Copper Repiping & Fixture Rough-In

Aging galvanized or corroded piping means low pressure, discolored water, and eventual failure. We repipe homes in copper — the industry standard for durability — and rough-in new fixtures cleanly and to code.

Built to Outlast the House

If your home still has original galvanized steel supply lines, you're likely dealing with rust-colored water, shrinking water pressure, and pipes that could fail without warning. Copper repiping solves this permanently — it resists corrosion, handles high pressure, and is backed by decades of proven performance.

We also rough-in new copper supply lines for showers, tubs, and pressure-balanced valves during remodels, ensuring every fixture gets consistent hot and cold water with no temperature swings when another fixture runs.

What's Included

  • Full-home or partial (kitchen, bath, basement) copper repiping
  • Pressure-balanced or thermostatic shower valve rough-in
  • Code-compliant pipe sizing, support, and insulation
  • Wall and drywall patching coordination on request
  • Water shut-off and re-pressurization handled safely
  • Full system pressure test before walls are closed
Rusty Water or Falling Water Pressure?

These are classic signs of failing galvanized pipe — the sooner it's addressed, the less damage risk to your home.
