Repiping in the SGV
Galvanized supply pipe from the postwar building boom is wearing out across the valley. Text (310) 628-9399.
The postwar pipe problem
Homes built in the valley's boom years were often plumbed with galvanized steel. Decades of mineral-rich water narrow and rust it.
Partial repipes target the worst runs; whole-house repipes replace them all.
PEX or copper
PEX is flexible with fewer wall openings; copper is rigid and long-lived.
How it goes
We plan the routes, install new lines and shutoffs, and pressure-test everything.
Access points are patched afterward.
Which homes benefit most
Houses built in the boom years with original galvanized pipe see the biggest gain.
Newer copper homes rarely need more than a partial repipe.
Questions we hear around the valley
How do I know I need a repipe?
Repeat leaks, rusty water and low flow everywhere.
Can you repipe a condo?
Often, depending on the building.
