We also replace the main water service line from the meter to the house, and address polybutylene piping common in some 1970s–80s subdivisions, which is prone to sudden failure. Repiping sounds daunting, but our crews work cleanly and in stages to keep your water on as much as possible. Call +1 (831) 290-4327 for a straight assessment of what your home actually needs.
Signs your home needs repiping
- Rusty or discolored water, especially first thing in the morning
- Steadily declining water pressure across the house
- Frequent pinhole leaks or repeated pipe repairs
- Visible corrosion or flaking on exposed galvanized pipe
- Polybutylene (gray plastic) supply lines from the '70s–'80s
- A home built before 1970 with original plumbing

Our Process
- 1
Whole-home assessment
We inspect your visible piping, test pressure and water quality, and map what needs replacing — sometimes it's the whole home, sometimes just the worst runs or the main service line.
- 2
A clear, staged plan
We lay out the scope, material (PEX or copper), timeline and how we'll keep your water on as much as possible, plus any permits required.
- 3
Clean, protected installation
We open minimal access, protect your finishes, run new lines to code, and coordinate any needed inspection.
- 4
Pressure test and restore
We pressure-test the new system, confirm clean water and full pressure at every fixture, and patch access points.
What Affects the Price
We quote a firm price before we start — no surprises. Several factors shape the cost of repiping & water line replacement:
- Whole-house repipe vs. partial or main service line only
- PEX vs. copper and the number of fixtures and floors
- Home size, layout, and drywall access required
- Permits and any restoration of walls or landscaping
Your Repiping Options
After we assess your pressure, water quality, and visible piping, we'll tell you honestly how much needs replacing — sometimes it's the whole home, sometimes just the worst runs or the main line.
Whole-Home Repipe
We replace all the failing supply lines with modern PEX or copper, restoring clean water and full pressure to every fixture.
Best for: Galvanized or polybutylene failing throughout the home
Partial Repipe
We replace just the corroded runs causing rusty water or pressure loss and leave sound sections in place.
Best for: Localized corrosion in an otherwise sound system
Main Service Line
We replace the buried line from the meter to the house when that's the source of the rust or low pressure.
Best for: A failing or aging water service line
