WHOLE-HOME REPIPING
Old pipes? Repipe once and stop patching leaks.
Homes built across Pinellas County in the 1950s–1990s often have galvanized steel or polybutylene water lines. Both are past their expected life. Galvanized pipe rusts from the inside and chokes water pressure; polybutylene can fail without warning. A whole-home repipe replaces the supply lines with modern PEX or copper so you can stop chasing one leak after another.
WARNING SIGNS
Do any of these sound familiar?
- Gray polybutylene or rusty galvanized pipe
- Low water pressure throughout the house
- Rusty or discolored water
- Repeated pinhole leaks or slab leaks
HOW WE HANDLE IT
Our approach
We confirm what pipe you have and plan the new routing, usually through the attic and walls, to minimize opening drywall. We schedule the work to keep water off for as little time as possible, pressure-test the new system and handle the required permit and inspection.
Some insurance carriers ask about polybutylene or galvanized plumbing when writing or renewing a policy. Replacing it can matter for coverage as well as reliability.

FAQ
Whole-Home Repiping: common questions
How do I know if I have polybutylene pipe?
It is usually gray (sometimes blue or black) flexible plastic, often stamped “PB2110”. It was common in homes built from roughly 1978 to 1995.
PEX or copper?
Both are reliable. PEX is flexible, quick to install and resists scale; copper is long-lasting and rigid. We recommend based on your home and budget.
How long does a repipe take?
Many single-family homes take a few days, with water restored at the end of each workday where possible. We give you a schedule up front.
