Whole House Repiping Services

Regardless of how old your property is or where it is located, even the slightest of negligence may cause water leaks, leading to further plumbing issues. It is especially true if you leave leaks unaddressed. With time, leaks can grow bigger. Eventually, the excess moisture leads to mold, which not only affects the curb appeal of your home but also raises health concerns.

Not to mention, the leaking pipes may cause your water bills to increase while lowering water pressure in the home. So, if you notice it’s taking longer to rinse out conditioner or dishwashing, then the pipes in your home might need attention. Many homeowners have relied on repiping as a way to solve plumbing issues for years.

Fortunately, repipe specialists, such as Conejo Valley Home Services Plumbing & Rooter, can help with whole-house repiping to prevent serious water leakage issues. Keep on reading to learn more about pipe replacement or repiping a house.

When Should You Repipe a House?

Let’s admit, we’ve all faced the occasional leaky pipe or dripping faucet at some point. But if the problem grows severe, whole house repiping or plumbing becomes necessary to fix them. These plumbing issues may vary from corrosion in the existing pipes, lowering water pressure to multiple leaks.

Know that repiping a house is important if the water in the taps comes out rusty. Similarly, if you purchase an older construction, you often need to repipe the whole house before moving into it.

What is Repiping?

Residential pipe replacement refers to a repiping plumbing process. It typically includes installing new piping in the entire house. Professionals replace the pipes with PEX or copper pipes. Sometimes it is a combination of both copper and PEX pipes. The process generally starts by removing the old, rusty piping that’s easy to access. This way, professionals determine the type of piping a home requires.

Once they determine the type of repiping job necessary for the fresh plumbing system, experts decide on a material to repipe the house. They do so by taking factors like climate and budget into account. Keep in mind that the climate of the place you live in is one of the major concerns when it comes to repiping. There are areas where pipes need to be buried as the ground freezes during the winter.

It doesn’t end here, as repiping a house on a slab requires considering many other things for plumbing a structure carefully.

What is Involved in Repiping a House?

When you opt for repiping, remember that it involves several steps as it is a relatively lengthier task compared to other home renovation jobs. Here is a primer of what a residential piping process looks like when you hire professionals such as Conejo Valley Home Services Plumbing & Rooter.

Initial Plumbing Inspection

A qualified repipe specialist visits the house to assess the condition of piping. The professional lets you know if your home requires pipe replacement. You can have a detailed discussion with a specialist about piping options, as well as overall project length and cost. You can also determine your home’s access points.

Scheduling Repiping

Scheduling the entire repiping process wisely is important if you don’t want it to disrupt your routine. It allows plumbing specialists to get the job done quickly without interrupting your family’s activities.

Creating a Safe Workplace

Experts will take preparatory measures to ensure the workplace is secure for the task. It may involve anything from making holes in walls, ceilings, and floors to easily access the pipes. Workers cover the flooring and furniture before drilling to keep your belongings safe.

Owen was my electric tech,
and from the conversation over a couple of electrical issues here, I understood quickly that Owen knows the line of work very well: educated, smart, polite, with down the the earth professional demineur... He checked the wiring, and explained the possibilities why my appliance keeps tripping the breaker..
Thank you Owen.
The company has a right set up. They would also remind you about the appointment, and would convinietly call you a few minutes ahead.

They have the right codes... they won't walk in their shoes on your floors either...
I strongly recommend the Conejo company for your electrical issues...

When our 31 year-old furnace suddenly stopped working, they were out within 24 hours of my call. It was a quick and easy replacement part, but something we wouldn’t dare do ourselves. It’s good to know we’ve found a reliable repair service!

It was excellent service from the initial request to schedule an appt for electrical repairs and the installation updates as to the time and date of service technician arrival at work site. The service person was timely in his arrival time, considerate , respectful and courteous.

Jesse was here right on time to do testing and inspection of our furnaces. He was very thorough, professional and knowledgable and corrected several problems that other companies missed. He also gave us some options to look at in the future. We signed up for their maintenance plan and feel very confident that Conejo Services will meet our needs now and in the future. Thank you for giving us peace of mind!

This company really stands behind its work. I have the platinum maintenance for my both HVAC and plumbing, both installed by them and it really pays off. The plumbing area, especially, led by Andrew Dilger and team are honest, thorough, skilled and offer options from minimal to full overhaul with pro’s and cons and short vs. long-term financial differentials of each approach. I have an older home with pipes at end of their 60 year shelf-life and it’s a new area for me. It’s really great to be able to trust a company when the product isn’t visible, but buried in the ground. I liked Derek who identified a potential issue during normal maintenance and the oversight of Andrew confirming it and best approach. I think it’s the honest approach set by senior management, including Andrew, Ralph and others. And highly professional! Kudos!

