Plumbing Repiping Services

Repiping Results

Plumbing systems are designed to last for decades, but even the best materials fail at some point. While older homes are especially vulnerable to plumbing pipe issues, even newer homes may need repiping under particular circumstances.

If you’re currently experiencing issues with your home’s plumbing lines or suspect a problem is developing, now is the time to contact the Aquarius Home Services team for help.

How Do I Know When to Repipe?

In most cases, the Aquarius team recommends repiping of a home’s water supply system when the water pressure is low or leaks are occurring. Corrosion in older pipes significantly reduces the volume of water that can flow through the system.

Pin-hole Leaks are Common

Pin-hole leaks also occur frequently when the water supply includes certain chemicals or minerals that react with the plumbing materials. Before recommending specific solutions, the Aquarius Home Services team of experts evaluates the water supply to ensure corrosion issues won’t be a problem in the future.

Repiping to Sell Home

Of course, prospective home buyers are also more likely to offer more for a home with updated plumbing. We have years of experience repiping and we will take the time to explain the pros and cons of different repiping options.

Our team will review the current system to determine how long your home may be without water during the repiping work. We’ll always discuss when and where the water supply must be off during the repiping process and explore ways to make your life easier when the water supply will be off or limited.

As a rule, we’ll complete repiping projects within a day or two, depending on the size of your home and the location of the water supply lines. Because of our vast experience, our team is generally able to provide accurate estimates of the time needed for repiping homes anywhere in the Twin Cities.

What Factors Impact the Cost of Repiping a Home?

While older homes often have relatively simple plumbing systems, we’ve found that many newer homes include far more complicated networks of pipes supplying water to different parts of those homes. That means the Aquarius team of plumbers will review your home’s entire plumbing system to determine how long the project will take and estimate the cost of materials.

Number of Bathrooms

The number of bathrooms and overall square footage of the home are certainly factors, but where the plumbing lines are installed must also be considered. When a large portion of the system is hidden or otherwise difficult to access, the total cost will be higher.

Ease of Access

Most homes in this region have water supply lines located in basement areas that are easy to get to, but others are built with supply lines buried in concrete, which significantly increases the labor involved. We’ll always discuss your home’s unique conditions to make sure you’re always aware of any possible issues.

Replace Fixtures

It’s also important to consider whether any fixtures will need to be replaced during the repiping. In some cases, corrosion or age make it impractical to reuse some fixtures in your home.

If sinks, showers, toilets, or other fixtures need replacing, the costs will go up to cover those elements. We’ll help you decide when it’s time to upgrade or replace existing fixtures and provide a number of options to consider.

We generally recommend replacing worn or damaged fixtures, but the return on investment should be considered when deciding which elements to replace and which ones to keep. In most cases, not having to worry about additional issues developing in the near future will be important when making your decisions. We’re happy to discuss any concerns you have and recommend solutions designed to fit your family’s needs and budget.
