Whole-House Repipe in Fort Worth — Galvanized to PEX or Copper

When your supply lines have hit end of life, repiping ends the recurring leaks for good. We plan around your life and minimize wall damage.

About This Service

If you've patched the same pinhole leak three times, or if your water comes out brown some mornings, or if the pressure is low everywhere in the house — your supply lines are probably done. A whole-house repipe replaces the failing pipes with modern PEX or copper, and ends the recurring leak cycle. It's a bigger project than people expect — but it's far cheaper than ongoing slab repairs and water damage. We plan the work to minimize drywall damage and keep your water functional during the project.

What We Do

Repipe — what's included.

Galvanized-to-PEX or copper repipe

Older Fort Worth homes still have galvanized supply lines from the original build. They corrode from the inside, restrict flow, and eventually leak. Full replacement ends the issue.

Polybutylene (PB) repipe

Pre-1995 homes sometimes have polybutylene supply lines — known failure-prone material. Replacement is strongly recommended.

Partial repipe

When only certain sections are failing — kitchen branch, master bath supply — we can do targeted partial repipes. Less invasive but doesn't always make economic sense.

Slab leak repipe (reroute)

When a slab leak makes a single line a problem, we can reroute that line overhead through walls/ceiling instead of patching under the slab again.

Drain line repipe

Cast iron drain lines reaching end of life can be repiped above grade with modern PVC.

Drywall protection & cleanup

We cut drywall only where needed, document what we cut, and pair you with a drywall repair contractor if you want one (we don't do drywall finish work).

Permits & code compliance

Repipes typically require permits. We pull them and the work passes inspection.

Why Paloma

What sets us apart on this service.

We plan around your life

Repipes aren't fast jobs. We plan the work in stages so you have working water at the end of each day, minimize how long you're without showers, and finish efficiently.

PEX or copper, your choice

PEX is less expensive, easier to install, and flexible — most repipes go PEX. Copper costs more but has a longer track record. We'll lay out trade-offs and you choose.

Minimize drywall damage

Good planning means fewer wall openings. We map the existing lines, plan the new routes, and cut only what's necessary.

FAQ

Repipe questions.

How do I know if I need a repipe?
Common signs: recurring pinhole leaks (especially in copper), brown or rusty water, low pressure throughout the house, visible pipe corrosion in accessible areas, or the home has galvanized or polybutylene supply lines that are aging out. A camera and pressure test give a definitive answer.
PEX or copper — which is better?
Both are good. PEX is faster to install, less expensive, doesn't pinhole-leak the way copper can, and is what most modern repipes use. Copper costs more but has a 60+ year track record. Modern PEX is well-proven now and rated for 50+ years. We'll recommend based on your specific situation.
How long does a repipe take?
Typical Fort Worth home: 3–5 days for a full whole-house repipe. Larger homes or homes with hard-to-access walls take longer. We give you a realistic timeline as part of the quote.
Will I be without water during the repipe?
Briefly. We stage the work so you have functional water by the end of most days. There will be a few hours without water during cutovers — we coordinate timing.
Does insurance cover a repipe?
Generally no — repipes are considered a maintenance/replacement item, not sudden damage. Insurance may cover the damage from leaks that led to the decision. We provide documentation that helps with the related water-damage claim.
