Your supply pipes carry clean water to every tap, toilet and appliance. When they wear out, leaks and rusty water become a steady worry. A repipe swaps them for PEX, a flexible plastic pipe made for drinking water. It is a big job, so we plan it with you.
Old supply pipes give warning signs before they fail. Two or more of these may mean it is time for a repipe, not one more patch.

Homes built before about 1960 often have galvanized steel supply pipe. Many sit in Tacoma's North End, Proctor and the Stadium District, and near downtown Puyallup. Galvanized pipe rusts from the inside, so pressure drops slowly. Many owners do not notice until a leak shows up.
Homes built from about 1978 to 1995 may have polybutylene, a gray plastic pipe prone to failure. Many homes on South Hill, in Federal Way and in Lacey were built in or near those years. If you find gray pipe in your crawlspace, have it checked before the next cold snap.
Pick your town for local details on whole-house repiping near you.
If leaks keep showing up in new spots, or your pipes are galvanized steel or polybutylene, a repipe often makes more sense than more patches. Rooter-Man Plumbing of Tacoma checks your pipes and gives you a flat-rate quote for the full repipe, so you can compare.
We repipe with PEX, a flexible plastic supply pipe made for drinking water. It bends around corners, so it needs fewer fittings than rigid pipe. That means fewer joints that can leak and often fewer wall openings. Most newer South Sound homes already have it.
Look in the crawlspace, near the water heater or under sinks. Polybutylene is usually gray plastic pipe. It was common in homes built from about 1978 to 1995, and it is prone to failure. Not sure what you have? We can identify it during a visit.
It depends on the size of your home, how many fixtures you have and how easy the pipes are to reach. A typical repipe takes several days. Your quote lays out the plan, including where walls will be opened, so you know what to expect.
Usually yes, for much of each day. Water has to be off while we connect new lines to the system. We tell you ahead of time when that will be, so you can plan showers, laundry and meals around it.
Your quote spells out where walls and ceilings will be opened, so you know before work begins. Ask about wall patching when we go over the quote, so you know what is and is not included. We keep openings as small as the job allows.
PEX is flexible, so it runs in long pieces with fewer fittings than rigid copper. Fewer fittings mean fewer joints that can leak. It also bends through walls and crawlspaces with less cutting. Most newer South Sound homes already have PEX supply lines.
No. A repipe replaces the supply pipes inside your home, from the main shutoff out to each fixture. The buried water line from the meter to your house is a separate job. If both are old, we can look at them together and price each one.
Yes. Financing through Wisetack is available for bigger jobs, subject to approval. You still get a flat-rate quote for the full repipe with no hourly billing, so you know the total before you apply. Credit cards are also accepted.
