Piping & Repiping Services in Fort Myers, FL

Signs Your Fort Myers Home Needs Repiping

Multiple warning signs can tell you when your pipes have reached the end of their useful life. 

If you're calling for leak repairs in different spots throughout your home several times a year, that's not just bad luck; it's a sign that your entire plumbing system is failing. At that point, replacing the pipes makes more financial sense than constantly patching new problems as they pop up.

Water that comes out of your faucets looking rusty or brown is a clear indicator that corrosion has advanced significantly inside your pipes. That rust is contaminating your water supply, and more importantly, it means the pipe walls have thinned to the point where they're vulnerable to failure. Low water pressure throughout your entire house, not just at one fixture, usually results from years of mineral deposits and corrosion gradually narrowing the space inside your pipes.

We can help you determine whether repairs are still the best option or if replacement is a more suitable choice for your situation. Homes with polybutylene pipes (those gray plastic lines installed from the late 1970s through the mid-1990s) deserve special attention. This material reacts with oxidants in public water supplies. It becomes brittle over time, leading to sudden failures that can even affect your insurance coverage. If your Fort Myers home was built before 1985 and still has its original galvanized steel plumbing, the pipes are likely at or past the age where internal corrosion accelerates and problems multiply quickly.

The Repiping Process & What to Expect

Repiping takes careful planning, but we make the process as smooth as possible for you. 

We begin by thoroughly assessing your current plumbing to identify which supply lines require replacement. Then, we create a work plan that allows water to continue flowing to essential fixtures throughout the project. You won't be without water; we restore service each evening before we leave, so your daily routine can continue relatively normally.

The method of accessing your pipes depends on the construction of your home. Sometimes we work through walls, other times through ceilings or attic spaces. We're strategic about choosing access points that minimize the amount of drywall we need to remove, thereby reducing the overall impact on your home's structure. When possible, we route new pipes through less visible areas, thereby reducing the need for subsequent cosmetic repairs. Once the new pipes are installed, we pressure-test everything to verify that all connections are solid and leak-free. Then, we handle any necessary drywall and paint touch-ups to restore your walls.

The results speak for themselves. Modern piping materials resist corrosion, maintain consistent water pressure, and eliminate the recurring leaks that caused problems with your old pipes. Most homeowners notice the difference right away: better pressure at every faucet and cleaner water throughout the house. 

Our repiping services give Fort Myers properties plumbing infrastructure that performs reliably for decades to come.
