Repiping a home is a significant but necessary investment for homeowners dealing with aging or deteriorating plumbing systems. If your pipes are corroded, leaking, or affecting water quality and pressure, a full repipe can restore your plumbing system’s efficiency and reliability. However, many homeowners hesitate because they’re unsure of what to expect during the process.
At Rad Plumbing, we prioritize transparency and efficiency, ensuring a smooth experience for our clients. Here’s a step-by-step breakdown of the repiping process to help you understand what happens from start to finish.
Step 1: Initial Inspection & Assessment
Before any work begins, our team conducts a thorough inspection of your plumbing system. This includes:
✔ Checking for leaks, corrosion, and pipe damage
✔ Assessing water pressure and flow issues
✔ Identifying the type of piping material currently in place
✔ Discussing any concerns you have regarding your home’s plumbing
After the assessment, we’ll provide a detailed recommendation on whether a full repipe is necessary and what materials would be best for your home.
Step 2: Choosing the Right Repiping Materials
Modern homes have two primary repiping material options:
???? PEX (Cross-Linked Polyethylene) – Flexible, cost-effective, resistant to corrosion, and ideal for homes with complex plumbing layouts.
???? Copper – Durable, long-lasting, and resistant to bacteria, making it a premium choice for many homeowners.
Our experts will help you choose the best material based on your budget, water quality, and home structure.
Step 3: Planning & Permits
Repiping a home requires careful planning and, in some cases, permits from local authorities. Rad Plumbing handles all necessary permits and ensures compliance with Arizona plumbing codes, so you don’t have to worry about paperwork or legal issues.
We also schedule the project at a time that minimizes disruption to your daily routine.
Step 4: Repiping Installation
This is the main stage of the process, where our licensed plumbers replace your old pipes with new, high-quality materials. The process includes:
✔ Shutting Off Water Supply – To prevent leaks and allow for a safe installation.
✔ Cutting Access Points – Small holes may be made in walls, ceilings, or floors to reach old pipes.
✔ Removing Old Pipes – Careful removal of corroded or failing pipes to make way for the new system.
✔ Installing New Pipes – Using PEX or copper, we install new plumbing lines that enhance water flow and prevent future issues.
Our skilled team ensures minimal disruption to your home and works efficiently to get the job done as quickly as possible.
Step 5: Testing & Quality Assurance
Once the new pipes are installed, our team performs a comprehensive pressure and leak test to ensure everything is working perfectly. This step guarantees:
✔ No hidden leaks
✔ Proper water pressure
✔ High-quality workmanship
We won’t consider the job complete until we are 100% sure your new plumbing system is functioning flawlessly.
Step 6: Cleanup & Restoration
After testing, we patch and restore any access points that were created during installation. Our team takes care to leave your home as clean as we found it, with minimal signs of work being done.
We’ll also provide guidance on maintaining your new pipes, ensuring you get the most out of your repiping investment.
Step 7: Final Walkthrough & Customer Satisfaction
Before we leave, we walk you through the entire project, answer any questions, and ensure you’re completely satisfied with our work. Rad Plumbing stands by our services, offering warranties on materials and labor for added peace of mind.