We were on Conejo’s maintenance plan for a while. We found they were very thorough in checking our A/C, plumbing and electric systems. It is worth considering these plans.

We had other work done where we felt the pricing was quite high, like for a garbage disposal and for installing a tankless hot water heater. So consumers should be sure to do price comparisons.

When they put in our tankless hot water heater, there were a couple of code violations that needed to be corrected, plus we had some questions about the costs. But when our concerns finally reached the Customer Service managers, their response was excellent and all our concerns were immediately and satisfactorily resolved.

I strongly suggest getting cost estimates from other companies before hiring Conejo. I was provided an estimate of $7149 to perform what turned out to be 7 hours of work by two (relatively low paid) employees and a couple hours to use specialty equipment to pinpoint failure point. I had a blockage in my home sewer system caused by root intrusion. By using their tool inserted into the sewer pipe they said the blockage was 8 feet deep and under my concrete entryway walkway and would therefore take two workmen 2 to 3 days to complete the repairs. I questioned that pricing since it seemed too high and was provided a reduction of $850 to $6299. That still seemed like a high price but I needed to get the work done quickly so I accepted the bid. (My big mistake.) I monitored the work when their two workmen came to make the repairs. I am retired from SoCalGas so have some knowledge about excavating and fixing damaged pipe. The sewer pipe was only 3 feet deep, not 8 feet deep. The work involved digging and exposing the 4-inch plastic sewer pipe and then cutting out a 3-foot section and installing new pipe, then backfilling the excavation (which was done poorly – was not well compacted – I did this after they left as best I could. I hope my entryway sidewalk doesn’t fail/crack in the future.) They completed the work in 7 hours. I then contacted Conejo and asked to them to reconsider the price since the basis of the estimate was incorrect. I eventually spoke with their plumbing manager, Nick, who said he would speak with the person who developed the estimate and get back to me. Nick never got back to me even though I called their offices twice and texted Nick. The next contact I had from Conejo was a revised bill reducing the charge by $500, leaving me with a bill of $5799. On the positive side, the people I spoke with in their billing and/or scheduling department with friendly and responsive.

Outstanding Service from Alfredo at Conejo Valley Heating and AC

We’ve had ongoing AC issues for a couple of years, and after trying other companies, we finally found the solution with Alfredo from Conejo Valley Heating and AC. The level of professionalism and quality of work Alfredo delivered was unparalleled.

From the moment he arrived, Alfredo impressed us with his attention to detail—respecting our home by wearing booties and carefully assessing the situation. He identified the root cause of our AC problems, taking his time and staying late into the afternoon, even after a long, busy day. As the last appointment of the day, Alfredo made sure our AC was fully repaired before leaving.

Beyond fixing the immediate issue, Alfredo also provided valuable advice and options for maintaining our AC in the future, along with some helpful plumbing suggestions. His dedication to his craft and customer service is truly world-class.

We highly recommend requesting Alfredo if you’re considering Conejo Valley Heating and AC. We’ve permanently requested him as our go-to technician for any future needs. His work is simply outstanding, and we couldn’t be more satisfied with the service.

A home inspection was done for the sale of our home and the inspector flagged our furnace as not having a furnace door switch and being a potential fire hazard. Parker arrived to open the furnace door to find that the switch had a piece of black tape over it to protect it, he removed said tape, job done. Unreal. Thanks Parker.

Gave us an estimate and we decided to wait a few months before booking. I called when we were ready to book, but the person they directed us to never called us back!

We ended up choosing another local plumber who charged half what CVHAPR quoted us. I'm so glad we got a second opinion.

Parker was awesome! He was very informative and answered our million questions! Looking forward to working with him again soon! Thank you Parker!!!

Installation of New Pipes

The time period for this step varies depending on the type of piping you opt for. If you’re repiping with PEX, it is quicker and easier to install as it is lightweight and flexible. Plus, this type of pipe doesn’t need welding or fittings. However, if piping in your home needs to enter or come out the walls, opt for copper.

There won’t be any long water shut-offs while the process is happening. Usually, old piping continues to work until the new piping is up.

Switching from Old to the New

The step is probably the longest when you repipe a house. It is because it involves a tie-in to connect your main plumbing system to the city water. The repipe specialists need to remove the connection from the old piping system and put it on the new piping.

Cleaning Up

Last but not least, the step involves cleaning up the mess the whole house repiping creates. The workers will repair the holes made in walls, ceilings, and floors. Rest assured that professional plumbing specialists don’t leave you to clean up the mess they made. They remove everything from debris to leftovers of previous piping. A reputable company leaves your house as clean as it was before the process.

How Long Does It Take to Repipe a House?

