If you're patching leak after leak, seeing rusty or discolored water, or fighting weak pressure at every fixture, the pipes themselves are usually the problem — not the last spot that failed. Riverside has a lot of older housing with original galvanized steel supply lines that corrode and close up from the inside, plus aging copper that develops pinhole leaks, and no amount of spot repairs fixes an aging system.
A whole-home repipe replaces your failing supply lines with modern PEX or copper, and it ends the cycle of surprise leaks for good. We plan the job around access, keep wall and ceiling openings to a minimum, and coordinate the restoration so you're not left with a mess. We also replace corroded water service lines running from the meter to the house.
It's a bigger project, so we treat it that way: a clear written scope covering pipe material, fixtures and valves, access, permits, restoration, testing, and warranty — no vague promises.
Signs your home needs repiping
- Repeated leaks in different spots — you're always fixing something
- Rusty, brown, or discolored water, especially on first draw
- Low water pressure throughout the whole house
- Original galvanized supply lines in a pre-1970s home
- Pinhole leaks recurring in old copper
- Water that's discolored or tastes metallic

A published range for a 1,500-square-foot home is $6,448–$9,436, with broader guidance of $3,600–$18,000. Your written quote spells out pipe material, access, openings, fixtures and valves, permits, restoration, testing, and warranty.
Both are excellent. PEX is flexible, freeze-tolerant, and cost-effective, and it resists the scale that Riverside's hard water leaves in copper. We'll walk you through the trade-offs for your home.
When inspection shows repeated leaks, corrosion, restricted flow, or discolored water across multiple fixtures. A single fixture problem doesn't mean you need a repipe — we'll give you an honest repair-vs-repipe comparison.
We plan the runs to keep wall and ceiling openings to a minimum and coordinate the restoration. It's disruptive for a few days but far less than people expect, and it ends the leaks for good.
Most homes are repiped in a few days depending on size, stories, and access. We keep your water on as much as possible and coordinate the drywall patch-up afterward.
