Frequently Asked Questions

Repipe (or re-plumb) is a complete replacement of your interior water supply system. New PEX or copper pipes are routed to every fixture through walls and ceilings. 

Recurring leaks or slab leaks, discolored/rusty water, low pressure, or pipes older than ~30 years are common signs it’s time to replace your plumbing.

If your home is older than 20 years, chances are the pipes reached their life expectancy. The other most common reason is that low-grade pipes, like polybutylene or type M copper, were used in the plumbing of your home. Hard water leads to premature pipe failure and pin hole leaks.

Pricing depends on bath count, square footage, stories, finishes, and material (PEX vs. copper). We provide a fast, detailed quote—no surprises.

Yes! If you have a lower quote from another licensed contractor, we will match the price.

Yes — through Wisetack. Prequalify online in about a minute with no impact to your credit. Finance up to $25,000 with 3–60 month terms and APRs 0%–29.99% on approved credit, with no hidden fees or compounding interest.

The whole process usually takes 3 to 5 days for a 2 bedroom house or apartment. We will be able to give you a more exact estimate for your particular home after our Free in-home consultation.

Yes. We repair drywall openings and leave the work areas tidy with HEPA dust control and floor protection.

Yes, typically during working hours on installation day. We coordinate timing and restore service as quickly as possible.

PEX is a flexible and durable plastic piping product used for distributing water in residential, commercial and irrigation plumbing systems. PEX is a non-toxic, BPA-free and extremely durable piping product that will not pit, scale or corrode like copper. 

We install US‑made Uponor PEX‑A, certified for potable water and widely used in homes, schools, and healthcare settings.

We recommend aquaPEX by Uponor to 95% of our customers. With more than 40 years of proven performance and 17 billion feet of Uponor PEX installed worldwide, we are confident in our recommendation. Whenever PEX is not a viable solution, we use high quality, US-made copper pipes and fittings.

Copper is ideal for exposed runs, high‑heat tolerance, or homeowner preference. We use rigid Type L copper for durability.

Yes—transitions are common (e.g., copper stubs at the water heater with PEX distribution).

Whole‑house (point‑of‑entry) improves water for every tap by reducing chlorine/chloramine taste/odor and sediment. Reverse osmosis (RO) is a point‑of‑use purifier for drinking/cooking that targets dissolved solids. Softeners/conditioners address hardness to reduce scale on fixtures and appliances.

Many families choose whole‑house filtration for showers/laundry + RO at the kitchen sink/fridge for drinking. Add a softener (or salt‑free conditioner) if you see spotting, scale, or premature fixture wear.

Properly sized systems are selected to meet your home’s demand; we match flow ratings and add bypass/shut‑offs for easy service.

Sediment/carbon filters: 6–12 months. RO pre/post filters: 6–12 months; RO membranes: 2–3 years. Softener salt refills: as needed; media in tank systems: 3–5 years depending on usage and local water conditions.

Yes—many homes pair whole‑house filtration with RO for drinking and a softener/conditioner for scale control. We’ll design a setup that fits your goals and budget.

Tanks are cost‑effective and simple; tankless offers endless hot water and higher efficiency. We’ll size and price both.

Add a recirculation loop/pump for near‑instant hot water at key fixtures.

Yes—we install to local code, pull permits where required, and meet inspectors as needed.

Yes. We provide board presentations, resident notices, stack‑by‑stack scheduling, and flat‑rate proposals.

We sequence units to minimize downtime and complete same‑day patching/cleanup per stack when feasible.

Lifetime warranty on workmanship for repiping; equipment carries manufacturer warranties.

We provide documentation/photos and communicate with your adjuster if needed (we’re not public adjusters).
