Whole-Home Repiping
If your home was built before the 1980s, it may still have galvanized steel or polybutylene pipes — materials that have long exceeded their useful lifespan. These aging pipes corrode from the inside out, restricting water flow, discoloring your water, and becoming increasingly prone to sudden failures. Copper Hound specializes in whole-home repiping using modern copper and PEX materials.
Signs You May Need Repiping
- Rusty, brown, or discolored water from your taps
- Noticeably reduced water pressure throughout the home
- Frequent pinhole leaks appearing in multiple locations
- Visible corrosion or flaking on exposed pipes
- Pipes made of gray plastic (polybutylene) or galvanized steel
- Home built before 1985
Repiping Materials We Use
Copper pipe is the gold standard — durable, corrosion-resistant, and proven over generations. It delivers excellent water quality and is compatible with all fixtures.
PEX (cross-linked polyethylene) is flexible, freeze-resistant, and can be routed through walls with minimal disruption. Our preferred choice for retrofit repiping in occupied homes.
