Whole-Home Repiping
PEX and copper whole-home repiping for Las Vegas houses with recurring leaks, low pressure, or failing polybutylene and galvanized pipe.
There's a point where patching one more leak stops making sense. Two slab leaks in a few years. Pinholes popping in the copper. Rusty water from galvanized lines. Pressure that keeps dropping. When the pipe itself is failing, a repipe is the honest fix.
We repipe Las Vegas homes in PEX — flexible, corrosion-resistant, and far more forgiving of our hard water than aging copper or galvanized. Most homes are done in a couple of days, with drywall access kept small and clean.
You get a written scope and price before we open a wall, and a home that finally holds pressure and stays leak-free.

Once copper starts pinholing in one spot, others follow. Chasing them one at a time gets expensive fast.
Scale and corrosion narrow old pipe. If pressure is down house-wide, the pipe — not a fixture — is the problem.
Galvanized supply lines rust from the inside. Brown water at the tap is the pipe shedding into your water.
Gray poly from 1978–1995 fails without warning. Insurers often require replacement — see our [polybutylene repipe](/polybutylene-repipe/) page.
PEX resists the scale and corrosion that destroy copper and galvanized in our water. It flexes instead of splitting, needs fewer fittings (so fewer failure points), and installs faster with less demolition — which keeps your cost and your drywall repair down.
We plan the run to minimize wall openings, protect your home during the work, and pull the proper permit. When it fits your goals, we can do copper too — we'll give you the honest trade-offs. If you've had leaks in a slab, we'll also discuss slab leak repair and reroute options.

Older west- and central-valley neighborhoods like Spring Valley and The Lakes sit right in the window for pinhole copper and slab leaks. Tract homes from 1978–1995 across the valley may still hide gray polybutylene.
If you're seeing the warning signs, read up on pinhole leaks in copper and get an inspection before the next leak picks the time for you.
Three kinds of pipe drive most Las Vegas repipes. Gray polybutylene from 1978–1995 gets brittle and fails without warning — insurers now flag it. Galvanized steel from older homes rusts shut from the inside, choking your pressure and browning your water. And copper, once the gold standard, pinholes in our aggressive water until you're patching leaks every year.
PEX sidesteps all three problems: it doesn't corrode, it flexes instead of splitting, and it has fewer fittings to fail. If your home hides gray poly, our polybutylene repipe page has the full story on why it can't wait.
A repipe sounds more disruptive than it is. We map the runs first to keep wall openings small and in the right spots, protect your floors and furniture, and pull the county permit. Then we replace the hot and cold supply lines, pressure-test the new system, and get water back on before we leave each evening.
Most single-family homes are done in one to two days. We coordinate the drywall patching so you're not left staring at open walls, and you end up with a system that finally holds pressure and stays leak-free.

We bring whole-home repiping to homes and businesses valley-wide — the same up-front pricing and licensed, insured crews whether you're near our south-valley shop or across town.
It varies with home size, number of bathrooms, one vs. two stories, and PEX vs. copper. We provide a fixed written price after walking the home. See our repipe cost guide.
Most single-family homes are repiped in one to two days, with water restored each evening. We keep wall openings small and coordinate drywall patching.
For Las Vegas water, PEX is usually the better value: it resists scale and corrosion, flexes instead of splitting, and installs with less demolition. Copper is still an option and we'll give you the honest trade-offs.
Almost never. We stage the work so water is back on at the end of each day. It's dusty near access points, but your home stays livable.
Usually, yes — if the pressure loss comes from scaled or corroded pipe, which it often does here. Once the narrowed, crudded-up lines are gone, full-diameter PEX restores the flow. If a pressure regulator or the incoming supply is the real culprit, we'll find that first so you're not paying for a repipe you don't need.
No. We plan the runs to open only the walls we need, in the least disruptive spots, and we keep the cuts small. It's dusty near the access points for a couple of days, but your home stays livable and we coordinate clean patching afterward.
Gray poly pipe fails without warning and insurers now flag it. We identify it and repipe your home in durable PEX.
