OverviewWhy Choose Us For Whole House Repipe
Whole-System Fix
Replaces the actual failing material instead of patching leak after leak.
PEX Or Copper
Options presented with real tradeoffs, not a single default pushed on every job.
Minimal Wall Damage
Routing planned to limit drywall cuts, with clean patch-ready openings.
One Project, Not Years Of Repairs
Stops the cycle of recurring pinhole leaks in aging pipe.
Galvanized pipe corrodes from the inside out, which means a homeowner often doesn't see the problem until water pressure has already dropped noticeably or a pinhole leak shows up inside a wall. Polybutylene, common in some 1980s and early 1990s construction nationally, is prone to joint and fitting failure as it ages. Both situations, common enough in Franklin's older housing stock, eventually point toward a full repipe rather than a series of individual patch repairs that keep recurring.
Common SignsSigns You Need Whole House Repipe
Recurring Pinhole Leaks
Multiple unrelated leaks over time is a strong sign the pipe material itself is failing.
Low Water Pressure Throughout
Internal corrosion narrowing galvanized pipe diameter over years.
Discolored Water From Multiple Fixtures
Rust inside galvanized supply lines, not just a single fixture issue.
Known Polybutylene Plumbing
Homes built with poly-B are generally considered due for replacement regardless of visible symptoms.

How Do I Know If My Franklin Home Needs A Repipe?
The clearest sign isn't a single leak, it's a pattern. One pinhole leak in an old galvanized line is a repair. A second unrelated leak a year later, plus dropping water pressure across multiple fixtures, means the pipe material itself has reached the end of its service life and further individual repairs are just delaying the same outcome. For homes with confirmed polybutylene, insurance carriers and inspectors often flag it regardless of current symptoms, which is worth knowing before it becomes a sale or refinance issue.
ProcessHow A Repipe Project Works
Assess
Confirm pipe material and map the full existing supply line route.
Plan Routing
Route new lines to minimize the number of wall or ceiling openings.
Install
PEX or copper run to every fixture, old material capped and removed.
Pressure Test & Patch-Ready
Full system pressure tested, openings left clean for drywall patching.
What Whole House Repipe Costs
Scope depends heavily on home size, number of stories, and whether walls are open or finished.
Whole House Repipe In Franklin, TN
This is a bigger decision than most plumbing calls, which is why we walk through the actual condition of the existing pipe, current water pressure readings, and a real cost comparison against continuing to patch individual leaks before anyone commits to a full repipe.
FAQsCommon Questions
PEX is more flexible, less prone to freeze damage, and generally lower cost installed. Copper has a longer track record and some homeowners prefer it for that reason. We present both honestly.
We plan routing to minimize openings, but some drywall access is unavoidable. We leave clean, patch-ready cuts.
Not necessarily. One isolated leak is usually a repair. A repipe becomes the right call when leaks recur or pressure drops system-wide.
Many insurers and inspectors treat confirmed poly-B as a liability regardless of current condition, since failure is considered a matter of when, not if.
