Copper Repiping for Long-Term Plumbing Reliability
Copper repiping is the preferred solution for homeowners who want to permanently eliminate recurring plumbing problems caused by aging or corroded pipes. At SoCal Repipes, we specialize in full and partial copper repiping using high-quality Type L copper to restore water pressure, improve water quality, and protect your home for decades.
Many homes were originally built with galvanized steel or early copper piping that deteriorates over time. As corrosion builds inside the pipes, flow is restricted, leaks develop, and slab leaks become more likely. Copper repiping replaces the entire vulnerable system instead of chasing individual failures.
Signs You May Need Copper Repiping
- Rust-colored or discolored water from fixtures
- Persistent pinhole leaks or pipe failures
- Low or uneven water pressure throughout the home
- Metallic taste or odor in water
- Moisture, damp floors, or unexplained slab leaks
- Visible corrosion on exposed piping
These issues often indicate internal pipe deterioration that cannot be corrected with spot repairs.
Why Copper Repiping Is a Permanent Solution
Unlike temporary repairs, copper repiping addresses the entire plumbing system. By removing aging pipes and installing new copper supply lines through accessible routes, future leaks beneath concrete slabs are prevented and system reliability is restored.
- Type L copper resists corrosion and mineral buildup
- Improves water pressure and flow consistency
- Delivers clean, odor-free water
- Withstands temperature changes and high pressure
- Rodent-resistant and fire-resistant material
- Expected service life comparable to the home itself
Our Copper Repiping Process
System Evaluation
We evaluate pipe age, material condition, layout, and water pressure to determine the most effective repiping plan.
Strategic Pipe Routing
New copper lines are routed through walls, ceilings, or attics to remove vulnerable piping from beneath the slab whenever possible.
Precision Installation
We install Type L copper piping using professional-grade fittings and workmanship standards designed for long-term durability.
Pressure and System Testing
After installation, the system is tested to ensure proper flow, pressure balance, and leak-free operation.
Type L Copper Quality and Longevity
We use Type L copper piping because it provides thicker walls and superior durability compared to lighter grades. When properly installed and pressure-regulated, copper piping offers decades of reliable service with minimal maintenance.
Copper repiping also adds value to your property by eliminating outdated plumbing materials and reducing the risk of future water damage.
