Repiping & Pipe Replacement in Tyler, TX
When pipes leak again and again, or the water pressure fades year after year, replacing them can cost less in the long run than chasing leaks.
Request a plumberSigns it's time
Several leaks in a few years, rusty or brown water, low pressure at every tap, green crusty fittings or very old galvanized steel pipe.
Older homes
Tyler's Brick Streets and Charnwood historic districts have homes from the late 1800s and early 1900s. Houses that old may have had their pipes replaced in stages, so different parts of the house can be very different ages.
Copper or PEX
Copper is long-lasting and familiar. PEX is flexible, needs fewer joints and is quicker to run through finished walls. The plumber will explain what suits your home.
Under-slab lines
On slab homes, new lines often go through the attic and walls instead of under the floor. That can also end the risk of future slab leaks on those lines. See slab leak repair.
Disruption
Most repipes involve small openings in walls and ceilings that are patched afterwards. Ask who handles the patching and painting, and plan around kitchens and bathrooms being out of use for part of a day.
Getting a quote
Ask what pipe material is proposed, how many openings will be made, whether permits and patching are included and how long you will be without water. A good quote also says whether new shut-off valves are fitted at each fixture.
