Repiping Specialists in Fresno and Sacramento, CA.

The reason any building needs repiping is that the existing plumbing is old, worn-out, and failing. The most obvious sign of plumbing that needs to be repiped is constant leaks and plumbing problems in multiple areas of a home. Eventually, those service calls and water damage are going to add up!

Plumbing pipes should be replaced every 25 years. Some other signs that your entire home should be repiped include:

• You have constant water leaks in different places in your home.
• You notice wet spots or “slab leaks” in concrete flooring.
• You can hear your pipes “knocking” when water is running.
• Your water supply is brown or discolored from rusty pipes.

Before we suggest repiping your home, our plumbing specialist will address your plumbing issue and inspect your existing pipes. If it’s determined that repiping your house is the best solution, we’ll schedule dates to begin the repiping process.

The entire indoor plumbing system is replaced systematically when a home is repiped. This is done in stages, usually replacing hot water pipes and then cold water piping. In most cases, some drywall will need to be removed to access water lines inside walls.

Once the repiping is complete, our team or a choice contractor can replace the missing drywall and return your home to its original condition. But with the security of leak-free piping throughout your house.

PEX piping is a relatively new plastic plumbing material used as an alternative to traditional metal piping. Cross-linked polyethylene (PEX) can be used for both hot and cold water in indoor plumbing. This flexible plastic piping reduces the number of plumbing connections required in a home.

Lee’s Air, Plumbing, & Heating offers PEX as a repiping option. Alternatively, you can choose brass or copper for piping. Our experts will help you understand the pros and cons of each material and what makes the most sense for your repiping project.

The amount of time a repiping service takes mostly depends on the size of your home. The more pipes we’re replacing, the longer repiping takes for completion. Other factors, such as access to plumbing, unforeseen issues, and previous water damage, can also affect timelines on your repiping service.

For many homes, a complete repiping service can be finished in 3 days. In some cases, repiping can take up to a week.

During your repiping service, access to water will be very limited. Most homeowners vacate their homes during the installation. We’ll always communicate our repiping timelines before starting the project.
