Repiping involves replacing old or damaged pipes in your home with new ones. It’s essential for maintaining water quality and preventing leaks.

Why should I consider repiping?

Charleston’s older homes often have aging plumbing systems. Repiping can prevent frequent leaks, improve water pressure, and ensure better water quality.

How do I know if I need repiping?

Signs you need repiping include frequent leaks, discolored water, and low water pressure. A professional repiping plumber can assess your plumbing system and recommend the best solution.

How long does the repiping process take?

The duration depends on the size of your home and the complexity of the project. Typically, a professional repiping plumber can complete the job within a few days to a week.

Will repiping make a mess in my home?

Experienced repiping plumbers use techniques to minimize disruption and mess. They take care to protect your home and clean up thoroughly after the job is done.

What types of pipes are used in repiping?

Common materials for repiping include copper, PEX, and CPVC. Your repiping plumber can recommend the best option based on your home’s needs and budget.

Is repiping expensive?

The cost varies based on factors like the size of your home and the type of pipes used. However, repiping is a worthwhile investment that can save money on future repairs and water bills.

Repiping Definitions

While plumbing systems are designed to function with minimal maintenance for years, it does become necessary at a certain point to replace pipes. This may be due to damage caused by clogs or outside elements, or it may simply be a result of age taking its toll on the materials from which the pipes are constructed. Repiping is the process of removing old pipes and replacing them with new pipes, made from modern materials that last longer and are less prone to leaking than older materials.

Sewer Line Replacement

Our team often has to start by finding the point along the sewer line where the crack or leaky connection is located. One of the most effective methods for this is smoke testing. One technician pumps smoke into the sewer line while another technician walks the route of the sewer line looking for the wisps of smoke that inevitably escape from the cracked pipe. This gives the plumbers a good idea of exactly where the sewer line repiping is needed.

Outdated Sewer Line and Water Line Pipes

Choosing to repipe your home is an investment that pays off in more ways than one:

Weight/inflexibility. Cast iron and clay pipes are extremely heavy. While this might not seem relevant for pipes buried underground, erosion can wash away the soil underneath pipes, leaving the pipes to hold up under their own weight as well as the weight of the water inside them. This pressure makes cracking and ruptures likely.
Vulnerable to tree root intrusion. Tree roots can penetrate the seams between cast iron pipes and can even break through clay pipes, creating significant damage and leading to leaks and clogs inside the pipes.
Rust/deterioration. Cast iron pipes that were installed long ago are now heavily rusted, which makes cracking and burst pipes very likely.

Crawl Space Repiping

When replacing drain lines in a crawl space, it’s easier for your plumber to locate the problem since all the pipes are visible. Old copper and cast iron pipes in crawl spaces frequently spring leaks, which not only create moist conditions for mold and mildew, but also cause unpleasant smells in the living area above them.

Highly recommended this company and the technician Travis. He is very professional and explains everything to you. Also appreciate the same day response for a stressful water emergency.
Look forward to doing business with this company and especially Travis in the future. The person who schedules your appointment will narrow it down to a couple hours which is highly useful when waiting.

Dean has come to our home a couple times now to fix various issues. He always gets the job done, and in a timely manner. When there was a mysterious odor coming from our toilet, we weren’t sure if it was the toilet seat (an easier, cheaper fix) or if there was an issue with the flooring around the base of the toilet (definitely a more expensive fix). He could have easily started with the “tougher” fix and charged more, but instead he told us he would start with the easier thing first and take it from there. We definitely feel we can trust him, which can be hard to find.

Repiping FAQs

How do I know if all my pipes need to be replaced?

This is a discussion that starts with trust between the homeowner and the plumbing service provider. Unfortunately, some plumbing companies offer whole house repiping when it is not necessary, in order to win larger, higher priced projects. At Rooter Man, we try to help the homeowner spend as little as possible while ensuring that their plumbing system is reliable.

How significant is the danger of a water leak?

A very small leak can go undetected for a long time, allowing mold and mildew to thrive and cause negative health effects for your family. A sewer line leak can release methane gas into your home, which is very harmful. And a major water leak from your underground pipes can even impact the foundation of your home, as hundreds of gallons of water escape into the soil at once.

What kind of pipes are in my plumbing system?

With a quick phone call, you can get an inspection of your plumbing system by one of the expert Rooter Man of SC plumbers. We’ll tell you what your pipes are made of, what shape they are in, and whether you need to take any steps to keep your system running well.
