Common questions
How long does a repipe take?
Two to four days for a typical single-family home, including drywall patching. Water is shut off only during working hours.
Copper or PEX — which should I choose?
PEX is less expensive, faster to install and resists LA's hard-water pinholing. Copper costs more and lasts decades. We'll price both so you can choose.
Do you patch the drywall?
Yes. Patch and texture on all access holes is included in our quoted price. Final paint is the only thing we leave to you.
Do I need a permit to repipe in Los Angeles?
Yes, LADBS requires a plumbing permit for a repipe. We pull it and meet the inspector on site.
