Whole House Repipe in San Diego
Galvanized steel pipes corrode from the inside. If your San Diego home was built before 1980 and still has original pipes, a repipe is the right long-term call.
Many San Diego homes built in the 1940s through the 1970s still have their original galvanized steel pipes. These pipes corrode from the inside over decades, progressively narrowing as rust and mineral deposits accumulate on the pipe walls. The result is reduced water pressure throughout the home, rust-colored water, leaks at fittings, and eventually complete pipe failures. PEX is now the preferred repiping material for its flexibility, corrosion resistance, and lower installation cost compared to copper. Copper is also available for homeowners who prefer it. A whole house repipe takes one to three days and restores full water pressure and clean water to every fixture, typically without wall-to-wall demolition. We cut strategic access points and repair them cleanly when the job is done.

Licensed, insured, and experienced, here's what sets our service apart.
PEX or Copper, Your Choice
PEX is flexible, corrosion-resistant, and costs less to install than copper. Copper is more rigid but is a proven long-term material. We do both and explain the real tradeoffs.
Restores Full Water Pressure
Corroded galvanized pipes can be narrowed to a fraction of their original diameter. New pipes restore full design flow to every fixture in the house.
Eliminates Rust and Discoloration
Rust-colored or brown tap water is a direct symptom of corroding galvanized pipes. New pipes deliver clean, clear water from day one.
Minimal Wall Demolition
We run new lines through strategic access points rather than opening every wall. Furniture and finishes are protected throughout the process.
Permitted & Code-Compliant
Whole house repipes require permits in San Diego. We handle the permitting process and schedule inspections so your work is documented and compliant.
How It Works
A straightforward process, no surprises, no upsells.
Assessment & Quote
We assess your existing pipe material, home layout, and fixture count to give you an accurate quote for PEX or copper repiping.
Access Planning
We plan the access points needed to run new lines with minimal wall opening. We walk through this plan with you before starting.
Repipe
New supply lines are run to every fixture. Water is shut off in sections and restored at the end of each day when possible to minimize disruption.
Pressure Test, Inspection & Patch
After all connections are made, we pressure test the full system, schedule the permit inspection, and patch access points cleanly.
