What our Clients think about us
Your satisfaction is our priority.
What Is Whole-House Repiping (Copper or PEX)?
Whole-house repiping means replacing most or all of the water supply piping in your home with new copper or PEX lines, rather than patching leaks one at a time.
It’s usually recommended when:
Pipes are old, corroded, or failing in multiple spots
You experience frequent leaks or pinhole leaks
Water is discolored or rusty-looking from aging lines
Pressure and flow are poor even after fixture repairs
An emergency leak reveals widespread piping issues
Instead of “chasing leaks,” a whole-house repipe in copper or PEX provides a clean, modern system designed for reliability and long-term performance.
Why Choose Active Plumbing
Emergency to permanent solution: We can handle the immediate leak and also offer full repiping so you’re not calling for emergencies every few months.
Copper or PEX expertise: We design repiping systems in copper, PEX, or a combination, based on local codes, your home’s layout, and your preferences.
Las Vegas-specific experience: Familiar with slab homes, multi-story houses, older plumbing, and Las Vegas hard water.
Minimized disruption: Thoughtful routing, planned shutoffs, and coordinated work to reduce downtime for your household.
Clear communication: We explain scope, timeline, and material choices before we start, with straightforward pricing.
Licensed & insured: Nevada License #0047021, trusted as a repiping company in Las Vegas and the surrounding valley.
Immediate Actions (What to Do Now)
If you have an active leak, shut off water at the main shutoff valve or at the closest fixture valve you can safely reach.
Avoid using plumbing fixtures in the affected area (showers, sinks, toilets, laundry) until a plumber has inspected the leak and piping.
Move furniture, rugs, and personal items away from wet areas to limit damage, and use towels or buckets to catch dripping water if it’s safe to do so.
Take a few photos or videos of leaks, wet spots, or damaged ceilings/walls in case you need them for insurance or future reference.
Call Active Plumbing at (702) 438-3357 and tell us if you’re dealing with repeated leaks, pinhole leaks, or old pipes, and we’ll help with emergency plumbing repair now and discuss whether whole-house repiping (copper or PEX) makes sense.
Common Repiping Situations We See
Repeated pinhole leaks in copper lines behind walls or ceilings
Old galvanized steel piping causing rust-colored water and bad pressure
Slab leaks that keep returning, making in-slab repairs less attractive
Homes with mixed, patched piping from many past repairs and remodels
Remodels or additions where upgrading old pipes at the same time makes sense
Emergency leaks that uncover widespread problems in the rest of the system
If your home has become a “leak-of-the-month club”, it’s often more cost-effective—and less stressful—to consider whole-house repiping instead of endless repairs.
Emergency Response & Initial Assessment
If you’re calling during an emergency, we first stabilize the leak, shut off affected sections, and protect your home as much as possible. Then we assess your overall piping condition and discuss whether repiping is a smart next step.
On-Site Repiping Evaluation
We inspect accessible piping, look at attics, garages, water heater areas, and fixture locations, and evaluate materials (galvanized, older copper, etc.) and routing options for new copper or PEX lines.
Plan, Materials & Upfront Proposal
We design a repiping plan, including routes, fixture connection points, shutoff valves, and material choices (copper, PEX, or a mix). You’ll receive a clear proposal outlining scope, timeline, and pricing before work begins.
Repiping Installation (Copper or PEX)
We carefully install new piping runs, transitioning at selected points from old to new, and adding proper shutoffs and supports. For slab homes, we typically reroute piping above slab (in walls/attic) to avoid future in-slab leaks.
System Testing & Tie-In
After installation, we pressure-test the new piping, check every fixture connection, and tie in the water heater and main supply. We verify proper flow, pressure, and hot/cold operation at fixtures.
Cleanup, Patching Coordination & Final Walkthrough
We clean up our work areas and explain the new layout, material type, and shutoff locations. If wall or ceiling openings were required, we’ll review patching options (either by your chosen contractor or coordinated separately) and provide documentation for your records.
What’s Included
Initial assessment of piping condition and any emergency leak stabilization
Repiping plan with recommended routes, materials (copper or PEX), and shutoff locations
Installation of new water supply piping to designated fixtures and equipment
New or updated shutoff valves at key locations and fixtures, where included in scope
System pressure testing and fixture checks for leaks, flow, and temperature
Documentation of work performed, materials used, and any recommended follow-up or patching steps
Costs & Timelines (What to Expect)
Many whole-house repipes are completed over several coordinated work days, depending on home size, access, and number of fixtures.
You receive clear, upfront pricing for the repipe, separate from any initial emergency repairs, so you know exactly what’s included.
Costs depend on home size and layout, number of bathrooms and fixtures, material choice (copper vs. PEX), and how difficult it is to access and route new piping.
Every project includes a line-item estimate that breaks down labor, materials, valve upgrades, and any optional add-ons or upgrades clearly.
Insurance & Claims Help
Sometimes emergency leaks that lead to a repipe may involve insurance (for damage), even if the repipe itself is an upgrade:
We can document the initial leak, what failed, and the temporary repair we performed.
Our detailed invoices can separate emergency repair/stabilization from optional repiping work.
We can coordinate with water mitigation or restoration companies if they’re addressing water damage, while we handle the piping side.
(Coverage and approvals are always determined by your specific policy and carrier; this is not financial or legal advice.)
Risks of Waiting (Why Act Now)
Recurring leaks: Old or failing piping often leads to more leaks in new spots, sometimes with worse damage each time.
Water damage & mold: Every leak risks wet drywall, flooring, cabinetry, and structural members, which can lead to mold and costly repairs.
Higher repair costs over time: Paying for multiple emergency repairs, drywall patches, and floor fixes can end up costing more than a planned repipe.
Poor water quality & pressure: Old pipes can cause rusty water, bad taste, and weak flow that never fully improves.
Stress & disruption: Living with the constant threat of “what will leak next” adds ongoing stress, especially if leaks tend to show up at the worst possible time.
Methods, Materials & Quality Standards
Copper or PEX based on your needs: We work with Type L copper and reputable PEX systems, chosen and sized for your home and local code.
Code-compliant installation: All repiping work follows local plumbing codes for Clark County and surrounding areas, including proper supports and transitions.
Thoughtful routing: We plan pipe routes to minimize wall/ceiling access points where possible and improve future serviceability.
Hard-water-aware design: We consider Las Vegas hard water and may recommend treatment or maintenance to protect your new piping and water heater.
Proper supports and expansion handling: Piping is secured and supported appropriately to reduce noise and movement, especially with PEX systems.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do I have to repipe the whole house, or can I just fix the leak?
We can repair the immediate leak as an emergency fix. However, if your system shows signs of widespread age or damage, we’ll explain why a whole-house repipe may be more cost-effective and less disruptive in the long run.
Should I choose copper or PEX for my repipe?
Both can be excellent when installed correctly. Copper is traditional and durable when water conditions are suitable. PEX is flexible, often easier to route, and is widely used in modern repipes. We’ll explain pros, cons, and cost differences for your specific home.
How long will my water be off during a repipe?
We plan repipes so that full shutoff time is minimized, often restoring at least partial service at the end of each workday. We’ll explain the expected downtime and schedule before we start.
Will you need to cut into walls or ceilings?
In many homes, yes, some access openings are needed to route new piping. We try to minimize and organize these cuts for easier patching afterward, and we’ll explain where they are likely needed.
Is repiping messy?
Repiping is a construction project, but we protect floors and work areas, keep things as tidy as we can, and clean up daily. Some dust and disruption are normal, but we work to keep it manageable.
