Copper Repiping in McMinnville, OR

Some homeowners prefer copper for its long track record and rigidity. We install Type L copper, which has a thicker wall than the Type M used in many older homes. Joints are soldered with lead-free solder or pressed with ProPress fittings. Copper repipes usually cost more and take a bit longer than PEX.

Repiping for Hard Water Areas in McMinnville, OR

Soft water can be slightly corrosive, which may lead to pinhole leaks in copper pipe and blue-green stains on fixtures. Water in many areas contains minerals that cause scale buildup inside pipes over time. This hard water scale narrows the pipe's diameter, reduces water pressure, and can speed up corrosion, especially in galvanized and older copper pipes. Our repipe specialists consider local water conditions, recommending materials like PEX or properly installed copper that are more resistant to mineral accumulation, ensuring a longer-lasting plumbing system.

Efficient PEX Repiping in McMinnville, OR

PEX (cross-linked polyethylene) is a flexible, cost-effective, and highly popular choice for repiping projects in McMinnville, OR. Its flexibility allows for fewer connections, reducing potential leak points and making installation quicker and less intrusive than traditional rigid pipes. PEX is also highly resistant to freezing, scaling, and chlorine, common issues in many water systems. We use high-quality PEX-A or PEX-B tubing, installed with durable crimp or expansion fittings, to create a reliable and efficient plumbing network throughout your home.

PEX-A Whole-Home Repiping in McMinnville

PEX-A tubing is flexible, resists scale buildup and handles thermal expansion well, which suits hard water. We use Uponor or similar PEX-A with cold expansion fittings that open up the full pipe diameter. Long continuous runs mean fewer joints in walls and attics. Most homes are repiped with PEX in two to three days.

Slab Leak Repiping Solutions in McMinnville

Slab leaks are a serious and damaging problem for homes built on concrete foundations. Hillside homes can face soil movement after heavy rain, which can shift buried water and sewer lines. These leaks often require rerouting or repiping entire sections of your plumbing system to bypass the damaged pipes under the slab. Our repipe specialists use advanced detection tools to pinpoint slab leaks and then reroute new PEX or copper lines through your attic or walls, completely bypassing the problematic underground sections. This prevents further foundation damage and restores water service without breaking your slab.

Kitec and Polybutylene Replacement in McMinnville

Kitec, with its orange or blue PEX-AL-PEX pipe and brass fittings, and gray polybutylene pipe are both known for failures. Many homes built in the 1980s through early 2000s contain one or the other. We replace these systems completely so your home is easier to insure and sell. Visible pipe at the water heater often tells us what you have.
