What you get from Mainline Plumbing:
the main choice for home services since 2012
Most whole-home repipes take 2–5 days, depending on the size of the home and the number of bathrooms. We keep your water on as much as possible during the work and give you a clear schedule before we start.
Usually, yes. Old pipes narrow with corrosion and mineral scale, which chokes your water flow. Replacing them with clean, properly sized PEX or copper typically restores strong, even pressure throughout the home.
PEX is the most popular choice for South Florida repipes because it’s flexible, faster to install, and immune to the pinhole corrosion that affects copper in our aggressive water. Copper is still an option where homeowners prefer metal. We recommend the right fit during your free assessment.
We make small, planned access openings rather than tearing out walls, then patch and restore them when the new lines are in. It’s far less invasive than people expect.
Cost depends on home size, number of fixtures, pipe material, and access. Because every home is different, we provide a free written proposal with upfront pricing—and financing is available to spread the cost out.
Yes. Many older South Florida homes have cast iron drain and sewer lines that corrode and collapse over time. We replace them, or where the existing pipe can still be rebuilt from the inside, restore them with a trenchless CIPP epoxy liner—minimizing digging and floor disruption.
A whole-home repipe replaces the aging, corroded, or leak-prone water pipes throughout your house with new piping—typically PEX or copper—so you get reliable pressure, clean water, and an end to recurring leaks. If your South Florida home keeps springing pinhole leaks, has discolored water, or still has original polybutylene piping, repiping is the permanent fix that patch repairs can’t deliver. Repiping sounds intimidating, but it’s one of the most worthwhile investments you can make in an older Florida home. Here’s how to know if you need it, what materials we use, and what the process actually looks like.
A single leak is a repair. A pattern of problems means the whole system is failing. Consider a repipe if you’re seeing:
Our water is hard and chemically aggressive, which corrodes copper from the inside out and produces those frustrating pinhole leaks. Combine that with the polybutylene that was widely installed during the region’s building booms and the simple age of the housing stock, and you have a region where repiping is common—and where neighbors often compare notes because so many homes on the same street need it.
We’ll recommend the right material for your home and budget:
What it is: Flexible modern plastic tubing
Best for: Most repipes; fewer connections, faster installs
Resists FL corrosion?: Yes — immune to the pinhole corrosion that plagues copper
Cost: Lower
Install disruption: Less (flexible, fewer fittings)
What it is: Traditional rigid metal pipe
Best for: Homeowners who prefer metal; certain exposed runs
Resists FL corrosion?: Vulnerable to aggressive-water corrosion over time
Cost: Higher
Install disruption: More
For many Broward and Palm Beach homes, a hybrid heat-pump water heater is quietly the smartest pick—our warm climate is exactly the condition that makes them so efficient. We’ll tell you straight which option pays off for your home.
Most whole-home repipes take 2–5 days depending on home size and the number of bathrooms. We keep your water on as much as possible and walk you through the schedule up front. Financing is available, and many homeowners roll a repipe into a planned remodel.
