Whole-House Repiping
Whole-house repiping replaces every water supply line in your home, ending the cycle of recurring leaks and restoring clean water and strong pressure. It suits homes where pipes are aging out system-wide rather than failing in one spot. FlowFast connects you with an independent local plumber who will plan the repipe and choose the right material.

Whole-Home RepipingFrequent leaks or rusty water? Signs your home needs repiping, copper vs. PEX, and how to get connected with an independent local plumber.
View all Repiping servicesA whole-house repipe means removing or abandoning the old supply piping and running new lines to every fixture in the home: sinks, toilets, showers, the water heater, and outdoor spigots. Homes with galvanized steel, polybutylene, or heavily corroded copper eventually reach a point where fixing one leak just moves the next failure down the line. At that stage, a full repipe costs less over time than years of emergency repairs, drywall patching, and water damage restoration.
Planning is what separates a good repipe from a messy one, and experienced plumbers invest real time in it. The plumber maps new routes that minimize drywall cuts, often running lines through attics, crawl spaces, and closets, and decides where a manifold system makes sense for balanced pressure. Most homes stay livable during the work, with water restored each evening. FlowFast connects you with an independent local plumber who will assess your current piping, recommend a material that suits your water and budget, and lay out a clear plan before any wall is opened.
Warning signs
Signs you need this service
- You have had multiple pinhole leaks or pipe repairs in the past couple of years across different areas.
- Water runs discolored or rusty, especially after sitting overnight, and flushing the lines only helps briefly.
- Water pressure has dropped throughout the house, which often means corrosion is narrowing the pipes from inside.
- Your home still has galvanized or polybutylene supply pipes, both known for age-related failure modes that strike without warning.
What to expect
The process, step by step
The pro inspects the existing piping, tests pressure at several points, and maps new pipe routes with minimal wall openings.
They help you choose between PEX, copper, or CPVC based on your water chemistry, layout, and budget.
New lines are run to every fixture, connected properly, and pressure-tested before any walls are closed up.
Fixtures are reconnected, the system is flushed completely clean, and water quality and pressure are verified.
Prevention
How to avoid this problem
- Test your water chemistry so the new pipe material is matched to water that will not attack it.
- Keep water pressure at a moderate level with a regulator to reduce stress on the new system.
- Insulate pipes in attics and exterior walls to protect the new lines from freezing temperatures.
