Repiping Services

Homes built before 1970 in Long Beach often still have their original galvanized steel supply lines. Galvanized pipe corrodes from the inside out — rust and mineral scale accumulate on the interior walls, progressively reducing water pressure, discoloring water, and eventually causing pinhole leaks. If you're seeing brown or reddish water when you first turn on a tap, experiencing noticeably low pressure at multiple fixtures, or dealing with frequent pinhole leaks, galvanized repiping is the permanent solution.

We repipe homes using Type L copper pipe — the industry standard for residential water supply — or cross-linked polyethylene (PEX) tubing, which offers flexibility advantages for retrofitting through walls and attic spaces with fewer fittings and joints. PEX is highly resistant to freeze-thaw damage, scale buildup, and corrosion, and its color-coded red and blue lines make hot and cold circuits easy to identify. Your choice of material depends on your home's layout, budget, and local water chemistry.

A full repipe of a typical Long Beach 3-bedroom home typically takes 1–2 days. We work methodically through the home, minimizing the number of wall cuts and patching drywall cleanly where access was needed. Water service is restored each evening so the home remains livable throughout the project. At completion, we pressure-test the entire new system before closing any walls. A repipe also dramatically increases home value and can reduce homeowner's insurance premiums by eliminating a major water damage risk.
