Signs It's Time to Repipe Your Home

One of these is a warning. Two or more usually means it's time:

Leaks that keep coming backFixing one leak after another means the whole system is wearing out.
Pinhole leaks in copperTiny holes that appear in different places.
A second slab leakLines under the concrete failing again.
Rusty or discolored waterOften a sign of corroding galvanized pipe.
Low water pressureScale and corrosion narrowing the pipes.
Polybutylene pipeGray plastic supply pipe from the late 1970s to mid-1990s, known for failing.
Noisy, banging pipesLoose, worn lines and water hammer.

What Is PEX, and Why Use It?

PEX is cross-linked polyethylene tubing, the flexible red and blue water line you see in most new homes. It comes in long, bendable lengths, so it runs through walls and attics with far fewer joints than rigid pipe, and fewer joints means fewer places to leak.

PEX doesn't corrode or build up mineral scale the way metal pipe can, which matters with Kyle's hard water. It can stretch a little when water freezes inside it, so it copes with a freeze better than copper, though it still needs protecting. It's quieter, and it usually costs less than copper to buy and install.

It isn't right everywhere: PEX has to be kept out of direct sunlight and away from high heat, so some connections, like the first stretch at a water heater, are made in metal. If you're weighing the two, see our copper repiping page.

Taking Water Lines Out of the Slab

Many older Kyle homes have their water lines buried in or under the concrete slab, which is where slab leaks start. A repipe is the chance to move them overhead: the new PEX runs through the attic and down inside the walls, and the old lines under the floor are capped off and left in place.

That ends slab leaks on those lines for good. Because attic lines face Kyle's occasional hard freezes, we insulate them as part of the job.

Getting Ready for Your Repipe

Clear the way. Move furniture and wall hangings away from kitchen, bathroom and laundry walls.
Plan for water shut-offs. The water will be off for parts of the day while lines are switched over.
Think about pets. A quiet room away from the work areas keeps everyone calmer.
Consider fixture upgrades. It's the easiest time to change a faucet, a shower valve or a shut-off.
Ask about permits. Whole-house repiping normally needs a plumbing permit and inspection; we'll tell you what applies.

What Affects the Cost of a PEX Repipe

PEX is usually the most budget-friendly way to repipe, but the total still depends on the house:

Size and layout. The number of bathrooms, the kitchen, the laundry and outdoor faucets all need their own lines.
One story or two. Two-story homes need lines run up through the walls, which takes longer.
Access. An open, walkable attic is quicker to work in than a tight one.
Wall finishes. Tile and cabinets near fixtures take more care than plain drywall.
Extras. New shut-off valves, a pressure-reducing valve or fixture upgrades while the walls are open.

We walk through the house, then give you a price for the whole job before any work starts.

Questions About Repiping With PEX

How long does it take to repipe a house with PEX?

Many homes take a few days, depending on the size of the house, the number of bathrooms and how easy the attic and walls are to reach.

Can I stay in my home during the repipe?

Usually, yes. The water is off only for parts of the day while lines are switched over, and it's back on each evening.

Is PEX better than copper?

Each has strengths. PEX is flexible, has fewer joints, copes better with freezing and costs less. Copper lasts a very long time and handles heat and sunlight. We'll help you pick what suits your home.

Does PEX freeze?

It can. PEX handles freezing better than rigid pipe because it stretches a little, but lines in the attic should still be insulated in Kyle.

Do I need a permit to repipe in Kyle?

Whole-house repiping normally needs a plumbing permit and an inspection. We'll tell you what applies to your home before work starts.

Can you repipe only the lines under the slab?

Yes. A common approach after a slab leak is to reroute just the affected lines, or all of the lines that run under the floor, through the attic with PEX, while the rest of the plumbing stays as it is.
