WHOLE HOUSE REPIPING
Whole House Repiping in Las Vegas
Stop chasing leaks. Replace your home's entire plumbing system with modern copper or PEX piping in just 1–3 days. Restore full water pressure, eliminate pinhole leaks, and protect your home for decades.
Why Las Vegas Homes Need Repiping
Las Vegas homes are under constant plumbing attack from two directions: hard water corroding pipes from the inside, and alkaline desert soil attacking them from the outside.
Pipe Types at Risk
Galvanized steel pipes (pre-1970s homes): Rust and corrosion from inside, restricting water flow and contaminating water with rust particles. If you have galvanized pipes, repiping is not optional — it's a matter of when, not if.
Copper pipes (1970s–2000s): Las Vegas hard water at 291 ppm accelerates copper corrosion, causing pinhole leaks and slab leaks. Most copper pipes in Las Vegas start failing at 15–25 years.
Polybutylene pipes (1978–1995): A known defective material that becomes brittle and cracks. If your home has gray plastic supply pipes, replacement is strongly recommended before catastrophic failure.
Copper vs. PEX: Which Material Is Better?
Both are excellent choices for Las Vegas homes. Here's how they compare.
Copper
- Lifespan: 50–70 years (with water softener)
- Pros: Time-proven, resists bacteria, adds home value, recyclable
- Cons: Higher cost, vulnerable to hard water without softener, rigid (more fittings needed)
- Cost: $8,000 – $15,000 (whole house)
- Best for: Homeowners who want premium durability and have a water softener installed
PEX (Cross-Linked Polyethylene)
- Lifespan: 40–50+ years
- Pros: Lower cost, flexible (fewer fittings = fewer leak points), resistant to scale buildup, faster install
- Cons: Cannot be used outdoors (UV sensitive), newer technology
- Cost: $5,000 – $10,000 (whole house)
- Best for: Budget-conscious homeowners, homes without water softeners, faster project completion
Our Recommendation for Las Vegas
For most Las Vegas homes, we recommend PEX piping combined with a water softener. PEX is naturally resistant to the mineral scale that destroys copper pipes, costs 30–40% less, and installs faster. With a water softener protecting your entire system, PEX piping will last for decades.
The Repiping Process: What to Expect
Most whole-house repipes are completed in 1–3 days. Here's how it works.
Inspection & Plan
We inspect your existing plumbing, map out the new pipe routes, and provide a detailed quote. We'll explain exactly what's involved and how long it will take.
Protect & Prep
We lay drop cloths throughout your home, mark access points, and protect your belongings. We cut small, precise openings in drywall to route new pipes — no unnecessary demolition.
Install New Pipes
New pipes are run through walls, attic, and crawl spaces. Each section is pressure-tested as we go. We connect all fixtures and verify every outlet has proper flow and no leaks.
Patch & Clean
We patch all drywall openings, clean up completely, and walk you through the finished work. Your home's water is back on, with full pressure and clean water from every faucet.
Benefits of Repiping Your Las Vegas Home
Restored Water Pressure
Corroded pipes can lose up to 75% of their internal diameter to mineral buildup. New pipes deliver the full water pressure your home was designed for — better showers, faster-filling appliances, and consistent flow throughout the house.
Clean, Safe Water
Old galvanized pipes leach rust and lead into your water. Corroded copper can release copper compounds. New pipes deliver clean, clear water that looks and tastes better — straight from every tap.
No More Leaks
Eliminate the constant threat of pinhole leaks, slab leaks, and burst pipes. A new plumbing system means you can stop worrying about water damage, mold, and expensive emergency repairs.
Increased Home Value
A repiped home is a major selling point in Las Vegas, where buyers are wary of plumbing problems. Many real estate agents report that repiping adds $5,000–$15,000 to a home's resale value and eliminates a top concern during inspections.
Repiping FAQs
How long does a whole house repipe take?
Most homes can be repiped in 1–3 days depending on size, number of bathrooms, and accessibility. A typical 3-bedroom, 2-bathroom home takes about 2 days. Your water will be turned off during work hours but restored each evening so you can stay in your home.
How much does repiping cost in Las Vegas?
PEX repiping typically costs $5,000–$10,000 and copper repiping costs $8,000–$15,000 for a standard Las Vegas home. Price depends on home size, number of fixtures, accessibility, and material choice. We provide free in-home estimates with exact pricing.
Will repiping damage my walls?
We make small, precise openings in drywall to route pipes — typically 4–6 inch access holes. All openings are patched and repaired as part of the job. Most homeowners need only minor touch-up painting after we're done. We do not tear down entire walls.
How do I know if my home needs repiping?
Key signs include: multiple leak repairs in the past 2 years, low water pressure throughout the house, discolored or rusty water, pipes older than 20 years (especially in Las Vegas), visible corrosion on exposed pipes, and frequent slab leak repairs. If you're experiencing two or more of these issues, a repipe evaluation is worthwhile.
Do you offer financing for repiping?
Yes, we offer flexible financing options to make repiping affordable. A $7,000 PEX repipe could cost as little as $97/month with approved financing. Visit our financing page or ask your technician to run a quick approval during your free estimate.
Should I install a water softener at the same time?
Absolutely. If you're investing in new pipes, protect them with a water softener. Las Vegas water at 291 ppm will start degrading even new copper pipes within a few years. Installing both together saves on labor costs and ensures your new plumbing system lasts its full lifespan.
