What Is A Repipe?
A repipe is when the entire hot and cold water supply systems for a building are replaced with new pipes. The process typically involves cutting walls and drilling through exterior walls and studs but sometimes the process is different when there’s a crawl space. The new pipes are either ran through the attic space or the crawl space and down, or up to all the different fixtures.
There are many small tasks that need to be performed for a repipe. Such as installing stud guards to protect pipes. Straps and anchors to hold pipes in place. Also spray foam to seal wall penetrations as well as mortar patching for the exterior holes. Once the work is completed, it is inspected by an inspector from the local municipality. Upon passing inspection the walls can be restored and painted.
We handle the repiping process from beginning to end and if you would like us to provide the drywall and/or painting then we are happy to add that to your FREE quote.

When Is It Time To Repipe?
Corrosion
As the plumbing in your home ages, it can corrode and build up rust, which can lead to lower water pressure and even cause pipe leaks or breaks. When a leak occurs, the obvious solution is to repair the leak. But if the leak occurred due to old age or corrosion it could be an indication of other issues with your home’s plumbing pipe system. In this situation, repairing a single leak could only be addressing a small part of a larger problem with the plumbing system. Your home could be due for a repipe.
Slab Leaks
A common problem in Cape Coral, FL that requires a repipe is a slab leak. A slab leak is when a water pipe running below the home is leaking. This type of leak can be located and repaired but many times it is less intrusive to repipe the house and update the pipes. Fixing the leak may seem like a good idea but one thing to consider is there could be another slab leak in the future.
Polybutylene Water Tubing
Another common cause for a repipe in Cape Coral, FL is polybutylene water tubing. Polybutylene tubing is not accepted by many insurance companies and many customers contact us to replace these pipes. That was the case at the Kindness Animal Hospital in Cape Coral, FL. We removed all of the polybutylene water pipes and repiped with new PEX tubing
Time To Repipe Your Home?
Repiping your whole house water system can seem a little intimidating at first and it is a lot more involved than an individual leak repair, but it could save you a lot of money and potential damage to your home.

What’s Involved In A Repipe?
Pulling The Permit
We take care of permitting for your repipe from pulling the permit to scheduling the inspection. If plans have to be submitted we take care of that too. If you already have an existing renovation permit then we can sign onto it. We are registered with Cape Coral, FL and all of the local municipalities to pull permits.
Cutting The Drywall
The first step of a repipe is cutting the drywall in the house. We will cut the drywall at all of the plumbing fixture locations and neatly stack the drywall on the floor nearby. Our plumbers use vacuums while cutting the drywall to minimize dust. We then clean each area before leaving it so the house stays clean as much as possible.
Drilling The Walls
Once the drywall is cut, we drill the studs and top plates of the walls and we drill through the block exterior walls where necessary. Again, we clean all of the areas as we go.
Install Pipes In The Attic
The next step is placing new PEX pipes in the walls and up into the attic space. Once the pipes are up the walls we will connect the pipes up in the attic. Our plumbers will strap all the pipes as needed.
Shut Down The Old System, Drain & Disconnect
Up until this point of the job, the water to the house has not yet been turned off. Once the pipes are connected in the attic, we will shut down the water to the house and drain the old pipes. Then we will start the process of disconnecting all of the fixtures from the old plumbing system and connect them to the new system.
Pressure Text & Fix Minor Issues
When finished with the repipe, we will pressure test the system to confirm proper operation with no leaks. Once the system passes our pressure test we will turn on the water to the new system. Then we will check all of the fixtures in the house and confirm that they are working properly. At this point in the repipe, our plumbers may have to clean or replace faucet aerators or repair minor drain leaks. Typically we do not charge for these small additional issues that we resolve.
Inspection
Once the repipe is finished and tested we will schedule the inspection. Typically the customer will meet the inspector but we are available to talk to them if any issues or questions arise. The morning of the inspection we will attempt to contact the inspector and get an idea of their arrival time.
Drywall & Painting
After the inspection is passed it will be time to restore the drywall. You can perform the drywall repairs and painting yourself or you can have us do it. We can add drywall repair and painting to your FREE Cape Coral repipe quote. If you only need the drywall repaired but no painting, we can arrange that too.
PEX Pipes Not For You?
Sometimes customers require a different pipe material for various reasons. If you do not believe Pex pipes are best for your repipe then our Florida Certified Master Plumber will be happy to discuss other options with you such as CPVC, copper or other materials. We are always happy to listen to a customer’s concerns and find the best match for their particular plumbing project.
