Repiping
When the old galvanized has run out of road. Planned in sequence so you are never without water overnight.
Repiping in the South Bay
How we approach it
Galvanized steel closes up from the inside. By the time the pressure at the shower is noticeably down, the interior diameter can be a fraction of what it started as, and no amount of fixture work will bring it back.
A repipe replaces the supply system rather than chasing it. We stage the work so the house stays livable, pull the permits, and get it inspected properly.
What the job covers
- Whole-house copper or PEX supply replacement
- Partial repipes where only one run has failed
- Manifold or trunk-and-branch layouts
- Permit handling and city inspection
- Drywall access cut cleanly and patched
- Pressure test and full fixture check at the end
Signs you are looking at this job
- Pressure that drops when a second tap opens
- Rusty or discoloured water on the first draw
- Repeated pinhole leaks on the same run
- Visible corrosion or scaling at exposed joints
- A house on original galvanized piping
Not sure which one it is?
Describe it however it comes out — the noise, the smell, where the water is. We ask the few questions that narrow it down and tell you whether it needs someone today or whether it can wait until the week.
No trip charge for a quote inside the service area, and a flat number before any work starts.
You call
Tell us what it is doing. We ask what narrows it down and give you a window we can actually keep.
We diagnose
On site, with the right instruments. You see what we see before anything gets opened up.
Flat quote
One number, written down. If something turns up behind the wall we stop and re-quote rather than run the meter.
Clean finish
Tested, walked through with you, and the work area left the way you handed it over.
