What Your Neighbors Are Saying About Us
How to Tell If Your Home Is Due for a Repipe
Aging pipes don’t always fail all at once. More often, they give you smaller warning signs over time. Here’s what to keep an eye out for:
- Frequent leaks in multiple locations throughout the house, even after repairs.
- Water that comes out brown, yellow, or has a metallic taste or smell.
- Consistently low water pressure that doesn’t improve no matter what you try.
- Visible corrosion, rust, or discoloration on exposed pipes in your basement or utility areas.
- Pipes that are made from outdated materials like galvanized steel or polybutylene.
- A home that’s 40 or more years old and has never had its plumbing updated.
If one or more of these sounds like your situation, give us a call. We’ll take a look and give you an honest assessment of what’s going on.
What Old or Damaged Pipes Can Do to Your Home
Deteriorating pipes are more than just an inconvenience. Over time, aging or failing plumbing can cause real damage to your home and your family’s quality of life. Corroded pipes can leach rust and other contaminants into your water supply, affecting both taste and safety. Slow, undetected leaks behind walls or under floors can lead to mold growth and structural damage that costs far more to fix than a repipe would have. Low water pressure makes everyday tasks like showering and doing laundry frustrating. And in Minnesota’s cold winters, older pipes that have already been weakened by corrosion are much more likely to freeze and burst, which can cause serious flooding in a matter of minutes.
Pipe Materials We Use for Whole-Home Repiping
When we repipe a home, we use materials that are built to last and suited for Minnesota’s climate and water conditions.
- PEX piping is flexible, freeze-resistant, and one of the most popular choices for whole-home repiping today. It handles temperature swings well, which matters a lot in Blaine, MN.
- Copper piping is a time-tested option that’s highly durable, resistant to bacteria, and has a long service life when properly installed.
- CPVC is a solid choice for hot and cold water lines and holds up well in a variety of residential applications.
We’ll walk you through the options and help you choose the material that makes the most sense for your home, your budget, and your long-term plans.

- We start with a thorough inspection of your existing plumbing to understand the full scope of the work.
- We walk you through our findings and give you a transparent, itemized estimate before any work begins.
- Our technicians work efficiently to minimize the time your water is shut off and the disruption to your day.
- We protect your walls and flooring throughout the process and clean up completely when the job is done.
- After installation, we test the entire system to make sure everything is working the way it should before we leave.
From the first call to the final walkthrough, we’re with you every step of the way.
frequently asked questions
How long does a whole-home repipe take?
Most whole-home repiping projects take between two and four days depending on the size of the home and the complexity of the existing plumbing. We’ll give you a more specific timeframe after our initial inspection.
Will repiping require opening up my walls?
Some access to walls and ceilings is usually necessary, but we keep it to a minimum and take care to restore the work areas as much as possible before we leave.
Is repiping covered by homeowners insurance?
It depends on your policy and the cause of the damage. Some insurers will cover repiping if it’s the result of a sudden failure, but not for gradual deterioration. We recommend checking with your provider directly.
Does Blaine's water quality affect how quickly pipes wear out?
Yes. The Minneapolis-Saint Paul metro area, including Blaine, has moderately hard water. Over time, mineral deposits from hard water can accelerate corrosion and buildup inside older pipes, shortening their lifespan.
What's the difference between galvanized steel pipes and PEX?
Galvanized steel pipes were common in homes built before the 1970s, but they corrode from the inside out over time. PEX is a modern, flexible material that resists corrosion, handles freezing temperatures better, and typically lasts much longer with less maintenance.
