Pipe runs outdoors or in sunlightCopper isn't harmed by UV light.

Copper vs. PEX: Which Should You Choose?

Both are good materials, and the right one depends on your home and your priorities.

Copper

Commonly lasts 50 years or more
Handles heat and sunlight
Recyclable, and naturally resists bacteria
Rigid, so it needs more fittings and more labor
Costs more
Can split in a hard freeze and can develop pinholes with some water conditions

PEX

Flexible, with fewer joints
Copes better with freezing
Usually costs less and installs faster
Must be kept out of sunlight and away from high heat
Can be chewed by rodents

Many homes end up with a mix: copper where it's exposed or near heat, PEX for the long runs. If PEX sounds like the better fit, see PEX repiping.

Types of Copper Pipe We Install

Copper water pipe comes in different wall thicknesses. Type L has a thicker wall and is the usual choice for repiping a home's water lines. Type M is thinner and less expensive, and it's used where local code allows. Type K is the thickest and is mainly used underground, such as for a water service line. We'll explain which one we recommend for each part of your home and why.

Copper Plumbing and Kyle's Water

Kyle's water is hard, meaning it carries a lot of dissolved minerals. Over time those minerals can leave scale inside pipes and fittings, and in older homes the combination of age and water chemistry can lead to pinhole leaks in copper.

New copper, correctly sized and supported, starts that clock over. Because copper can split in a hard freeze, any lines in the attic or on outside walls should be insulated, and we include that in the plan.

Caring for Copper Pipes

Insulate exposed lines. Attic, garage and outside-wall pipes need protection from hard freezes.
Keep pressure in range. Pressure above 80 psi strains joints; a pressure-reducing valve helps.
Watch the joints. Green or white crust on a fitting can be the first sign of a slow leak.
Consider softer water. A water softener cuts down on scale.
Fix drips quickly. Small leaks at joints get bigger over time.

What Affects the Cost of a Copper Repipe

Copper costs more than PEX, mainly because of the material and the extra fittings and labor rigid pipe needs. For your home, the price also depends on:

How many fixtures the new system has to reach.
The copper type chosen for each part of the system.
Routing. Straight, open runs in the attic are quicker than paths through finished walls.
Whole house or partial. Sometimes only the failing section needs replacing.
A mix of materials. Copper where it matters most and PEX for long runs can lower the total.

We'll give you a clear price for copper, and for a mixed option if it makes sense, before anything starts.

Questions About Copper Pipe

How much does it cost to repipe a house in Texas?

It depends on the size of the home, the number of bathrooms and fixtures, the pipe material and how easy the walls and attic are to reach. We inspect first and give you a price before work starts.

How long does copper pipe last?

Copper water pipe commonly lasts 50 years or more when it's installed well and the water and pressure are in a normal range.

Is it better to repipe with PEX or copper?

Neither is better everywhere. Copper wins on heat, sunlight and lifespan; PEX wins on cost, flexibility and freeze tolerance. Many homes use both.

Will you need to open my walls?

Some openings are needed to reach the lines, usually small ones near fixtures. We plan the routes to keep them to a minimum and patch them afterward.

Can you repipe just part of the house?

Yes. If only one area or one set of lines is failing, a partial repipe can be the right answer.

What causes pinhole leaks in copper pipe?

Usually a combination of age, water chemistry and water speed wearing the pipe from the inside. One pinhole can be repaired, but several in different places usually mean the pipe as a whole is thinning.
