How Long Does a Bathroom Repipe Take?

Bathroom repiping is often the last resort when your existing plumbing is past its prime or the original fittings were incorrectly installed. It involves getting rid of all the worn-out pipes and replacing them with more efficient and durable ones.

However, this project can be a hassle, considering that majority of your home’s piping system is in your bathroom. Fret not—as your reliable plumber in Tarpon Springs, FL, Farrell Plumbing ensures a smooth and worry-free process. Here are the factors that affect the timeline of a bathroom repipe:

Pipe Configuration

The pipe configuration, length, and location will determine how long the plumbing repairs will take. The number of bathrooms in your home also affects the duration of the project. In most cases, we can finish the job in two to five days.

Drywall Removal

Usually, we need to tear down the drywall to access and replace the pipes. The more difficult it is to cut into the drywall, the more time our plumbing company needs to complete the job. If you live in a new home, chances are it’s easier to access the plumbing work behind the drywall and wall studs than in older homes.

Post-Work Restoration and Inspection

Once we’re done with our plumbing services, we need to replace and repaint the drywall or find other means to conceal the area. However, before installing the new walls, your local plumbing inspector may visit your home to examine our work. These post-work tasks can take another three to five days.

Repiping your bathroom can be inconvenient as it can disrupt your daily routine. When you turn to Farrell Plumbing, rest assured that we’ll keep disruptions to a minimum and maintain an open line of communication from start to finish. We’ll also take care of the cleanup once finished.

Besides repiping, you can also rely on us for emergency plumbing services. Contact us today to schedule an appointment.
