Wondering what actually happens during a home repipe? Don’t worry, it’s not as scary as it sounds. Here’s a step-by-step breakdown:
1. Inspection & Estimate
We start by checking out your plumbing system and seeing what needs to be replaced. Then we give you a straightforward estimate, including all the labor, parts, and cleanup.
2. Choosing Materials
Most Tulsa homeowners choose PEX piping because it’s flexible, long-lasting, and affordable. Some prefer copper, which is also durable but usually costs more. We’ll help you choose the best fit for your home and budget.
3. Turning Off the Water
On the day we start, we shut off your main water supply and drain your pipes so we can work safely. If needed, we’ll make sure at least one bathroom stays usable each day.
4. Accessing the Pipes
We’ll cut small holes in walls, ceilings, or floors to reach the old pipes. Our team takes extra care to protect your home and minimize mess.
5. Installing New Pipes
Old pipes come out, and new ones go in. We’ll carefully install new lines to your sinks, showers, toilets, water heater, and other fixtures.
6. Testing for Leaks
Once everything is in place, we do a full pressure test to check for leaks and make sure everything works perfectly.
7. Repairing Drywall & Cleaning Up
When the plumbing is finished, we patch the holes and clean up thoroughly. You’re left with a brand-new plumbing system and a clean house.
This process may vary depending on your home’s size and layout, but we always communicate clearly every step of the way.
