How Long Does a Whole House Repipe Take
The time required to complete a whole house repipe depends on the size of the home, the number of fixtures, and the type of piping used. In most cases, a professional repipe can be completed in one to two days.
Average Repipe Timeframe
For standard single family homes, a whole house repipe is typically completed within one working day. Larger homes, multi story layouts, or properties with complex plumbing routes may require additional time.
- Small to average homes: 1 day
- Larger or multi story homes: 1 to 2 days
- Multi unit properties: varies by unit count
What Affects Repipe Duration
Several factors can impact how long a repipe takes. These are evaluated during the initial inspection and planning phase.
- Total number of bathrooms and fixtures
- Accessibility through walls, ceilings, or attic
- Type of piping selected, PEX or copper
- Existing pipe condition and layout
Water Service During the Repipe
Water service is temporarily shut off during active installation. In most cases, water is restored the same day once the new system is connected and tested.
After the Repipe Is Completed
Once installation is finished, the system is pressure tested and verified. All fixtures are checked for proper operation before the job is completed. Any required inspections are scheduled as needed.
