What Customers Say
When supply lines are corroded, narrowed or leaking in more than one place, patching one leak at a time stops making sense. Repiping replaces the water lines through the house in one planned project. It restores pressure, ends the repeat leak calls and suits older homes before a remodel.
A repipe is a big decision, so it starts with evidence. We check the pipe material, test the pressure and look at where leaks have happened. Then you get a plan that shows which lines are replaced and what openings are needed.
When to Call About Whole-Home Repiping
- Repeat pinhole leaks in different spots usually mean the whole system is wearing out, not one bad section.
- Older galvanized steel pipe narrows inside with rust and scale, starving every fixture.
- Discoloration on the cold side points to corroding supply pipe rather than the water heater.
- Homes of that era often have original galvanized or aging copper supply lines.
- Some homes have polybutylene supply line, a material known for failing with age.
- With walls open, repiping costs less and causes less disruption than doing it later.
- Corrosion on joints and fittings is often a sign of wear worth investigating.

How Whole-Home Repiping Works With Renova
Step 1: Inspect and test
We identify the pipe material, test the water pressure and look at leak history to decide what really needs replacing.
Step 2: Plan the routes
New lines are routed to limit openings. We explain what openings are needed before work starts.
Step 3: Explain the material
We explain the pipe options that fit your home, such as PEX or copper, and why.
Step 4: Install and pressure-test
New lines go in, old lines are disconnected, and the whole system is pressure-tested before anything is covered.
Step 5: Restore water and walk through
Water is restored, every fixture is checked for flow and leaks, and you see what was done.

Whole-Home Repiping in the East Valley
Many older East Valley homes in Tempe, South Scottsdale, west Mesa and north Chandler still have original galvanized or aging copper lines. Hard water adds scale inside the pipe and at every valve, which cuts flow over time.
Repiping pairs well with a remodel. If the bathroom walls are already open, replacing the supply lines at the same time avoids opening them again later. Our rule is simple: nothing gets buried that hasn't been tested.
Whole-Home Repiping by City
Common Questions
- How do I know if my house needs repiping?
- Repeat leaks in different places, low pressure throughout the house and rusty cold water are the main signs. Homes built before about 1980, and some homes with grey polybutylene pipe, are the usual candidates. A plumber should inspect the pipe and test the pressure before recommending a full repipe.
- Who does whole-home repiping in the East Valley?
- Renova Plumbing & Drain repipes homes in Gilbert, Chandler, Mesa, Queen Creek, Tempe and Scottsdale. The Renova team inspects and tests the existing lines first, explains the pipe options for the home, and pressure-tests the new system before anything is closed up.
- Is PEX or copper better for repiping?
- Both are used for repiping, and each has trade-offs in cost, installation and how it suits a given home. The right choice depends on the house, the routes available and your priorities. A plumber who has seen your home should explain the options rather than pick one by default.
Frequently Asked Questions
Not always. Sometimes only one section, such as the main line or one group of bathrooms, is failing. We inspect the pipe, test the pressure and look at where leaks happened. If a partial repipe solves the problem, that is what we recommend.
Some openings are usually needed, but we plan routes through attics and other access points to keep them to a minimum. Before work begins, we explain exactly what openings are needed and where, so there are no surprises in the middle of the job.
Most of the work happens with water still on to the old lines. Water is shut off for the changeover and connections, and we plan those periods around your schedule. You will know when the water will be off before we start each day.
It depends on the home. PEX and copper each have strengths, and the best fit depends on your routes, access and priorities. We explain the options for your house and why we recommend one, so you make the choice with the facts in front of you.
If the supply lines are old or failing, yes. With walls and floors already open, replacing them costs less and causes less disruption. Doing it later means opening finished walls again. We can inspect the lines before demolition so the repipe is planned into the remodel.
Repiping often requires a permit, and the rules come from your city. Check with Gilbert, Chandler, Mesa, Queen Creek, Tempe or Scottsdale for your home. When a permit is needed for the plumbing scope, Renova coordinates it and leaves the work ready for inspection.
