Water Lines

What a Repipe or Water Line Repair Includes

Whole-home repiping, PEX or copper, water line repair, water service replacement, shutoff valves and low pressure. We use PEX or copper, and the quote says which and why. A single pinhole on otherwise sound copper is a repair. Galvanized that is closed down to a pencil is a repipe. The main shutoff and the pressure-reducing valve are part of that conversation, because a valve you cannot close is not a real shutoff. Active leaks are on the leak and pipe repair page.

Why Older Homes Around Bothell Get Repiped

A lot of houses between Everett and Seattle still have galvanized supply lines or cast iron drains. Galvanized closes from the inside, so every fixture gets weak at once. That is a different problem from one clogged aerator. We will open a fitting and show you the pipe before we recommend a whole-home job. Planning the hot water at the same time? See water heaters, or call (425) 426-6747.

Repiping Questions

What owners ask before they repipe a house.

PEX or copper?

Copper is rigid and familiar. PEX is faster through existing walls and handles a freeze better. We recommend one for your house and put the reason on the quote.

Not usually. We plan the runs to limit openings, and we tell you which ones before we cut. We do not promise a repipe with no drywall work.

No. A clogged aerator, a failing pressure-reducing valve or a partly closed stop can look the same. We check those before we talk about new pipe.
