Every supply line in the house
A full repipe swaps the old supply pipe for new hot and cold lines throughout Gilbert homes, and the plumber you hire explains which fixtures and rooms the new lines would serve.
Repiping and Water Line Replacement in Gilbert
Pinhole leaks that return after each patch, pipe that has been spliced in several places or pressure that sags at every tap can all be reasons to replace the plumbing rather than mend it again. We connect you with an independent plumber for repiping the whole house, part of it or the service line from the meter.
Repiping estimates are free for any home in Gilbert, and there is no obligation once you have heard the estimate.
How much pipe to replace
One part of the house
If the failures keep to one area, say a single bathroom, the kitchen or one long run, new pipe can go in there alone while the remaining lines are left in service.
The water service line
The service line feeding the house from the meter can be swapped out by itself if it leaks or the flow through it has dropped. The plumber you hire tells you whether that part can be done alone.
Gilbert’s service line inventory
Gilbert Water checked 86,557 service lines and found no lead pipes and no galvanized lines that need replacing. Another 9,578 lines were classed as unknown, and the Town is still identifying them.
The Town says about 80% of Gilbert development was built after the lead ban, and the Arizona Department of Environmental Quality approved the initial inventory. That inventory covers service lines, not the pipes inside a house.
Putting the permit in writing
The Arizona Registrar of Contractors (ROC) treats building permits as the property owner’s responsibility, though a contractor may include the cost and fees of getting them in the contract. Agree in writing who obtains the permit for your repipe before work begins.
Frequently asked questions
Is there any protection if a licensed contractor’s work goes wrong?
Yes, in some cases. Arizona’s Residential Contractors’ Recovery Fund may pay an eligible owner-occupant harmed by a licensed residential contractor’s violation to have the work corrected or completed. It covers licensed residential contractors only, so hiring an unlicensed one leaves no recourse through ROC.
Not every leak calls for a repipe, so a single drip may be better served by leak detection, and a tired heater can be handled alongside through water heater installation. The home page lists everything else.