Repiping for a whole house typically takes two days to seven days, depending on the kind of piping system you need and the home’s size. The process begins with repiping preparations. Most plumbing experts use PEX pipe as it makes the process minimally invasive, thus lowering the risks at the construction site and around the home.

What to Expect When Repiping a House

Replacing your home’s piping is an extensive process. Here’s what you can expect when opting for the process.

Repiping Preparations

As described above, the preparation work for whole house repiping is often pretty straightforward. It begins by inspecting the plumbing system to estimate the piping requirements and cost of the process. A comprehensive estimate explains the type of piping you need to place in the home.

During the Installation

You’ll need to set down tarps for items and flooring that can suffer from damage if the plumbing leaks during the process. The installation process takes a week or two, depending on the plumbing requirements unique to your project. Your plumber can shut off the water supply for a limited time (for a few hours) a day during the installation.

After the Installation

Your repipe specialists will test the pipes before wrapping up the process. They also ensure the ceilings and walls are sealed properly.

How Much Does It Cost?

The average cost to repipe a house has a broad strike zone. We say this because it depends on how much repiping your home needs. Whether you want to redo the whole house or need to replace the connection between the home and the meter, repiping costs could fall between 2 thousand dollars to 10 thousand dollars.

Of course, you have the option to re-line the existing pipes instead of replacing them. If you use trenchless technology, it is far less resource and labor-intensive compared to digging out old pipes. This is a savvy way to reduce repair costs and extend the life of water pipes. Make sure you discuss how much repiping a house costs before the process begins.

Factors Affecting the Cost of Repiping

The Best Pipe to Use for Repiping

Typically, many homeowners opt for copper pipes as they are popular for their durability. However, if your home is an old construction, it may have galvanized steel pipes. The pipes are long-lasting, so they are prone to springing leaks. Even if the pipes are not old, leaks can indicate that it’s time to replace them.

However, as technology has advanced in the plumbing industry, the newer materials for repiping a house are available in the market. PEX, for instance, is cross-linked polythene that works well for both hot and cold water situations. Compared to copper, repiping with PEX is more flexible and easier when space is narrower.

Let’s compare both the materials to help you make an informed decision.

Copper vs PEX

You need to consider a few things when choosing or picking one pip over the other.

a. PEX Pipes

As mentioned earlier, copper pipes are usually prone to leaks, and these small holes may cause because minerals are present in the ground and the water. Therefore, PEX is a preferable choice. It has fewer joints and doesn’t crack in cold temperatures.

Following are benefits you may get by choosing PEX pipes:

Pros

PEX repiping is more durable against corrosion and chlorine
PEX pipes are flexible and easily bend around the corners, unlike copper pipes that need fitting to fit properly
PEX pipes don’t make running water sound obvious through pipes
Attaching PEX pipes to the existing copper structure is possible. If replacing everything at once is unaffordable, repiping with PEX is an ideal option.
Shipping PEX pipes are cheaper as they are lighter and come in larger spools.
PEX helps conserve energy.
PEX material doesn’t heat up like copper piping

Cons

b. Copper

While many homeowners think PEX piping is the way to go, they are not suitable for all areas. Copper, in this regard, is the oldest option for repiping. It is long-lasting and can be used outside the home structure.

Following are benefits you may get by choosing the copper pipes:

Pros

You can purchase copper pipes in soft and rigid forms. Plumbers trust copper for durability.
Repiping with copper is great for the tap water system and HVAC.
Soft copper is ideal for heat pumps and air conditioners
You can use rigid copper pipes for water lines as they stand heat better than PEX
Recycling copper is possible, which makes it an eco-friendly option
Copper comes color-coded. Red is for hot and blue is for cold
Fitting that copper pipes use is almost leak-proof
Copper doesn’t make toxic gasses if the home catches fire
Copper is excellent for pipes to run outside of the house because the UV rays don’t affect it

Cons

Since you know the positive sides of PEX and copper piping, you can make the choice that fits your home’s plumbing needs the most.

Benefits to Repiping Your Home

Still unsure why you should choose the whole house repiping? Check out these benefits of installing new pipes in the house.

Upgrades Plumbing System

By far, you have learned that pipes do not last forever. If you live in a region with harsh climate conditions or your home is just old, they may begin to wear off after a few years. Repiping is an excellent solution to improve water quality and prevent past plumbing problems.

Fixes Cold Issues and Water Pressure

A variety of factors may affect water pressure in a home. These include issues with the main water supply, multiple water sources in one house, and leaking pipes. If pipes in your home are corroding, it can also lead to water pressure issues. The best way to prevent this from occurring is pipe replacement.

Protects Against Water Damage

Don’t wait for things to go wrong to change the piping in your home. Repiping a house before an emergency plumbing issue arises is an ideal way to protect your home from water damage.
