity. Single-story homes typically take less time than two-story homes.
We work efficiently to minimize disruption to your daily routine. You’ll have water to essential areas like bathrooms during most of the process. We coordinate with you on timing—if you need to be out of town or have specific scheduling needs, we can work around that.
The timeline also depends on access. Homes with crawl spaces or basements go faster than slab foundations, which require more careful planning and sometimes rerouting pipes through walls or attic spaces.
PEX typically costs 20-30% less than copper for materials and labor. The flexible nature of PEX means fewer fittings and faster installation, which saves on labor costs.
However, copper has advantages that might justify the extra cost. It lasts longer, handles high temperatures better, and many homeowners prefer it for resale value. In Pollock Pines’ mountain climate, both materials perform well.
We’ll walk through the pros and cons of each option for your specific situation. Sometimes we recommend a hybrid approach—copper for main lines and PEX for branch lines—to balance cost and performance.
Yes, repiping typically increases home value and makes your property more attractive to buyers. Updated plumbing is a major selling point, especially in areas like Pollock Pines where many homes have aging systems.
Buyers appreciate knowing they won’t face immediate plumbing repairs or water damage risks. A new plumbing system also suggests the home has been well-maintained overall.
The exact value increase depends on your home’s age and condition, but most homeowners see a good return on investment. More importantly, you get to enjoy reliable plumbing while you live there, and you avoid the costs and hassles of repeated repairs.
Several signs indicate it’s time for repiping. Frequent leaks are the biggest red flag—if you’re patching one leak only to have another pop up somewhere else, your pipes are likely deteriorating throughout the system.
Water quality issues like rusty color, metallic taste, or low pressure throughout the house also signal pipe problems. If your home was built before 1980 and still has original galvanized steel pipes, it’s probably time to upgrade.
Strange noises from your pipes, water stains on walls or ceilings, and increasing water bills can all indicate failing pipes. We can inspect your system and give you an honest assessment of whether you need full repiping or if targeted repairs will handle the issues.
Yes, we handle all necessary permits for repiping work in El Dorado County. We’re familiar with local building codes and inspection requirements, so you don’t have to worry about the paperwork.
Permit requirements vary depending on the scope of work. Whole house repipes typically require permits and inspections to ensure everything meets current codes. This protects you and ensures the work is done properly.
We factor permit costs into our upfront quote, so there are no surprise fees later. We also coordinate with inspectors and handle any follow-up requirements to get your project properly approved.
We stand behind our repiping work with comprehensive warranties on both materials and labor. The specific warranty terms depend on the materials used—copper and PEX both come with manufacturer warranties, and we add our own labor warranty.
Our warranty covers installation defects, joint failures, and workmanship issues. We’re a local company that’s been serving this area for years, so we’ll be here if you ever need warranty service.
We also provide detailed documentation of your new plumbing system, including photos and materials specifications. This helps with any future maintenance needs and provides valuable records for your home.
