Whole-home repiping can help restore dependable water service when aging or deteriorating plumbing lines are causing repeated problems. Marc Francis Plumbing carefully evaluates the existing system and the home's layout before planning the new hot and cold water lines.

Insulating Pipes for Winter Protection

In our area, protecting water lines from freezing can be an important consideration during the winter months. Marc Francis Plumbing can insulate exposed water lines during a repipe when requested, helping protect new piping from cold temperatures and reduce the risk of freezing. This optional service can be especially helpful for water lines located in crawl spaces, basements, garages, and other areas exposed to colder conditions.

When Should You Consider Whole-Home Repiping?

Not every plumbing problem means your home needs to be repiped. However, when problems become frequent or affect multiple areas of the plumbing system, it may be time to have your water lines evaluated. Common signs that whole-home repiping may need to be considered include:

• Recurring leaks or frequent pipe repairs
• Low or inconsistent water pressure
• Rusty or discolored water caused by deteriorating water lines
• Visible corrosion on exposed piping
• Older galvanized water lines showing signs of deterioration
• Plumbing problems occurring in multiple areas of the home

These signs do not automatically mean that a whole-home repipe is necessary. Low water pressure, for example, can have several causes, including a failing PRV, supply issues, or deteriorating water lines. Marc Francis Plumbing evaluates the condition of your existing plumbing to determine whether an isolated repair may solve the problem or whether repiping should be considered as a longer-term solution.

Experience Matters When Repiping Your Home

Whole-home repiping is a significant plumbing project, and determining whether it is actually necessary requires careful evaluation. Marc Francis Plumbing brings decades of plumbing knowledge to assessing aging and deteriorating water-line systems. We take the time to evaluate the condition of your plumbing and explain the available options before recommending a whole-home repipe.

When repiping is the appropriate solution, we focus on replacing failing hot and cold water lines with materials suited to the home and its plumbing system. Our goal is to provide a dependable, long-term solution while minimizing unnecessary disruption to your home.

PEX for Whole-Home Repiping

Whole-home repiping involves replacing aging or deteriorated hot and cold water lines with new piping. For most residential repipes today, Marc Francis Plumbing uses PEX, a durable and practical option that can be routed through walls, floors and other areas of the home with less disruption than more rigid piping materials.

What to Expect During a Whole-Home Repipe

During a whole-home repipe, new hot and cold water lines must be routed to the fixtures and areas they serve. This can require access to walls, ceilings, crawl spaces, basements, or other areas depending on the layout of the home. Marc Francis Plumbing plans the routing carefully, explains where access may be needed, and works to minimize unnecessary disruption while the new water lines are installed.
