If the pipes in your house are aging, corroded, or springing leaks, repipe specialists can swap out all of your water lines in a single project. Quotes for the very same job can swing by $2,000 to $5,000, so it pays to ring up today and get one firm price from a company that has laid eyes on your home. Your call goes to a repipe company serving your local area, and this site never charges you for connecting.
What a repipe specialist is
A repipe specialist is a plumber that focuses on replacing every pipe in a house rather than patching single leaks. One Houston company puts it plainly: repiping is all it does.
The typical homeowner spends around $7,500 for a repipe. Labor makes up roughly 70% of that total, so local plumber wages shape the final number a great deal.
What do repipe plumbers in your area charge?
These estimates assume a one-story home of 1,800 square feet, with two bathrooms, repiped using PEX over a crawl space. PEX is bendable plastic water pipe that comes red for hot lines and blue for cold ones. Crawl spaces are the shallow, open areas underneath a raised floor.
| Area | Local plumber wages | Rough repipe cost |
|---|---|---|
| US average | $34.70 per hour | roughly $6,400–$11,800 |
| Houston | $30.70 per hour | roughly $5,900–$10,900 |
| San Antonio | $27.87 per hour | roughly $5,500–$10,200 |
| Phoenix | $33.95 per hour | roughly $6,300–$11,600 |
| Orlando | $26.92 per hour | roughly $5,400–$9,900 |
| Los Angeles | $38.57 per hour | roughly $6,900–$12,700 |
| San Jose | $54.94 per hour | roughly $9,000–$16,600 |
Work on a home this size normally runs 2 to 3 days. Your actual price may land elsewhere, since the company only sets it after seeing your house in person.
How to choose a repipe company near you
What a quote includes matters more than the number on it. A Houston firm in this line of work notes that its price covers drywall repair, permits, inspections, and a warranty for life. Leave those items off a quote and the bill at the end can climb.
When you call, we link you with a local repipe company that visits your house first and then quotes one fixed price.
Repipe specialist or general plumber: who should you call?
Your everyday plumber spends most days fixing things, like a dripping faucet or one pipe that burst. A repipe specialist spends those days installing new water lines throughout an entire home. When leaks keep showing up in new spots around your house, replacing the full system is routine work for a specialist.
Pipe material moves the price as well. On that same 1,800 square foot home, copper comes in around $9,400 to $18,800, and the job lasts 3 to 5 days. CPVC, a hard cream or tan plastic pipe, runs about $7,400 to $12,800. Talk to a repipe company now to find out which pipe fits your home.

Questions people ask
What's the price to replumb a 2,000 square foot home?
For a 2-bathroom home over a crawl space, a PEX repipe runs roughly $6,800 to $12,500 with average US wages. In copper, that same house runs roughly $9,800 to $19,500.
Is it okay for my family to stay home during the repipe?
Yes. One firm in the business says most families remain in the house for the whole job.
Do bedrooms affect the price?
No. Repipes are priced by home size and bathroom count. A 3-bedroom home usually has two bathrooms, so a 1,800 square foot PEX repipe there runs roughly $6,400 to $11,800.
Is a slab house pricier to repipe?
Yes. A slab means a concrete floor poured right on the ground, with pipes running below or inside it. That same 1,800 square foot, two-bathroom home on a slab runs roughly $8,300 to $16,300.
