Your morning shower actually has pressure. Your water runs clear instead of rust-colored. You’re not wondering when the next leak will spring or how much damage it’ll cause.
That peace of mind is what you get when aging galvanized pipes get replaced with modern, reliable materials. No more weak water pressure that makes simple tasks take forever. No more discolored water that makes you question what you’re drinking or bathing in.
Your home works the way it should. Water flows properly to every fixture. You can run the dishwasher and take a shower at the same time without either one suffering. Most importantly, you sleep better knowing your plumbing system isn’t a ticking time bomb waiting to flood your house while you’re at work.
We’ve been solving complex plumbing problems for homeowners throughout the Sacramento area for over two decades. What sets us apart isn’t just technical skill—it’s how we treat your home and your time.
When Ryan Murray and our team show up, we come prepared to complete the work the same day when possible. While other plumbers make you wait a week for basic repairs, we often handle emergency calls within hours. We understand that plumbing problems don’t wait for convenient timing.
Many Walnut Grove area homes were built decades ago when galvanized steel was the standard. These pipes have a lifespan of 40-50 years, and if your home was built before 1990, there’s a good chance your plumbing system is approaching—or has passed—its expiration date. We specialize in helping homeowners transition from failing old systems to reliable modern plumbing that will serve them for decades to come.
The process starts with a thorough inspection of your current plumbing system. We evaluate the condition of your pipes, identify problem areas, and explain exactly what needs to be done and why. You get a clear, upfront estimate with no hidden fees or surprises.
Once you decide to move forward, we coordinate all necessary permits and schedule the work at your convenience. Most residential repipe projects take 1-3 days depending on the size of your home and complexity of the layout. We work efficiently to minimize disruption to your daily routine.
During installation, we use modern materials like copper or PEX that are designed to last decades longer than your old galvanized pipes. All work is done to current plumbing codes with proper inspections. After the new system is installed and tested, we handle all the finishing work—patching drywall, texture matching, and paint touch-ups so your walls look like the work was never done.

A complete repipe replaces all the water supply lines in your home—both hot and cold water systems. This includes the main water line from your meter to your house, all the branch lines that feed your fixtures, and connections to sinks, toilets, showers, washing machine, and appliances.
In Walnut Grove and surrounding Sacramento area communities, many homes still have the original galvanized steel pipes installed 40-70 years ago. These pipes develop internal corrosion that restricts water flow and contaminates your water supply. Professional repiping removes these old systems entirely and replaces them with modern materials that won’t corrode or affect water quality.
Our service includes all necessary permits, inspections, materials, labor, and restoration work. Your new plumbing system comes with warranty protection, and you’ll have documentation that adds value if you ever decide to sell your home. Most importantly, you’ll have reliable water pressure throughout your house and clean, clear water at every tap.
The most obvious signs are low water pressure throughout your house, discolored or rust-tinted water, and frequent pipe leaks. If your home was built before 1990, there’s a high probability you have galvanized steel pipes that are nearing or past their useful life.
You might also notice that water pressure drops significantly when multiple fixtures are used at the same time. Some homeowners report metallic tastes in their drinking water or brown stains around faucets and fixtures. These are all indicators that internal pipe corrosion is affecting your water quality and flow.
The best way to know for certain is to have a professional plumbing inspection. We can assess your current system and let you know whether spot repairs will solve your problems or if a complete repipe is the most cost-effective long-term solution.
Both materials are excellent long-term solutions that will outlast galvanized steel by decades. Copper has been the gold standard for residential plumbing for many years—it’s durable, doesn’t affect water taste, and can last 50-100 years with proper installation.
PEX (cross-linked polyethylene) is a newer material that’s become increasingly popular because it’s flexible, resistant to corrosion and scale buildup, and typically costs less to install. PEX can last 50+ years and performs well in areas with hard water or temperature fluctuations.
The choice often comes down to budget, local building codes, and personal preference. We can explain the pros and cons of each option based on your specific situation and help you choose the material that makes the most sense for your home and budget.
Repiping costs in California typically range from $6,000 to $20,000 for most residential properties, depending on the size of your home, the materials chosen, and the complexity of the installation. A smaller home with straightforward access might be on the lower end, while larger homes with multiple stories and bathrooms will cost more.
Several factors affect the final price: the number of fixtures in your home, whether pipes are easily accessible or require extensive wall opening, the type of materials you choose, and local permit requirements. Homes that need concrete cutting for slab leaks or have other complications will increase the total cost.
We provide transparent, upfront pricing with no hidden fees. We’ll inspect your home and give you a detailed estimate that covers all materials, labor, permits, and finishing work so you know exactly what to expect before any work begins.
Most residential repipe projects take 1-3 days to complete, depending on the size and complexity of your home. A typical single-story home with 2-3 bathrooms can often be completed in 1-2 days, while larger multi-story homes may take 3-4 days.
The timeline also depends on factors like pipe accessibility, the number of fixtures, and whether any unexpected complications arise during the work. We work efficiently to minimize disruption to your daily routine, and we’ll give you a realistic timeline upfront so you can plan accordingly.
During the work, you’ll have limited water access during business hours, but service is typically restored each evening so you can use your plumbing normally overnight. We coordinate the work to ensure you’re never without water for extended periods.
Professional repiping does require access to your existing pipes, which means some strategic wall openings will be necessary. However, as experienced plumbers, we minimize the number of access points needed and plan the work to cause the least disruption possible.
All drywall repairs, texture matching, and paint touch-ups are included in our service. The goal is to leave your home looking like the work was never done. For exterior work, we use techniques that minimize landscaping damage and restore any areas that are disturbed.
Many companies now offer trenchless technology for underground pipe replacement, which dramatically reduces the need for extensive digging under driveways, walkways, or landscaping. We can explain which methods are appropriate for your specific situation and property layout.
For homes with failing galvanized pipes, repiping is often the most cost-effective long-term solution. Continuing to patch individual leaks and deal with poor water pressure becomes expensive over time, and you’re always at risk of a major failure that could cause significant water damage.
A professional repipe eliminates these ongoing problems and actually adds value to your home. Today’s home buyers, especially in California, are looking for properties with updated systems that won’t require immediate major repairs. Having documentation of a recent repipe can be a strong selling point.
Beyond the financial considerations, there’s the quality of life improvement—reliable water pressure, clean water, and peace of mind knowing your plumbing system isn’t going to fail unexpectedly. For most homeowners with aging pipes, the investment pays for itself through avoided emergency repairs and improved daily living conditions.
