What Is Whole-Home Repipe (PEX / Copper)?
A project that replaces all interior potable water distribution—hot and cold—from the main entry to fixtures.
We design the routing, choose PEX-A or Type L copper based on code, site conditions, and your preference, then rough-in new lines, pressure test, sanitize/flush, and complete tie-ins with modern shutoffs. Walls/ceilings are opened surgically and patched/painted per your preference.
Why Choose White Glove Plumbing
Compliance & safety first: Technicians trained in code-compliant installation, safe shutdown, and inspection workflows.
Documented quality: Pressure-hold logs, photos, materials list, permits/inspection sign-offs for your records.
Beyond supply lines: We can replace angle stops and supply hoses, add PRV/expansion tank, and set leak sensors.
One accountable team: If prior leaks caused damage, our mitigation/restoration crews can coordinate repairs.
Immediate Actions (What to Do Now)
Shut off the main if you’re actively leaking; relieve pressure at a hose bib.
Turn off the water heater (and recirculation pump, if present).
Note trouble areas (warm floors, green staining, low-pressure zones).
Clear access to the water heater, manifolds, and under-sink cabinets.
Call our 24/7 dispatcher—we’ll assess, stabilize, and plan a repipe timeline.
Common Situations We Handle
Recurring pinholes in copper and slab-leak histories
Galvanized/corroded lines causing low pressure and discoloration
Mixed, piecemeal plumbing from past remodels needing standardization
Major renovations or ADU additions where repipe is most efficient
Insurance/HOA requirements after water-loss claims
Noisy pipes, temperature swings, or scald risk needing layout fixes
Secure & Survey
Map fixtures, manifolds, and pipe paths; verify code requirements and shutoff locations.
Design & Permitting
Select PEX-A manifold home-runs or Type L copper trunk-and-branch; pull permits and schedule inspections.
Isolation & Rough-In
Protect finishes; run new lines with supports, sleeves, nail plates, firestop, and insulation where required.
Tie-Ins & Upgrades
Install full-port ball valves, replace angle stops/supplies, set PRV/expansion tank as indicated; ensure water-heater connections meet code.
Pressure Test & Sanitize
Perform documented pressure holds; flush/sanitize potable lines and balance hot/cold.
Verification & Close-Out
Inspector walk-throughs, photo documentation, labeled shutoffs, and patch/paint coordination; provide maintenance tips.

Whole-home layout & permit-ready plan
New PEX-A or Type L copper distribution with code-rated fittings
Valve/angle-stop upgrades and labeled shutoffs
Pressure testing & line sanitization before service

Costs & Timelines (What to Expect)
Typical duration: Many single-story homes complete in 1–3 days; multi-story or complex layouts may require phased work.
Cost drivers: Story count/attic access, fixture quantity, material choice (PEX vs. copper), permits/inspections, and finish restoration.
Clear estimate: Line items for materials, labor, valves/fixtures, inspections, and (if needed) restoration—no surprises.
Insurance & Compliance Support
Records your stakeholders expect: Time-stamped notes, pressure logs, permit numbers, inspection approvals, and materials list.
Policy alignment: We follow building SOPs and provide COIs; invoices can separate diagnostics vs. repipe vs. restoration.
Water quality considerations: We review PRV/expansion, dielectric unions, and thermal balance to prevent future issues.
Risks of Waiting (Why Act Now)
Surprise leaks and escalating water damage/mold
Rust/scale restricting flow and damaging fixtures/appliances
Energy waste and temperature instability from compromised lines
Higher premiums/denied claims after repeated water losses

Best practices: Proper support spacing, firestopping, dielectric protection, and thermal expansion control.
Testing: Documented static/dynamic pressure holds and fixture run-ups.
Site care: Floor/wall protection, HEPA vacuuming, and daily tidy.
Training: Code-compliant installation, safe shutdown, and inspection readiness.
Frequently Asked Questions
PEX or copper—which is better?
Depends on your goals and code. PEX-A offers flexible routing and fewer fittings; Type L copper is time-tested and heat-tolerant. We’ll recommend based on site and regulations.
Will my water be off the whole time?
No—we plan phased shutoffs and often restore partial service the same day.
Do you handle permits and inspections?
Yes—we pull permits, schedule inspections, and provide documentation.
Will you repair the walls/ceilings you open?
Yes—we offer patch/paint coordination or can hand off to your contractor.
Can you add a PRV, expansion tank, or recirculation loop?
Absolutely—we’ll evaluate and upgrade supporting components during the repipe.
Are drains included?
This service covers potable water lines. We can quote drain/vent work separately if needed.
