If your San Antonio home was built before 1995, your pipes may be a ticking clock. We replace aging galvanized, polybutylene, and corroded copper with modern PEX or copper — built to last 50+ years.
Not sure if you have a problem? Look for these common indicators.
If you're patching a new leak every few months, the problem isn't one pipe — it's the whole system reaching end of life.
Brown or orange water from the taps means your galvanized pipes are corroding internally. Flushing helps temporarily, but the corrosion is permanent.
Mineral scale and rust buildup inside old pipes restricts flow. If pressure is low at every fixture, cleaning won't fix it — the pipes need replacement.
If your home has gray plastic supply lines stamped PB2110, they are polybutylene — a material known to fail catastrophically. Replacement is strongly recommended.
Green patina, white calcium crust, or flaking on exposed pipes (under sinks, in the garage) indicates advanced corrosion throughout the system.
San Antonio homes built before 1995 commonly have galvanized, polybutylene, or early copper that's approaching or past its useful life.
Every hot and cold supply line from the meter to every fixture — nothing left behind.
We install both and explain the pros and cons. Most San Antonio homeowners choose PEX for the value and durability.
We patch every wall opening, match texture, and prime. You handle paint — or we can recommend a painter.
All repipes are permitted through the City of San Antonio and pass plumbing inspection.
Tens of thousands of San Antonio homes built between 1960 and 1995 still have original galvanized steel or polybutylene pipes. Galvanized pipes rust from the inside out, restricting flow and turning water brown. Polybutylene (gray plastic pipes, often marked PB2110) becomes brittle and fails without warning — it was the subject of a major class-action settlement.
A whole-home repipe replaces every supply line in your home with modern PEX (cross-linked polyethylene) or copper tubing. PEX is flexible, freeze-resistant, scale-resistant, and backed by a 25-year manufacturer warranty. Copper is the traditional premium choice with a proven 50+ year track record.
