How to Prepare for a Whole-House Repiping

Shut Off the Water Supply to Your House

Shut off the water supply by turning off the main water valve, usually located somewhere near your water meter. If you’re unsure where it is, consult your plumber for help.

Once the water is turned off, drain the pipes so that the plumber can carry out repiping plumbing services with ease. Open all the faucets in your house and let them run until the water has drained out. If there is a cleanout near the water meter, you can open that to speed up the draining process.

Clear Out the Work Area

It’s also helpful to remove items near pipes in your home before your plumber arrives. Take out everything from under the kitchen sink, bathroom floor, and more. If you have a dishwasher, take out all the plates, pans, and other utensils inside. Expect some mess throughout the plumbing repairs and repiping process, but we ensure to take protective measures to protect your belongings and keep the clutter to a minimum.

Consider Staying Somewhere Else

Since our plumbing company needs to replace the entire piping system in your home, expect to be without water throughout the process. This means you won’t be able to use the sink, shower, and even the dishwasher. Consider staying over at a friend or relative’s house in the meantime. If this isn’t an option, look for other ways to bathe, wash dishes, and do the laundry.
