Common Repiping Scenarios
Whole-House Repipe
Replacing all supply lines in your home with modern copper or PEX. Recommended when you have galvanized pipes with frequent leaks.
Partial Repipe
Replacing specific sections of deteriorated pipe rather than the entire system. A cost-effective option when damage is localized.
Polybutylene Pipe Replacement
Homes built between 1978-1995 may have polybutylene (poly-B) pipes that are prone to sudden failure. Insurance companies may require replacement.
Water Line Replacement
Replacing the main water supply line from the street to your home. Necessary when the line is corroded, leaking, or made of lead.
Frequently Asked Questions
How much does repiping cost in San Mateo, CA?
Whole-house repiping in San Mateo typically costs $4,000-$15,000 depending on home size, number of fixtures, and pipe material (PEX vs copper). A 1,500 sq ft home averages $5,000-$8,000. Get multiple quotes from the repiping specialists listed below.
How long does a whole-house repipe take?
A typical whole-house repipe takes 2-5 days depending on home size and accessibility. Most plumbers in San Mateo County can complete a single-story home in 2-3 days. Two-story homes or those with slab foundations may take longer.
Do I need a permit for repiping in San Mateo County?
Yes — repiping work in San Mateo County requires a plumbing permit and inspection. Your plumber should pull the permit before starting work. Unpermitted plumbing work can create problems when selling your home and may void insurance coverage.
How do I know if my San Mateo home needs repiping?
Signs you need repiping include: discolored or rusty water, frequent leaks in different locations, low water pressure throughout the house, and visible pipe corrosion. Homes in San Mateo built before 1990 with original plumbing are prime candidates for evaluation.
