Whole House Repipe Services in Denver, CO
Professional Whole House Repipe
If the water in your Denver home runs rusty, the pressure drops every time a second faucet opens, or you are fixing one pinhole leak after another, the problem is usually not a single bad fitting. It is the piping system itself reaching the end of its life. A whole house repipe replaces all of your old water supply lines with new pipe — one project that ends the cycle of leak repairs for good.
Many older Denver homes were plumbed with galvanized steel or early copper lines. Galvanized pipe corrodes from the inside out: the inner diameter slowly chokes down with rust and mineral buildup, which is why pressure falls year after year and the water can turn brown after sitting overnight. Copper from past decades can develop pinhole leaks as the metal thins. When those symptoms show up together, patching individual leaks is money spent on a system that will keep failing. Repiping is the permanent fix.
What a Whole House Repipe Involves
A repipe replaces the water supply lines throughout the house — the lines feeding kitchens, bathrooms, laundry, and water-using appliances. (Your drain and sewer lines are a separate system; if they need attention, we will tell you.)
Material options. Most Denver repipes are done in PEX or copper. PEX is flexible, resists freeze damage better, installs faster with fewer wall openings, and typically costs less. Copper is the traditional choice — rigid, proven over decades, and preferred by some homeowners and inspectors. We walk you through the pros and cons of each for your house and price the job both ways if you want.
Free Estimate and Planning
Free on-site estimate. We walk the home, map the existing lines, count fixtures, and give you a written estimate for the full job. Estimates for repiping installation work are free. Permit and scheduling. Repiping in Denver requires a plumbing permit and inspection. We handle the permit and schedule the work around your household.
New Lines Installed
Water shut-off and protection. We shut off water to the house and protect floors and work areas before anything is opened. New lines installed. Old supply lines are abandoned or removed and new PEX or copper runs are installed to every fixture, with new shut-off valves where they belong.
Patched, Tested and Inspected
Walls patched. We open walls only where access is truly needed and keep openings as small as the work allows. Openings are patched so the home is left clean and ready for paint. Pressure test and inspection. The new system is pressure-tested, the city inspection is completed, and water is restored — most homeowners have water back by the end of each workday.
Signs Your Home Needs a Repipe
- Water pressure that keeps getting weaker, especially with two fixtures running
- Rust-colored or discolored water, worst in the morning or after a vacation
- Recurring pinhole leaks in different parts of the house
- Visible corrosion, flaking, or green/white buildup on exposed pipes
- Water that tastes metallic or leaves rust stains in sinks and tubs
- Galvanized pipes anywhere in the home — most are now well past their service life
- A home built before the 1970s that has never been repiped
One isolated leak does not automatically mean you need a repipe. That is exactly what our visit is for: we look at the condition of the whole system and tell you honestly whether a repair is enough or a repipe is the smarter money.
Benefits of Repiping
- Real water pressure again — showers and appliances work the way they should, even at the same time
- Clean water — no rust, no sediment, no metallic taste coming from your own pipes
- No more leak roulette — an end to emergency calls and water-damage risk from failing lines
- Home value — a documented repipe with permit and inspection is a selling point, not a disclosure problem
- One project, done once — instead of paying for leak repair after leak repair on a dying system

Frequently Asked Questions
Here are some of the most common questions about our services. If you don't see your answer here, feel free to call us.
01. How much does a whole house repipe cost in Denver?
It depends on the size of the home, the number of bathrooms and fixtures, how accessible the existing lines are, and whether you choose PEX or copper. Because every house is different, we do not quote repipes sight unseen — instead, our on-site estimate is free, written, and covers the full job, permit included.
02. How long does a repipe take?
Most homes are completed in about two to five days, depending on size and layout. Larger homes and two-story layouts with difficult access can take longer. We give you a day-by-day plan before work starts.
03. Can we stay in the house during the repipe?
In most cases, yes. Water is shut off during working hours, but we plan the work so water is restored at the end of the day wherever possible. Most families stay in the home throughout the project.
04. Will my walls be torn up?
No more than necessary. We access lines through the smallest practical openings and patch what we open. Some patching and touch-up paint may be needed after inspection, and we will show you exactly which walls are affected before we begin.
05. Do I need a permit for a repipe in Denver?
Yes — a whole house repipe requires a plumbing permit and a passed inspection. We pull the permit and meet the inspector as part of the job, so the work is documented for your records and for any future sale of the home.
06. What are the signs my home needs a repipe?
The most common signs are water pressure that keeps getting weaker, rust-colored or discolored water, recurring pinhole leaks in different parts of the house, visible corrosion or buildup on exposed pipes, a metallic taste, and galvanized pipes anywhere in the home. One isolated leak does not automatically mean you need a repipe — we look at the condition of the whole system and tell you honestly whether a repair is enough.
07. What are the benefits of repiping?
Repiping gives you real water pressure again, clean water with no rust or metallic taste, and an end to emergency leak repairs and water-damage risk. A documented repipe with permit and inspection also adds home value — and it is one project, done once, instead of paying for leak repair after leak repair on a dying system.
