What IS Repiping?
Repiping a home or building in Raleigh NC involves replacing the entire indoor hot and cold water distribution system. If you are planning to do a bathroom remodel, then this would be a good time to replace old fixtures and valves. Sometimes, the water main outside that feeds water to your house, may have to be replaced too.

Signs that it may be time for a repiping
One common sign that you may need some repiping work is poor water volume or water pressure. Do you experience any of the following:
- Shower water get too hot if someone flushes the toilet
- It takes so long to fill your sink with water
- When water is running, the volume changes when someone else turns on the water
- Water trickles out of the faucets
- Red, rusty looking water
WHEN SHOULD YOU REPIPE VS. REPAIR YOUR PIPES?
Probably the most obvious indications of potential piping problems are water pressure, water color or smell, leaky pipes or water spots, unpredictable or unreliable water not staying at constant temperatures. That’s where we come in, we can inspect your entire home and determine if the situation calls for a simple repair or requires more intrusive work. You could have a single leaky pipe, but what if that one leak could be the sign of all the others weakening past a point of no return? Inspecting and evaluating these symptoms before any damage is done to the building or foundation not only protects your home but also provides you clear picture of the situation.
If the problem is relatively simple, we can come out and do a simple but secure patch job and you’ll be fine from there. In other situations there may be multiple cracks and leaks throughout the system, which would necessitate looking into repiping. No matter what you need, you can trust us to get it done in a timely and affordable manner.
If you have any of these issues or anything you think could be a piping issue, don’t hesitate to get in contact with us!
