A lot of older San Antonio homes still run on galvanized steel or early plastic pipe. Over the years that steel rusts from the inside out. You get brown water in the morning, weak pressure in the shower, and pinhole leaks that show up one after another. When you're patching a new spot every few months, you're past the point of fixing one pipe. The whole system needs to go.

A repipe starts with a walk-through. Our plumber checks your pressure, looks at exposed lines in the attic and under the slab, and traces where the water runs. Then we lay out the plan: which walls we open, where the new lines go, and how long your water is off each day. We run fresh copper or PEX to every fixture, tie in your water heater and shut-offs, pressure-test the system, and patch the access points we opened. You get a house that runs clean and quiet again.

San Antonio's hard, mineral-heavy water is rough on old pipe. It leaves scale that chokes flow and speeds up corrosion. That's why homes in Alamo Heights, Monte Vista, and Terrell Hills with original plumbing tend to fail around the same age. Our clay-heavy soil shifts with the wet and dry seasons too, which stresses lines running under the slab. A full repipe gets you off that cycle of chasing leaks in older neighborhoods like Southtown and Olmos Park.

We repipe homes across the metro, from Stone Oak and Leon Valley to Helotes, Boerne, Schertz, and out to New Braunfels and Cibolo. If you've been living with buckets under the sink and rusty water, tell us what's going on and we'll come take a real look.

Common questions

How long does a whole-home repipe take?
Most homes take one to three days depending on size, how many bathrooms you have, and whether lines run through the slab or the attic. We tell you the daily schedule up front, including how many hours the water will be off each day, so you can plan around it.
Do you use copper or PEX?
Both. PEX is flexible, resists San Antonio's hard-water scale well, and lets us route lines with fewer wall openings. Copper is the older standard and still solid. Our plumber will walk you through which fits your home and layout during the estimate.
Will you have to tear open my walls?
We open only the access points we need to reach the lines, usually small cuts near fixtures and connection points. We plan the route to keep openings to a minimum and we patch them back up when the new pipe is in and tested.
Can I stay in the house during the repipe?
Yes, most people do. Water gets shut off in stretches while we work, and we let you know each morning when it'll be down. If you have a one-bathroom home, we try to schedule the shut-offs so you're not left without water overnight.
