Some of the signs that your house may need to be repiped include:

• Leaks or water damage: If you have leaks or water damage in your house this could be a sign of worn-out or broken pipes that need to be replaced.

• Discolored water: If your water is discolored, it could be due to rust or corrosion. It can also be caused debris buildup inside your pipes.

• Low water pressure: Low water pressure can be caused by corroded or clogged pipes.

• Strange sounds: Gurgling or knocking sounds coming from your pipes could indicate a problem with the plumbing system.

The cost depends on the size of the house, the complexity of the project, and the materials you use. PEX piping is easier to install, less expensive, resistant to corrosion, more flexible and suitable for use in colder climates. At the same time PEX piping has a shorter lifespan, cannot be used outside and is not suitable for high-pressure systems. Copper piping is durable and long-lasting, resistant to corrosion, suitable for high-pressure systems and can be used in both hot and cold climates. It is more expensive to install, susceptible to freezing in colder temperatures and may require additional insulation.

• Cut small holes in walls and/or ceiling as needed to run new pipes

• Install the new copper or PEX pipes

• Switch the water system to the newly installed pipes
