Whole-Home Repiping in Seattle, WA

Durable Pipe Replacements to Eliminate Leaks and Rust

A large share of single-family homes around Seattle were built before 1970, and many still carry water through their original galvanized steel lines. That pipe rusts from the inside, so the problem shows up as stained water, weak showers, and leaks inside finished walls. As You Wish replaces the full supply system with new PEX or copper so you can stop paying for one patch after another.

Signs Your Home Needs a Repipe

Old plumbing gives warnings for years before it fails outright. Catching those warnings early keeps a pinhole leak from becoming a ceiling or flooring repair.

• Brown or rusty water. Discoloration when a tap first opens usually means galvanized pipe is shedding rust from its interior walls.
• Falling water pressure. Corrosion and mineral scale narrow the inside of old pipe until two fixtures can’t run at once.
• Repeat leaks. If a plumber has patched more than one section in the past few years, the remaining pipe is the same age and likely in the same shape.
• Gray plastic polybutylene pipe. Homes plumbed from the late 1970s to the mid-1990s may have polybutylene, a material prone to cracking at fittings.
• Pipes past 50 years old. Original plumbing in pre-1970s homes is often at or beyond the end of its service life, even when it looks fine from the basement.

Whole Home Repiping Services

A whole home repipe replaces every hot and cold water supply line from the point where water enters the house to each sink, tub, toilet, and appliance. Drain and sewer lines are a separate system and are not part of a standard repipe.

Every project starts with a free in-home consultation. Our plumber inspects the exposed piping, identifies the materials in your walls, checks water pressure, and notes any code problems. You get a clear explanation of what we found, a recommended scope, and an upfront price before any work is scheduled.

Most of the new piping we install is PEX, a flexible plastic tubing that resists scale and corrosion and can be routed through walls with fewer fittings and smaller access openings. We use copper where rigidity, heat resistance, or durability matters more, such as at water heater connections and exposed runs. Many Seattle repipes use both materials, each where it performs best.

Once you approve the plan, we pull the plumbing permit, order materials, and set a firm start date along with a completion estimate. On install days, the crew protects floors and furnishings, opens only the wall and ceiling sections needed to run new lines, and connects each fixture. A project manager is on-site to check the work as it progresses. After the new system is pressure tested, we meet the inspector for the final inspection and walk you through the finished job.

If your inspection shows only one failed section in otherwise sound plumbing, targeted pipe repair may be the better call, and we will tell you so.

Full Repipe vs. Partial Repipe

We can replace selected sections and leave the rest in place. For homes with original galvanized or polybutylene pipe, we usually recommend replacing the whole system at once, because the pipe you keep will fail on the same timeline as the pipe you replaced.

Repiping an Occupied Home

Most families stay in the house during a repipe. We work out the schedule with you in advance, keep work areas clean and contained, and plan water shutoffs so the household can keep functioning.
