Dependable Repiping Services in Boise
A standard repiping project involves installing new pipes for hot and cold water. This process replaces the existing system from the main water supply to every faucet and fixture in the home. Typically, this major renovation lasts 2 to 5 days. However, if your home is larger or more complex, it may take up to a week to complete the work. It’s important to note that home repiping usually does not include replacing the drainage or sewer line system. Replacing a sewer line is a separate project with unique requirements, considerations, and costs.
Your house would be a candidate for repiping if:
- Your plumbing system is older than 20 years
- You experience frequent leaks
- Your water pressure is dropping
- Your water bill keeps rising
- You want to remodel your home
The repiping process starts with several preparatory steps to minimize disruption and ensure swift and efficient completion. First, plumbers thoroughly inspect the existing pipe system to check its condition and identify the best access points. Next, they create a strategic plan to minimize disruption, which includes scheduling water shutoffs, selecting the best materials, and mapping out new pipe routes. Plumbers also prepare for contingencies, as they might discover deteriorating support structures, mold, outdated wiring, and other hidden issues that could complicate the project. It’s important to discuss with your plumber beforehand how to tackle these potential hurdles.
Once preparations are complete and you approve the suggested plans, the installation begins. Our plumbers remove old pipes and install new, high-quality piping designed for longevity and efficiency. We then test the new plumbing for leaks, pressure, and overall functionality.
