Whole-house pipes

Brampton Whole-Home Repiping

A full repipe swaps every supply run in the house, from the meter to each fixture stop. It is a big job, but in a home with failing pipe it ends years of patching pinhole leaks.

Signs it may be time

  • Several pinhole leaks in copper within a few years
  • Grey polybutylene supply lines from the late 1970s to 1990s
  • Galvanized steel pipes with poor pressure and rusty water
  • Low pressure that improves only after replacing pipe

How a repipe is planned

New lines are usually PEX, which is flexible and snakes through walls with fewer openings. We map the house, plan where to run new lines through basement ceilings and walls, and keep the old system working until the new one is ready, so the taps keep working for most of each day.

  1. Survey the existing piping and plan new routes.
  2. Run new supply lines and manifolds.
  3. Connect fixtures one area at a time.
  4. Pressure test, then remove or abandon old lines.

Life during the job

Most repipes in a detached house take a few days. Drywall openings are kept small, and we can recommend someone to patch and paint. A permit and inspection may be required, and good practice is to replace the main shut-off at the same time.

Questions we get

Copper or PEX?

Either one does the job. PEX costs less, has fewer joints and resists freezing better. Copper is durable but more expensive to install.
