A “slab” is the concrete foundation that many houses are built on. It is very common to have plumbing pipes encased in the concrete slab. For various reasons these pipes encased in the concrete slab can develop leaks – these leaks are referred to as “slab leaks.” Slab leaks in pipes typically develop due to a chemical reaction. Gray Poly pipes reacts with chlorine in the water over a long period of time. Copper pipes, when not properly sleeved at the time of installation can react with the soil and concrete to develope leaks. Slab leaks can also occur for other unknown reasons.

We typically recommend a partial or complete repipe to bypass pipes in the slab as opposed to repairing the pipe in the slab. Repairing slab pipes is very invasive and costly and we do not recommend it. Slab repairs involve jackhammering the slab, removing flooring, basboard, etc. Also, it is very common for mulitple slab leaks to exist at the same time or for a slab leak to develope in a different place soon after one repair has been made. The means for locating slab leak can be inaccurate. Pipe replacement is often the most economical route because it actually ads value to the home instead of being a “band aid.” Insurance companies will often apply a portion of what would be a slab repair claim to a complete home pipe replacement.

A typical home has between 15 and 35 sheet rock cuts. A number of factors including the number of plumbing fixtures and design of the house determine the number of holes that are cut. Since part of the Plumbing Express repipe includes sheet rock repair, we do try to minimize the number of cuts.

Unless the customer specifies otherwise, we alway include sheetrock repair, paint match and ceiling texture match in our complete pipe replacement. It’s truly turn-key.

Because we need to be aware of and take into account the unique challenges present in a house, it is better have Plumbing Express give a free on-site inspection and quote. We understand that sometimes potential clients are under a time constraint for various reason so we can give a close idea of the price over the phone.

If we can, we will. We try to prioritize dire plumbing situations. Give us a call and we can discuss our availability with you.

The vast majority of our clients do stay in the home while it is being re-piped. We are sure to restore water at the end of each day and clean up plastic that has been deployed to control debris. While a pipe replacement is a major project, we minimize our foot print.

Any person with an extreme sensitivity to dust or serious medical conditions should NOT stay in the home during the repipe.

Most of our repipes are substantially complete within 2 to 3 working days. Larger or more complicated homes with more wall and ceiling cuts can take four or five days to complete. The job is broken down into two parts 1) Plumbing 2) Sheet rock Repairs.

We are exceptionally skilled at matching and blending ceiling textures including popcorn ceilings (course, medium, and fine textures) and stipple ceilings. Our work is exceptional and your attention will not be drawn to our access areas.

After our pipe replacement, the water distribution pipes in your slab will no longer be in use. Our process bypasses slab pipes so that your home will no longer be susceptible to a slab leak. If your water service line is also polybutylene penetrating the slab, that pipe can also be bypassed as a separate item in the scope of work.

Because our plumbers have seen so many different home configurations, they are able to quickly assess an ideal approach to the repipe of your home. We have a proven method that is efficient and reliable. We use a large amount of plastic sheeting and drop clothes to help protect your home and it’s contents from construction debris and dust.

We use premium piping materials and valves. We include drywall repairs and because we do, the plumbers minimize cutting drywall. Our drywall and paint techs are special people who do great work (everyone at Plumbing Express is a W2 employee and not a subcontractor).

Plumbers who occasionally repipe houses are definitely slower, do more damage to the home finishes, do not include sheetrock repair, and often often do a substandard job simply due to lack of experience. Our experience and skill are the reason realtors trust us with their clients – we provide a good value and don’t stall or otherwise affect the home sale.

An interior pipe replacement is a replacement of the home’s potable water distribution system. The potable water distribution system is defined as: Pipes within a structure that convey water from the water service pipe to the points of utilization. Our standard interior repipe includes replacement of all pipes from the interior (main) shutoff valve to all the fixtures.

Our repipe service differs from other plumbing companies because we repair the home finishes such as drywall, paint, ceiling texture by default as specified in our Interior Repipe Agreement.

Yes we do offer free polybutylene inspections. These inspections and quotes are especially useful to clients who are buying or selling a home because the presence of polybutylene affects the value of your home.
