What We Handle

When Repiping Makes Sense for Greater New Orleans Homes

Your Pipes Are Past Their Lifespan

  • Galvanized steel – 40-50 year lifespan, most are now failing
  • Polybutylene (gray plastic) – Class action settlement material, prone to sudden failure
  • Cast iron drains – 50-75 years, many NOLA homes are in the failure zone
  • Copper – 50-70 years, but NOLA water accelerates corrosion

You Are Experiencing Multiple Symptoms

  • Frequent leaks in different locations throughout the home
  • Rust-colored or discolored water
  • Steadily declining water pressure
  • Visible corrosion on exposed pipes
  • Lead or galvanized supply lines (health concern)
  • Multiple repairs adding up to significant cost
What We Handle

Pipe Materials We Install

PEX (Cross-linked Polyethylene)

  • Flexible – Routes through existing paths with minimal wall damage
  • Freeze-resistant – Expands slightly without bursting
  • Fewer connections – Long runs mean fewer potential leak points
  • Corrosion-proof – Will not rust or scale like metal pipes
  • 25+ year lifespan – Proven durability
  • Cost-effective – Best value for most repiping projects

Copper

  • 50+ year lifespan – When properly installed
  • Naturally antimicrobial – Inhibits bacterial growth
  • Rigid and durable – Best for exposed applications
  • Higher upfront cost – Material and labor more expensive
  • Requires soldering – Professional installation essential

What We Handle

The Repiping Process

Day 1: Preparation

  • Protect floors, furniture, and belongings with drop cloths
  • Mark strategic access points for minimal wall penetration
  • Shut off main water supply
  • Begin removing old pipe sections

Days 2-3: Installation

  • Remove remaining old pipes
  • Install new supply lines throughout home
  • Connect all fixtures and appliances
  • Install new shut-off valves at each fixture
  • Pressure test entire system

Day 4: Completion

  • Patch drywall access points
  • Final pressure testing
  • Water quality flush
  • Walkthrough and explanation
  • Cleanup and debris removal

What About Wall Damage?

We minimize wall damage through:

  • Strategic access points – We plan cuts for minimal visibility
  • Flexible PEX routing – Can often follow existing pipe paths
  • Attic and crawl space access – When available, reduces wall cuts
  • Professional patching – We close access points we create

We patch our drywall access points. Painting and finishing is typically handled separately by the homeowner or a painter.

Most single-family homes can be repiped in 2-4 days. Larger homes or those with complex layouts may take longer. We provide a timeline estimate before work begins.

Water will be off during work hours while pipes are being installed. We typically restore water each evening so you have service overnight. The final day includes full restoration.

Cost depends on home size, number of fixtures, accessibility, and material choice. Most NOLA homes range from 4,000 to 12,000 dollars. We provide detailed quotes after inspection.
