Repiping Services in Brighton, CO

One leak is a repair; a pattern is a repipe. The warning signs stack up: rusty or discolored water, pressure that keeps dropping, pinhole leaks in different rooms, and visible corrosion on exposed pipe. Galvanized pipe over 40 years old and polybutylene piping from the 1970s–90s are both past their reliable life in most Brighton-area homes. When repairs start coming every few months, each one patching a system that is failing everywhere, a repipe is the fix that ends the cycle — we will show you the condition of your pipes and give you a straight recommendation, including when a partial repipe of the worst runs is enough.

Both are proven, and the right choice depends on your home and your priorities. PEX is flexible, resists freezing damage better because it can expand slightly, installs faster with fewer joints, and handles hard water without scaling inside the pipe. Copper is rigid, time-tested, resists UV and rodent damage, and is the traditional choice many homeowners prefer for exposed runs. In most whole-home repipes we use PEX for the hidden runs and copper where it shows or where code and conditions call for it. We will explain the trade-offs for your specific house — water chemistry, layout, and budget shape the answer — and you decide.

First comes a walkthrough and plan: we map your existing lines, count fixtures, and agree on the new layout and material. Then the work proceeds room by room — typically a few days for an average home. We cut small, strategic access openings in walls, run the new lines, and connect fixtures one section at a time so you are rarely without water overnight. Drywall patches are made as we go, and the final day is testing: every line is pressure-tested, every fixture is run, and water quality and pressure are checked at each tap before we call the job done. You get a walkthrough of the new system, including where the new shutoffs are.

Far less than most homeowners expect. Modern repiping is planned around minimal openings: small access cuts at fixture locations and pipe runs, rather than whole walls coming down. We protect floors and furniture with coverings, work one area at a time, and patch drywall as part of the job. There will be dust and a few days of workers in the house, but you keep living there through the project — and the finished result is new pipe behind freshly patched walls, with full pressure at every faucet.
