Whole House Repiping
Whole House Repiping in McMinnville, OR
When your home’s pipes are past patching, we replace the entire system in durable PEX-A, done right the first time and backed by a 25-year manufacturer warranty.

When Patching a Leak Isn't the Real Fix
Older McMinnville homes were built with materials that don’t hold up forever, and once they start failing, they tend to keep failing. A repipe replaces the whole supply system at once, so you stop chasing the next leak and start with pipe that’s built for the next several decades.
- Full interior supply-line replacement in PEX-A
- One coordinated job, not a string of repeat repairs
- 25-year manufacturer warranty
You've Had One Leak Too Many, or You're Planning Ahead
Most repipe conversations start one of two ways. Either way, we walk you through the decision honestly.
You Keep Getting Pinhole Leaks
A leak here, a leak there, and a growing sense that the next one is only a matter of time. Rather than keep patching the same aging pipe, a repipe stops the pattern for good.
You're Planning It Before It Becomes an Emergency
You know your home’s pipes are getting old, and you’d rather schedule the work on your terms than deal with it after a pipe fails. That’s exactly the kind of considered decision a repipe is built for. Some homeowners spend months saving up for it, and we’ll have that conversation with you at whatever pace makes sense.

Signs Your Home May Need a Repipe
If several of these sound familiar, it’s worth a conversation about repiping instead of another one-off repair.
- Repeated pinhole leaks, especially on the hot water side
- Low water pressure that repair after repair hasn’t fixed
- Visibly corroded, discolored, or rusty pipe wherever it’s exposed
- Water that looks or smells off right after it comes out of the tap
- A home built with older copper or CPVC piping that’s now decades old
- You’ve already repaired the same section of pipe more than once
- Repeated pinhole leaks, especially on the hot water side

- Visibly corroded, discolored, or rusty pipe wherever it’s exposed

What's Included in a Whole-House Repipe
A repipe replaces your home’s interior supply lines, with a few decisions you make together with us at the estimate.
Full Interior Repipe in PEX-A
Every interior supply line replaced with PEX-A, sized and routed for your home.
Main Line Replacement, If You Want It
We’ll walk you through whether replacing the main line while we’re already in the walls makes sense for your home.
Water Heater Swap, If Yours is Due
If your water heater is getting up there in age, we’ll flag it at the estimate so you can decide whether to include replacing your water heater in the same visit.
Sheetrock Repair, Coordinated for You
We coordinate the drywall repair with a subcontractor as part of the job, so you’re not left finding your own contractor to patch the walls we opened.
Why a Full Repipe Beats Another Patch Job
Repairing the same failing pipe over and over costs you time, and eventually costs more than doing the job once.
Stop Chasing the Next Leak
A leak here, a leak there, and a growing sense that the next one is only a matter of time. Rather than keep patching the same aging pipe, a repipe stops the pattern for good.
New Pipe Stays New Pipe
We don’t mix old and new plumbing. Tying new pipe into old pipe risks contaminating the new line with whatever’s built up in the old one, which is why we do the whole house at once.
One Coordinated Job
From the walkthrough to the final wall patch, one team manages the whole process, including the parts we subcontract.
Backed by a 25-Year Warranty
Your new PEX-A piping is backed by a 25-year manufacturer warranty on materials.
How a Whole-House Repipe Actually Works
A repipe is a bigger job than most plumbing calls, so it helps to know what actually happens between the first phone call and the last wall patch, not just the sales pitch version.
It starts with a walkthrough, not a quote over the phone. We come out, walk the house, and talk through why you’re repiping in the first place, usually 15 to 20 minutes of conversation, sometimes longer if there’s more to look at. From there, we write the estimate at the truck the same day, with a few real decisions built in: whether to replace the main line while we’re already in the walls, whether to swap out an aging water heater at the same time, and whether to include the sheetrock repair as part of the job.
One thing we don’t offer is a partial repipe, unless a section of your home was replumbed fairly recently. If you’re going to spend the money on new pipe, mixing it with old pipe defeats the purpose. Running new PEX-A into pipe that’s already corroding risks contaminating the new line with whatever’s built up in the old one. It’s a better outcome to do the whole house at once than to patch part of it and leave the rest of the problem in place.
Once you approve the estimate, the office schedules a deposit and a start date, typically one to two weeks out. That window isn’t just paperwork. It gives us time to get the right parts on hand, schedule any required line locates, and do a second walkthrough where we tell you exactly what to clear out of the way, from under cabinets to inside closets, so dust and debris stay out of your things while we work.
The work itself usually takes a day to a day and a half. Two days is rare, and it’s never longer than that except in an unusually large home. Once the plumbing is done, the job gets inspected the next day, and once it passes, we schedule the sheetrock subcontractor, usually another day or two. Start to finish, most repipes wrap up in about four days.

Repiping and McMinnville's Older Homes
McMinnville’s housing stock is exactly why repiping shows up so often on our service calls here. A lot of homes in and around McMinnville were built or replumbed with Type M copper, a thinner-walled copper common from the 1980s into the early 1990s, and it’s now old enough that it’s developed a pattern of pinhole leaks, especially on the hot water side. CPVC also saw real use locally during that same stretch. Neither material was a mistake when it went in, but both are now old enough to be at or past the point where patching individual leaks stops making sense.
McMinnville also runs its own municipal water system, and the water here carries higher chlorine and chloramine levels than some neighboring systems, which is harder on certain types of piping over time. Most homes in the area sit on crawl spaces rather than a slab, which actually works in your favor during a repipe: it’s easier to access and replace supply lines under the house than to cut into a concrete foundation. Ground shifting in the spring and fall adds its own wear, showing up as leaks at the water meter and at the points where pipe transitions near the house, like where PVC meets copper. None of this means every older McMinnville home needs a repipe today, but it’s the reason the same aging materials keep coming up when we walk through homes here.

Whole House Repiping Questions, Answered
Do you offer partial repipes?
Generally, no. Unless a section of your home was replumbed fairly recently, we recommend repiping the whole house at once. Running new pipe into old, failing pipe risks contaminating the new line, so it’s a better outcome to do it all at once than to leave part of the problem in place.
What pipe material do you use?
PEX-A, backed by a 25-year manufacturer warranty on materials.
How long does a whole-house repipe take?
Most homes take a day to a day and a half of actual plumbing work. Two days is rare, and it’s not longer than that except in an unusually large home. With inspection and the coordinated sheetrock repair, most jobs wrap up in about four days total.
Do you repair the walls you open?
We coordinate the drywall repair with a subcontractor as part of the job, so you don’t have to find and manage that separately.
Will you also replace my water heater or main line?
Both are options; we’ll walk through them during the estimate. If your water heater is getting old, we’ll flag it so you can decide whether to replace it during the same visit, and we’ll talk through whether replacing the main line makes sense for your home too.
How do I know if I need a repipe instead of a repair?
Repeated pinhole leaks, especially on older copper or CPVC pipe, low pressure that repairs haven’t fixed, or visibly corroded pipe are the usual signs. We’ll give you a straight answer after walking your home, not a guess over the phone.
Are you available 24/7?
Our regular hours are Monday through Friday, 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. Same-day and next-day scheduling covers most urgent drain calls within that window.
