When a home's original supply piping reaches the end of its life, you feel it everywhere at once: rusty or discolored water, pressure that drops when two taps run, pinhole leaks that keep appearing, and repairs that never seem to stop. Older San Antonio-area homes with galvanized steel, aging copper, or 1980s–90s polybutylene are prime candidates for a repipe.
A whole-home repipe replaces your water supply lines — usually with PEX — in a planned, clean way instead of chasing one leak after another. Most homes are done in one to two days, and we're careful with your drywall, so the patching is minimal and predictable.
Signs your home needs a repipe
- Rusty, brown, or metallic-tasting water, especially first thing in the morning
- Repeated pinhole leaks in copper, or leaks in polybutylene lines
- Water pressure that drops sharply when a second fixture runs
- Visible corrosion or scale on exposed pipes
- A home built with galvanized steel or polybutylene supply lines
- You're renovating and it makes sense to replace old pipe while walls are open

We run new supply lines to every fixture, install new shutoffs where needed, pressure-test the system, and confirm strong, even pressure throughout.
- 4
Inspection and clean patch
We pull the required plumbing permit, pass inspection, and leave clean drywall openings ready for finish, with a tidy site.
What Affects the Price
Repipe cost depends on the size of the home, number of fixtures and bathrooms, pipe material, and slab vs. accessible routing.
- Square footage, number of bathrooms, and total fixtures
- Material — PEX is typically more cost-effective than copper
- One vs. two stories and how accessible the runs are
- Drywall access and patch count
- Cibolo plumbing permit base is about $75; underground waterline work adds about $15

Repiping FAQs
Most single-family homes in the Cibolo area are repiped in one to two days, depending on size, number of bathrooms, and access. We give you a clear timeline with the written scope so you can plan around water being off for short windows.
PEX is flexible, resists the scale and corrosion that Cibolo's hard water causes, installs faster, and costs less, which is why we recommend it for most homes. Copper is still an excellent, long-lasting choice and we install it when you prefer it. We'll walk you through the trade-offs for your home.
No. We plan access points to keep drywall openings minimal and predictable, protect your floors and furniture, and leave clean openings ready for patching. It's a planned job, not exploratory demolition.
When leaks keep appearing, the water is discolored, or pressure is chronically low across the house, you're spending on repeated repairs that a repipe would end. If your home has galvanized or polybutylene supply lines, replacement is usually the smarter long-term spend.
No. We keep water off only during short, planned windows while we tie in new lines, and we let you know the schedule ahead of time. Most single-family homes are repiped in one to two days, so the disruption is brief and predictable.
It can. Buyers and inspectors flag galvanized and polybutylene supply lines as liabilities, so a modern PEX repipe removes a common negotiating point and the risk of ongoing leaks. Beyond resale, you get clean water, steady pressure, and an end to repeat repair bills.
