Repipes
Our Re-pipe Process:​​​​
-
Echols schedules an experienced technician to assess your needs.

The technician coordinates with the office and generate your proposal within 1-2 business days.

Upon acceptance of the proposal, our office will contact you to schedule a convenient time and date to begin your repipe. We require half down, and the re-pipe typically takes 2-3 days to complete.

We will pull any permits for the job.

We also coordinate required inspections or job-related permit signoffs.

Remaining balance is due upon completion.

Common Questions & Answers
What is a re-pipe?
A re-pipe (also called repiping) is the process of replacing all or most of the water pipes in a building - usually a home or a commercial property.
What is the difference in a partial and a full re-pipe?
Partial re-pipe: Only replaces pipes in a specific section (like one bathroom or kitchen).
Full re-pipe: Replaces all the water lines throughout the home.
When do I need a re-pipe?
You might need a re-pipe if you have frequent or hidden leaks, rusty or discolored water, low water pressure in multiple fixtures, old plumbing (40+ years old), pipes made of lead, galvanized steel, or polybutylene.
Will walls and ceilings be opened up?
Yes - small access holes are cut to reach pipes behind walls or under floors.
What pipe materials are best for a repipe?
PEX: Flexible, corrosion-resistant, and affordable. Copper: Long-lasting, and antimicrobial but more expensive. CPVC: Good for hot/cold water, budget-friendly, and durable.
Will I be without water during the process?
Water is usually shut off only for a few hours at a time while plumbers connect the new system.
