Do You Need a Full House Repipe or Just One Line? Here’s What Every Homeowner Should Know Before It’s Too Late
Imagine coming home from work, only to find your floors soaked or your water pressure suddenly dropping. You call around for answers, and the words you didn’t expect hit hard:
“You might need to repipe your house.”
That’s when the panic sets in — but don’t worry. It’s more common (and more manageable) than you think, especially with the right team by your side.
🛠 The Hidden Danger: Aging Pipes and Slab Leaks
In many Arizona homes — especially older ones — plumbing pipes have aged far beyond their intended lifespan. Copper pipes under the slab, or outdated polybutylene lines inside walls, are vulnerable to:
Slab leaks
Corrosion and pinhole leaks
Low water pressure
Rusty or discolored water
Water damage behind walls or under flooring
If left unchecked, these can lead to major structural damage and skyrocketing repair bills.
💡 Homeowner Tips: When to Consider Repiping
You might not need to repipe your whole home — but here are signs you shouldn’t ignore:
Recurring Leaks – Frequent repairs on different sections mean it’s time to look at the bigger picture.
Drop in Water Pressure – Sediment buildup or corrosion can restrict water flow.
Hot or Cold Line Failure – If only one line is leaking, a partial repipe may be all you need.
Slab Leak Detection – Wet spots on the floor, high water bills, or mold may signal a leak beneath your foundation.
