What Is Repiping?

Repiping replaces your home’s existing water lines with new, long-lasting piping (often PEX). It solves problems like frequent leaks, discolored water, and pressure fluctuations—and helps prevent costly water damage down the road.

For homeowners in Canton, GA, repiping is also an investment in comfort and safety. New piping ensures reliable water flow, cleaner drinking water, and peace of mind knowing your plumbing system can handle daily demand without hidden leaks or sudden failures.

Signs You May Need a Repipe

It’s hard to know if your pipes really need to be replaced without physically seeing them—but there are a few things you can keep an eye (and an ear) out for.

Frequent leaks

Frequent leaks can weaken your pipes over time. If you repair a leak only for it to return, it’s a strong sign your plumbing needs a permanent solution. As pipe walls thin, they become more likely to burst—making repiping the safer, long-term fix.

Rusty/yellow water

It’s normal if a little rust clears after running the tap for a few seconds. What’s not normal is a steady flow of yellow or brown water from every faucet, regardless of temperature. If discoloration appears only in your hot water, the issue may be with your water heater rather than your pipes.

Noisy pipes

Your pipes shouldn’t bang, clang, or squeal when you turn on the water. Unusual noises can signal underlying pipe damage. Don’t ignore the sounds—schedule a professional inspection to identify and fix the problem before it gets worse.

Visible corrosion

Rust never rests, and your pipes are no exception. If you notice corrosion—whether as rust stains, flaky spots, or discoloration—it’s a warning sign that a pipe failure could be near. Replacing damaged pipes now can help you avoid a costly burst later.

Water Pressure

In older pipes, fluctuating water pressure is a common issue and may point to sediment buildup inside the lines. Excessively high pressure can stress your pipes and even cause them to burst, while buildup is often a sign of aging plumbing. If you’re noticing these problems, it may be time to consider a repiping service.

Temperature swings

If your shower suddenly turns hot or cold when someone flushes a toilet, aging pipes may be the cause. As pipe walls narrow over time, water flow becomes restricted—leading to drastic temperature changes during everyday use.

Our Repiping Process

1. Consultation & Quote - A repipe specialist inspects your plumbing, measures line runs, and provides a clear, written estimate (whole-house or partial).

1. Prep - We will ask you to remove your belongings from the areas we need to access. Relocate your items to a safe area, as they must stay there during the repiping installation process. Once you’ve moved your items, we will prep your space with floor and furniture coverings.

3) Repiping (PEX Preferred) - We remove aging lines and install new PEX water pipes—flexible, durable, and a trusted alternative to copper. Fixtures and drains are typically not included unless requested.

4. Finish & Test - We pressure-test, flush the system, verify flow/temperature, then patch access points and tidy the workspace.

Benefits of Repiping

Did you know that a repiping service can take as little as one day? The best part is you’ll experience the benefits of new pipes as soon as we’re finished with our repiping.

  • Stronger water pressure and consistent temperatures
  • Cleaner, fresher water (no rust from old lines)
  • Fewer leaks & repairs—protects walls, floors, and fixtures
  • Energy & water savings from a tighter system
  • Home value boost with modern piping
  • Improve Appliances—Poor water pressure can affect appliances like washing machines and dishwashers. If you’ve ever opened your dishwasher to dirty plates after you’ve run a cycle, a repiping job may work in your favor.

How long does repiping take?
It depends on the state of your pipework. Repiping could take as little as one day or as long as one week. Larger homes with more bathrooms can also add to the timeline.
What pipes are included during a repipe?
All water pipes are included in our repiping services. Please note that drains are not part of the repiping process.
Will my water be shut off?
Yes, temporarily during active work. We plan stages to minimize downtime and restore service daily whenever possible.
Can repiping fix my water taste/smell?
Your water should never smell or taste like sulfur. If it does, you could have a corrosion problem. Metal that corrodes and flakes into your drinking and bathing water isn’t safe, so make sure you call a qualified plumber as soon as you notice an issue.
What is the cost of repiping?
It depends on the size of your home and whether you opt for a whole-house or partial repipe. A partial repipe may include only vertical pipes or only horizontal pipes.
Copper vs. PEX—what’s better?
For most Canton homes, PEX offers excellent durability, fewer fittings, and lower cost with great performance.
Can I do a partial repipe?
Absolutely. We can target problem areas (verticals/horizontals or by zone) and plan for future phases.
