Repiping
Replace the Problem at the Source

Aging pipe systems fail from the inside out
Houston-area homes built before the 1990s frequently have galvanized steel or polybutylene pipe systems that are past their serviceable life. Galvanized steel corrodes from the inside, progressively narrowing the interior diameter and shedding rust into your water supply. Polybutylene (the gray plastic pipe common in 1980s construction) becomes brittle and develops pinhole leaks throughout the system as it ages.
If you are experiencing recurring leaks in multiple locations, consistently low water pressure, discolored water at your taps, or a home inspection that flagged your pipe material — you are past the point where spot repairs are cost-effective. Each repair restores one section while the surrounding pipe continues to deteriorate.
Repiping with modern materials resolves the problem at the source: every pipe in the affected system is replaced, restoring full water pressure, clean water, and a pipe system that will last decades.
Whole-home repiping with quality materials
Weatherford Air & Heating performs whole-home and partial repiping using CPVC or PEX pipe — both code-compliant, corrosion-resistant materials well-suited to Houston's water chemistry and temperature range. PEX is particularly popular for its flexibility, which reduces the number of fittings and joints required and simplifies installation through walls and floors.
We work efficiently to minimize disruption to your household during the repipe process. Water is typically restored within one to two days for most homes. All work is permitted, inspected, and backed by a written warranty.
The Right Solution for Aging Pipes
When Repairs Become More Expensive Than Replacement
Older galvanized or early copper plumbing deteriorates from the inside out. When you are patching the same system every year, repiping is almost always the better economic decision — and it comes with a warranty.
Why Choose Weatherford
Galvanized Pipe Replacement
Corroded galvanized steel pipe is replaced with modern CPVC or PEX — restoring full water pressure and eliminating rust contamination in your water supply.
Polybutylene Replacement
Failing polybutylene (gray plastic) pipe systems are fully replaced before further failures cause water damage throughout the home.
PEX Installation
Cross-linked polyethylene (PEX) pipe is flexible, freeze-resistant, and requires fewer fittings than rigid pipe — reducing failure points and long-term maintenance.
Partial Repiping
If only certain sections or systems have failed, we repipe the affected areas rather than the whole home — with honest assessment of which approach makes sense.
Permitted Work
All repiping work is permitted and inspected per local code. We handle the permit process and schedule the inspection.
Written Warranty
Repiping work is backed by a written labor warranty and manufacturer warranties on materials.
What to Expect
Assessment
We assess your current pipe system — material type, age, condition, and the pattern of any prior failures — to determine the scope of repiping needed.
Plan and Permit
We develop a repiping plan, pull the required permit, and schedule the work to minimize disruption to your household.
Repipe
The old pipe system is removed and new pipe is run through walls, under floors, and through the attic as needed. Access openings are made as small as practical.
Test and Inspect
The system is pressure-tested, the permit inspection is scheduled, and we confirm full pressure and flow at every fixture before considering the job complete.
Whole-Home Plumbing Expertise
Completed in Days, Not Weeks
A whole-home repipe in a typical Houston-area house takes two to four days. We minimize the disruption, protect your floors and walls throughout, and restore water service at the end of each work day.
What Our Customers Say
“We had our third leak in two years. They assessed the galvanized system and recommended repiping. Done in two days, and our water pressure is better than it has ever been.”
“Home inspector flagged polybutylene. They repiped the whole house with PEX before we closed. Professional, clean, and they handled the permit.”
Frequently Asked Questions
How do I know if my home needs repiping?
Key indicators include galvanized steel or polybutylene pipe identified in a home inspection, recurring leaks in different locations, consistently low water pressure throughout the home, rusty or discolored water, and a home built before 1990. We assess your system and give you an honest read on whether repair or repiping is the right choice.
How long does whole-home repiping take?
Most single-family homes can be repiped in two to three days. Water is typically restored each evening so the household is not without water overnight. Final permit inspection adds a day to the overall timeline.
What pipe material do you use?
We install PEX or CPVC depending on the application and code requirements for your municipality. PEX is our most common choice for residential repiping — it is flexible, freeze-resistant, and durable.
