Common Signs Your Home Needs Repiping
Over time, plumbing systems wear down, especially in older homes with outdated pipe materials. Knowing the warning signs can help you avoid water damage, low pressure, and costly repairs. If you're noticing recurring issues with your plumbing, here are eight signs it may be time to consider repiping your home.
- Frequent leaks
If you're constantly repairing pipe leaks, it could be a sign that your plumbing system is failing and needs to be replaced. - Discolored or rusty water
Brown or yellow water from your taps often points to corrosion inside old pipes, especially if you have galvanized steel. - Low water pressure
Corroded or clogged pipes can restrict water flow, leading to consistently weak pressure throughout your home. Unusual taste or smell in water
Outdated pipes can affect water quality, causing unpleasant metallic tastes or odd odors.
- Noisy pipes
Rattling, banging, or other strange pipe noises may indicate wear, movement, or pressure problems caused by deteriorating pipes. Visible corrosion or rust on exposed pipes
If you can see rust or green corrosion on pipes in basements, crawl spaces, or utility rooms, the rest of your system may be in similar condition.Multiple plumbing issues across your home
If you're experiencing clogs, slow drains, and pressure problems in several areas, it could be a system-wide issue—not just isolated problems.Your home has old or outdated piping materials
Homes built before the 1970s often used galvanized steel or polybutylene piping, both of which are prone to failure and should be replaced.

Frequently Asked Questions
What type of piping materials do you use?
We typically use durable, long-lasting materials like PEX or copper, depending on your home's needs, budget, and local plumbing codes.
How long does a repiping project take?
Most repiping jobs take 1 to 5 days, depending on the size of your home and the complexity of the plumbing system. We work to minimize disruption and keep your water turned off for as little time as possible.
Will repiping improve my water pressure or water quality?
Yes—repiping can significantly improve water pressure and reduce issues like rusty or discolored water, especially if your current pipes are old or corroded.
Is repiping covered by homeowners insurance?
It depends on your policy. Insurance may cover pipe damage from sudden incidents (like a burst pipe), but full repiping due to age or corrosion is usually considered a maintenance issue and not covered.
