Polybutylene, galvanised, or copper that has started pinholing: at some point patching each new leak costs more than replacing the system. A repipe is disruptive for a few days and then you stop thinking about it for thirty years.
Whole-home repipes run $6,800 to $14,000 depending on size and finish.
What the job includes
- Full plan of the new runs before anything opens
- Water on every night, without exception
- Manifold layout so any fixture can be isolated later
- All openings patched to paint-ready
- Pressure test and city inspection on completion
What moves the number
- Copper or PEX
- PEX is roughly 30% less and quicker. Copper suits exposed runs and some buyers prefer it.
- Slab or attic
- Attic routing is standard here. Slab-routed homes take longer and cost more.
- Fixture count
- Each additional bathroom adds roughly $1,100.
