Pipe Repair & Repiping FAQs
How do I know if my home needs repiping?
Signs your home needs repiping include frequent pipe leaks, rusty or discolored water, low water pressure throughout the house, visible corrosion on exposed pipes, and pinhole leaks. Charlotte homes built before 1985 with galvanized steel or polybutylene pipes are especially likely candidates for whole-house repiping.
How much does whole-house repiping cost in Charlotte?
Whole-house repiping in Charlotte typically costs $4,000-$10,000 for an average-sized home depending on the number of fixtures, pipe material chosen (PEX or copper), and accessibility. We provide detailed upfront quotes after an in-home assessment. Financing options are available for larger projects.
How long does repiping a house take?
Most whole-house repiping projects take 2-5 days for a typical Charlotte home. Smaller homes or condos may be completed in 1-2 days. The timeline depends on the number of fixtures, accessibility of existing pipes, and whether wall or ceiling repairs are needed after installation.
What pipe material do you recommend for repiping?
We primarily use PEX (cross-linked polyethylene) for residential repiping. PEX is flexible, resistant to freezing, corrosion-proof, and less expensive than copper. It is also faster to install, which reduces labor costs. For specific applications, we also use copper where building codes or homeowner preference requires it.
Can you repair a single pipe without repiping the whole house?
Absolutely. We always assess whether a spot repair is sufficient before recommending whole-house repiping. If you have an isolated leak or damaged section, we can repair or replace just that portion. We will be honest about when a spot repair is the right fix and when broader repiping would save you money long-term.
