Whole-Home Repiping in Lilburn, GA

It depends on the home's size, the number of bathrooms, and the material. As a rough guide for Georgia, a PEX whole-home repipe often lands in the mid-single-thousands, while copper runs higher because the material and labor cost more. You get one flat, upfront price covering pipe, fittings, the permit and inspection, and drywall patching - quoted after we map your home, before any wall is opened.

Both are excellent; the choice is about priorities. PEX is more affordable, installs with fewer joints, handles Georgia's freeze-thaw better because it can flex, and routes easily through finished walls and attics. Copper is rigid, long-proven, and some homeowners prefer it for resale. We'll walk you through the trade-offs for your home rather than push one - most of our repipes are PEX, but we do plenty of copper.

Most homes are done in one to three days depending on size and layout. You generally don't need to move out - we keep the water off only during short, planned windows and usually restore service by the end of each day. We sequence the work so bathrooms and the kitchen stay usable as much as possible while it's underway.

Polybutylene is a gray (sometimes blue) flexible plastic pipe installed heavily across Metro Atlanta from about 1978 to 1995. It's prone to sudden failure and is a common repipe trigger - insurers and buyers often flag it. If your home was built in that window, check exposed pipe at the water heater or in the crawlspace; we can confirm it during an inspection and lay out replacement in PEX or copper.

Yes - a whole-home repipe is permitted, inspected work, and it should be pulled by a licensed master plumber. We handle the Gwinnett County permit and coordinate the inspection, including the inspector seeing the new pipe before we close the walls. That paper trail also keeps your system insurable and clean for resale.

Yes - patching the drywall we open is included in the flat price, so you're not left with holes to deal with. We keep access openings as small and as few as the job allows. Texture-matching and repainting to blend perfectly can be a separate finish step in some homes; we'll tell you exactly what's included before we start.

If the pipe material is failing - polybutylene, corroded galvanized, or copper springing repeat pinholes - repiping is almost always the better value. Each patch on a dying system only moves the next leak down the line, and the water damage from the one you miss dwarfs the repair. If it's a single leak on otherwise sound pipe, though, a repair is the right call, and we'll say so.

You get our workmanship warranty on the installation, on top of the manufacturer's warranty on the pipe itself - PEX and copper both carry long manufacturer coverage. Because the work is permitted and inspected, the warranty and the code sign-off travel with the home, which matters at resale. We'll give you the specifics in writing with your quote.
