Signs You Need a Repipe

We recommend getting new pipes throughout your home if it’s more than 50 years old. Many older homes have pipes made of galvanized steel, which doesn’t have as long of a lifespan as modern materials. You should also consider undergoing a repipe plumbing service if you’re doing any extensive renovations to your home, such as a kitchen or bathroom remodel. 

Check out other common signs you need a repiping service below. 

Frequent Leaks

Most Phoenix homeowners deal with plumbing leaks at one point or another. Patching the pipe will likely resolve the problem, but call our experts if you start experiencing frequent leaks throughout your home. It could indicate that your pipes are starting to fail and need replacing.

Rusty Water

Do you turn on your faucet only to see the water trickling out with a reddish-brown tint? You likely have rusty water coming through your plumbing system. This is a telltale sign of pipe corrosion that our plumbers need to inspect.

Over time, your piping material will wear and begin to disintegrate. Old pipes made of galvanized steel are especially prone to rusting and may begin to affect your water supply as they continue to deteriorate. A repiping service will remove all of the old water pipes and replace them with sturdy copper or crosslinked polyethylene pipes, both of which resist corrosion.

Low Water Pressure

Keep an eye out for any changes in your water pressure. You might experience weak water pressure if your pipes have a buildup of debris inside them. Mineral deposits accumulate inside pipes over time which restricts the flow of water.

Plumbers can inspect the condition of your pipes and recommend solutions. A full repipe plumbing service might be the ideal fix so you don’t have to worry about ongoing pipe deterioration and mineral buildup. Let our experts replace your home’s pipe system and say “goodbye” to low water pressure making your plumbing fixtures hard to use.

Unpleasant Odors

A foul odor coming from your water supply usually indicates a full pipe replacement is necessary. Reach out to Day & Night Air Conditioning, Heating & Plumbing for a thorough pipe inspection so we can locate the source of the problem. Unpleasant smells wafting from your water may be due to decaying pipes that contaminate the water and make it unsafe for consumption.

Our Repiping Process

Every repipe plumbing project varies in terms of scope, but our experts follow the same process every time. Find out what you can expect when you contact Day & Night Air Conditioning, Heating & Plumbing for whole-house repiping.

Initial Inspection and Consultation

Since whole-house repiping isn’t as common as other plumbing services, you’re probably unsure of what the project entails. When you contact our friendly plumbers, we’ll schedule a consultation to inspect your pipes and explain the process to you. Our experts will assess the amount of new piping material your home needs and give you an estimate of what it will cost.

This appointment is the ideal time to ask questions about our process, including:

• The total timeline
• Project cost and financing options
• The type of equipment we use
• Lifespan of your new pipes

Following our inspection, we’ll make a plan for replacing your old or damaged pipes. Let us know if you have certain areas of your home you prefer to be off-limits during the installation process. We can adjust our installation plans if necessary to access the pipes in these areas.

Preparing for the Repipe

Whole-home repiping often requires permits from city officials to make sure you’re in compliance with local building codes and regulations. As part of your project preparation, our plumbing professionals will acquire the necessary permits before we begin. We’ll let you know ahead of time which areas of your home we need to access and ask you to clear any clutter in those areas, including:

• Cabinets below sinks
• The ground near appliances like water heaters, dishwashers, and washing machines
• Spaces around your bathroom’s plumbing fixtures

A repipe plumbing project can be messy since contractors have to cut into drywall to access pipes. We keep your home tidy by covering and flooring and furniture. The final bit of preparation involves shutting off your water supply to avoid flooding during the replacement.

Pipe Installation

Now comes the most time-consuming part of a repiping service. Experts must carefully remove the existing pipe system and install high-quality pipes in its place. The process usually takes between one to three days to complete, depending on the size of your home’s piping system.

We work on replacing the pipes in different areas of your home with either copper or cross-linked polyethylene, also known as PEX pipes. The most common rooms where our plumbers have to work include the kitchen, bathrooms, and attic, though we may need to access the pipes from a wall in a different room.

Don’t worry about using your fixtures if the repiping takes a few days to complete. We’ll turn your water supply back on before leaving each day and make sure your piping system works until we resume our work.

Final Inspection and Finishing Touches

Once we finish installing the new pipes, our specialists will verify that everything works properly and no plumbing issues remain. We’ll perform an inspection that checks for the following:

• Proper water supply connections
• Plumbing work doesn’t violate local building codes
• No ongoing issues like weak water pressure or discolored water

In addition, our experts will leave your home in good condition by repairing any cuts that we make to the walls or floors. The repiping process not only calls for major changes to your plumbing system but also changes to some of your home’s structures, including drywall. Once our plumbers verify the pipes are good to go, we’ll have home improvement specialists patch up any holes in the wall and match the paint so you never notice a difference.
