Replace failing galvanized, polybutylene, or corroded pipe systems with long-lasting copper or PEX — minimal disruption, drywall patched and finished after.
Complete replacement of all supply lines throughout the home. We work section by section to keep water on whenever possible during the job. Most full re-pipes take 2–4 days for an average single-family home.
When only specific sections of pipe are failing — isolated pinhole leaks in copper, a single corroded galvanized branch, or polybutylene in one zone — a partial re-pipe is a cost-effective solution.
Galvanized steel pipe common in pre-1965 Colorado homes corrodes from the inside, reducing water pressure and contaminating water with iron and scale. We replace with copper or PEX-A and restore full flow.
Gray polybutylene pipe installed in homes from the late 1970s through the mid-1990s has a documented failure rate due to chlorine sensitivity. Most insurance companies flag it. We remove and replace completely.
Type L copper is our preferred material for main supply lines — long-lasting, reliable, and compatible with Northern Colorado's water chemistry. All soldered joints are made by our certified technicians.
PEX-A (expansion PEX) is our preferred flexible pipe for branch lines and tight spaces. It resists freeze damage better than copper and has excellent long-term performance in Colorado's climate.
We inspect your current pipes, identify the material, age, and condition, and give you a clear recommendation — full re-pipe, partial, or targeted repair.
Written quote covering all labor, materials, permit, and drywall patching. No surprises.
We work section by section to minimize downtime. Most homes have water for all but a few hours each day during the job.
All drywall access points patched and finished. System pressure-tested. Permit inspection scheduled and completed.
Galvanized pipe is steel-grey and magnetic. Polybutylene is typically grey or blue plastic, usually stamped "PB2110". We can identify your pipe type during a free assessment.
Yes, always. Drywall patching and finishing is included in every re-pipe quote. We leave walls paint-ready.
We minimize water-off time by working in sections. For most days of the job, water is only off for a few hours. We always coordinate timing with you.
Typically no — re-piping is a preventive maintenance project, not an insured event. However, some insurers reduce premiums or require re-piping as a condition of coverage on older homes. Check with your insurer.
