Questions
Asked every week.
How do I know I need a repipe?
Rusty water first thing in the morning, pressure that drops when two taps run, pinhole leaks more than once a year. 1950s–70s Fremont tract homes with original galvanized pipe are the usual case.
PEX or copper?
PEX is quicker, quieter and handles hard water better; copper is the traditional choice and some buyers like to see it. We price both on the scope.
How many holes in the walls?
Usually eight to fourteen openings in a three-bath house, cut square and closed by us. Texture and paint by your painter or ours.
