The Complete Guide to Whole House Repiping in Las Vegas

Low water pressure, rusty water, and constant leaks are not normal. They are the signs of a failing plumbing system, a problem that plagues thousands of homeowners in Las Vegas. You may have been told that a whole house repipe is a messy, expensive, and time-consuming process. You may have even been told that it is not necessary. But the truth is, a whole house repipe is the only permanent solution to a failing plumbing system, and it does not have to be a nightmare.

This guide will walk you through everything you need to know about whole house repiping in Las Vegas. We will explain the signs that you need a repipe, the different types of pipes available, and what to expect during the process. We will also give you the information you need to choose the right plumbing contractor and make sure you are getting a fair price.

A whole house repipe is a major investment in your home. But with the right information and the right team, it can be a smooth and stress-free process that will give you peace of mind for years to come. Let's get started.

5 Signs Your Las Vegas Home Needs a Repipe

Not sure if you need a whole house repipe? Here are five signs to look for:

1. Low Water Pressure

If you are tired of weak showers and faucets that barely trickle, you may have a problem with your pipes. Over time, galvanized pipes can become corroded and restricted, reducing the flow of water to your fixtures.

2. Rusty or Discolored Water

Is your water brown or yellow, especially in the morning? This is a sign of rust and corrosion in your galvanized pipes. Not only is this water unappealing, but it can also stain your fixtures and laundry.

3. Frequent Leaks

Are you constantly calling a plumber to fix leaks in your pipes? This is a sign that your plumbing system is failing. A spot repair may fix the problem for now, but it is only a matter of time before another leak springs up.

4. Your Home Has Polybutylene or KITEC Pipes

If your home was built between the late 1970s and mid-1990s, you may have polybutylene or KITEC pipes. These pipes are known to be defective and can fail without warning, causing catastrophic damage to your home.

5. You Are Planning a Remodel

If you are planning a major kitchen or bathroom remodel, it is the perfect time to consider a whole house repipe. It is much easier and more cost-effective to replace your pipes when the walls are already open.

PEX vs. Copper: Which is Better for Las Vegas Homes?

When it comes to repiping your home, you have two main choices for pipe material: PEX and copper. Here is a look at the pros and cons of each:

Feature	PEX (Cross-Linked Polyethylene)	Copper
Cost	Less expensive	More expensive
Durability	Flexible and resistant to corrosion	Durable but can corrode
Installation	Faster and less invasive	Slower and more invasive
Lifespan	50+ years	50+ years

For most Las Vegas homeowners, we recommend PEX-A, the highest quality PEX on the market. It is more flexible, more durable, and more resistant to the hard water conditions that are common in our area. It is also a more affordable option than copper, which can save you thousands of dollars on your whole house repipe.
