Old pipes in Wyoming homes
Half the state's homes went up in 1980 or earlier, so plenty of Wyoming houses have been around a while. Around 23.9% go back before 1960, back when galvanized steel water pipe was the norm. Another 23.9% went up between 1980 and 1999, years that overlap polybutylene pipe (1978 to 1995) and the early run of Kitec (1995 to 2007). Homes from 2000 or later make up just 25.8%.
A home's age can offer a clue, but it won't tell you which pipes are inside. The pipe identifier on this site can sort out eight types based on how they look and feel, so you can figure out what you've got.
Repipe prices in Wyoming
The numbers below are ballpark figures from this site's calculator, plugged in with Wyoming's plumber wage. PEX is bendable plastic water pipe, with red carrying the hot lines and blue handling the cold. A crawlspace is that shallow open area beneath a raised floor, and a slab means a concrete floor poured right onto the ground, with pipe tucked beneath it or cast into the pour.
| Home | Ballpark figure |
|---|---|
| 1,200 sq ft house, one bath, PEX, crawlspace | $3,700–$6,900 |
| 1,800 sq ft house, two baths, PEX, crawlspace | $5,800–$10,600 |
| 1,800 sq ft house, two baths, PEX, on a slab | $7,500–$14,700 |
| 1,800 sq ft house, two baths, CPVC, crawlspace | $6,700–$11,500 |
| 1,800 sq ft house, two baths, copper, crawlspace | $8,500–$16,900 |
| 2,400 sq ft house, three baths, two floors, PEX, crawlspace | $7,300–$14,500 |
CPVC is stiff plastic pipe in a cream or tan color. Copper is metal pipe that gets soldered together. Bedrooms aren't a price factor. Repipes get priced off bathrooms and square footage, and a 3-bedroom home typically comes with 2 bathrooms.
What changes the cost
Labor makes up around 70% of a repipe bill, and that's where Wyoming's lower wage pays off. A slab raises the price because the pipes sit under or inside the concrete floor, which takes more labor to reach, so an 1,800 sq ft, two-bath house runs about $7,500 to $14,700 on a slab.
One national guide, Geek Powered Studios, puts permit fees at $50 to $800 and notes that quotes for the very same job can swing by $2,000 to $5,000, which makes a firm price after seeing the house worth getting.
When a repipe is worth it
Fuse Service says the math usually tips toward repiping once low pressure, discolored water, or leaks start appearing in several areas of the home at once. A single leak in one place isn't the same as several problems popping up all over.
According to Repipe Solutions, most families just stay home while the work happens. An 1,800 sq ft, two-bath house takes roughly two or three days.
Making sure your plumber is licensed
Before work starts, verify your plumber's license through your local city or county building department. It takes one quick call and protects the work going into your walls.
Wyoming lets local governments set plumbing rules
Wyoming doesn't have one plumbing code for the whole state. From the building, fire, mechanical and fuel gas codes, the state fire council sets the state's fire standards. No plumbing code is named in that law. Instead, cities and counties adopt and enforce the codes. Your repipe rules depend on where you live. Start by calling your local building department. Find out which code it uses and if you need a permit.
Roughly 20.3 percent of people in Wyoming get water from a private well rather than city water. That's above the national 15 percent, and the EPA says most states don't regulate well water.
