How do I know if my home needs repiping?

Frequent leaks in different locations, discolored water, low pressure at multiple fixtures, and visible pipe corrosion all point toward repiping. Homes with polybutylene, old copper with pinhole leaks, or brittle CPVC that cracks at the joints are strong candidates for a full repipe.

How long does PEX-A piping last?

Uponor PEX-A has a projected lifespan of 25 years or more. It does not corrode like copper or become brittle like CPVC. The expansion fitting connections actually get tighter over time, reducing the risk of joint failure.

Will repiping damage my walls and ceilings?

We make small access openings in drywall to route the new PEX lines. These openings are patched after the installation. The patches need texture matching and paint, which is typically handled by a drywall contractor or painter after our work is complete.

Is PEX-A safe for drinking water?

Yes. Uponor PEX-A is certified to NSF/ANSI 61 for drinking water contact. It does not leach chemicals into the water supply. PEX has been used in residential plumbing in the United States for over 30 years and in Europe for over 50 years.

What is Uponor PEX-A repiping?

Uponor PEX-A is a cross-linked polyethylene pipe that replaces your entire water supply system. Every hot and cold line in your home gets replaced with new, flexible PEX-A tubing. The old pipes stay in the walls or under the slab. The new PEX-A lines run through the attic, walls, or along accessible paths to a central manifold. Each fixture gets its own dedicated supply line. That means fewer fittings, fewer joints, and fewer potential leak points.

Uponor PEX-A is different from PEX-B and PEX-C. It has a thermal memory that allows expansion fittings to create a joint that actually gets tighter over time. No crimping tools. No clamps that can corrode. The expansion connection method is the most reliable in the industry..

Why do Florida homes need repiping?

Copper pipes in Florida corrode from the inside out. The aggressive water chemistry and limestone soil eat through copper. Pinhole leaks start small and multiply. You patch one, and another appears six months later. Eventually you are chasing leaks around the house and the repair bills add up to more than the cost of repiping. Polybutylene pipes are worse. Installed in millions of homes from the late 1970s through the mid-1990s, polybutylene degrades when exposed to chlorinated water.

It becomes brittle and cracks without warning. If your home in Palm Bay, Melbourne, or Titusville was built between 1978 and 1995, there is a good chance it has polybutylene. We see polybutylene failures every week. CPVC pipes, common in Florida homes built in the 1990s and 2000s, also have a limited lifespan. CPVC becomes brittle over time and snaps at the joints. One strong water hammer event can crack multiple connections at once..

How long does a whole-house repipe take?

Most single-family homes take two to three days. Day one involves planning the pipe routes, opening access points in walls and ceilings, and installing the manifold. Day two is running all the new PEX-A lines and connecting fixtures. Day three covers testing, patching access holes, and final inspection. Larger homes with four or more bathrooms may take an additional day. We work efficiently to minimize disruption.

You will have running water by the end of each day. We do not leave your family without water overnight. Our repiping crews have done hundreds of Florida homes. We know the common framing layouts, attic configurations, and access challenges in Brevard, Indian River, St. Lucie, Martin, and Northern Palm Beach County homes. That experience translates into faster, cleaner installations..
