Boise’s Expert Plumbing & Repiping Solutions
Boise Repiping Experts You Can Trust
If your home was built before the 1970s, its original pipes may have served you well, but they weren't meant to last forever. Whether you’re dealing with low water pressure, recurring leaks, or poor water quality, old pipes are often the culprit. Our pipe replacement services alleviate these common plumbing headaches once and for all.
What is Repiping?
Until the 1970s, most home plumbing systems were built with galvanized pipes—steel pipes coated with zinc. While once the gold standard, this material corrodes over time, restricting water flow and eventually leading to system failure.
Our Pipe Replacement Process
Our repiping services tackle these issues at the source. We’ll:
- Inspect your current plumbing system
- Design a custom replacement plan
- Help you choose a material that suits your budget and preferences
- Remove and dispose of your old pipes
- Install the new pipe network
- Clean up, leaving your home in better condition than when we arrived
Factors to Consider Before Committing to Repiping
- Age and condition: While all galvanized pipes will eventually require replacement, we always look for ways to accommodate your budget and needs. In some cases, total system replacement may not be necessary until a later date.
- Timeline: While repiping timelines vary with the size of the home and the complexity of the job, complete system replacement can take between 2-7 days.
- Materials: Repiping material options include PEX, copper, and PVC. Each material has unique benefits in terms of cost and durability. Rest assured, we’ll help you understand the benefits and limitations of each material.
- Schedule: During the repiping process, some water service disruptions are likely. However, you can feel confident that service will always be restored at the end of each workday. We’ll coordinate with you to minimize disruption and work around your schedule.
Signs Your Home Needs Repiping
When it comes to plumbing problems, your home is a fabulous communicator—you just have to know how to spot common signals. Here are common signs you may need pipe replacement plumbing services:
Discolored Water
Water with a brown, yellow, or reddish tint is a common signal of pipe corrosion. While not an immediate hazard, it’s a telltale sign your pipes are likely deteriorating.
Low Water Pressure
Over time, minerals begin to accumulate in old pipes, slowing flow. If you’ve noticed pressure loss, your old pipes may be the issue.
Frequent Leaks
Occasional plumbing repairs are normal. However, frequent leaks in multiple locations suggest that pipe replacement services may be necessary.
Age of Your Home
If your home was built before 1970 and hasn’t been updated, there’s a good chance you have galvanized pipes. Even if you do not have visible system issues, you will eventually need repiping service.
While this is not a comprehensive list, these are the most common signs you may need repiping. Additional signs to look for are visible water damage, inconsistent water temperature, and visible corrosion on exposed pipes.
Choosing the Right Repiping Material for Your Boise Home
Selecting the right pipe material is crucial for a long-lasting plumbing system in Boise. Our local climate and water conditions influence which option is best for you. We'll help you make an informed choice.
PEX Pipes: The Boise Favorite
PEX (cross-linked polyethylene) is the most popular choice for repiping in Boise, and for good reason. Its flexibility means fewer fittings and less labor, which lowers installation costs. Crucially for the Idaho climate, PEX is freeze-resistant and can expand, reducing the risk of bursting pipes in a cold snap. It also performs exceptionally well with Boise's hard water, as it doesn't corrode or build up scale like older galvanized pipes.
Copper Pipes: The Durable Classic
For homeowners seeking maximum durability, copper repiping is a premium choice that can last over 50 years. While more of an upfront investment, copper pipes can add to your home's resale value. They are naturally biostatic, preventing bacteria growth, and can be used for both indoor and outdoor applications. However, they are more susceptible to freezing than PEX and require more intensive labor for installation.
PVC and CPVC Pipes: For Specific Applications
While standard PVC is not suitable for hot water lines, it remains an excellent, cost-effective choice for drain, waste, and vent lines. For hot water applications where a rigid pipe is needed, we use CPVC. We typically recommend PEX or copper for whole-house water supply systems in Boise for superior performance and longevity.
