What to Expect When Repiping Your Home

When it’s time to repipe your home, Farrell Plumbing can help. As your go-to plumber in New Port Richey, FL, we are here to tell you what to expect before, during, and after the repiping process. It’s a major project that should be done right the first time. Our team will ensure that your new pipes are installed properly, so they last for years to come.

Removing Old Material

One of the first things we do before repiping your home is to turn off your water supply and remove all of the old pipes. We use special equipment to detect the exact location of the pipes behind your drywall and cut holes to access them. It can create a mess in some cases, but our crew will take safety precautions to keep it contained in one area and avoid damaging your belongings.

Starting the Process

Once we remove all of the old pipes, we install new piping that leads to each plumbing fixture in your home. We may use a method called saddle fitting, which gives each section of pipe great support.

Depending on the size of your home, it may take a few days or a week to complete the project. For this reason, you may want to consider staying over at a friend or relative’s place in the meantime. As part of our exceptional plumbing services, rest assured that we’ll maintain an open line of communication and work closely with you from start to finish.

Testing Your Water Flow

After connecting the new pipes and turning back the water supply, we test the water flow in each part of your home for leaks. It’s a precautionary step that ensures that your plumbing system is working properly. Fixing any problems at this point would be much easier than if discovered later on and lead to emergency plumbing issues.

Putting Everything Back in Place

Once we’re done with plumbing repairs and confirmed that your plumbing system is working the way it should, we restore the walls and put everything back in place. We also clean up all of our mess so you can get back to your routine as soon as possible.

Whether you need a partial or full-house repipe, Farrell Plumbing is the plumbing company you can rely on. Get in touch with us today to schedule an appointment, and let us discuss your options.
