How Much Should it Cost to Replace My Plumbing?
In general, our plumbing replacements range from $4,500 for a two-bedroom, one-bath house to $15,000 for larger properties and more complex projects.
If you are researching repipe pricing for large multi-family properties such as HOAs, condos, or apartments, please visit our Multi-Family Division site. Repipe Specialists' Multi-Family Division provides quotes for complex multi-unit projects, including project management support for tenant units and project financing.
At Repipe Specialists, we have completed thousands of repipes across the USA, focusing solely on full-home plumbing replacements.
A whole-home repipe is more affordable than you might think and is almost certainly less expensive than repeatedly repairing damage from leaks caused by systemic plumbing issues such as old CPVC piping, old polybutylene pipes, slab leaks, pinhole copper leaks, or failing galvanized pipes.

Factors That Will Affect The Cost To Replace Your Plumbing
When choosing between a general plumber and a repipe specialist, consider the following factors:
- Size of the Area Being Repiped: The size of your repiping project determines the amount of materials and labor required. It also affects the total length of plumbing needed, which impacts the overall cost.
- Number of Plumbing Fixtures: The number of fixtures in a home can influence the extent of repiping required and the overall cost.
- Accessibility of the Pipes: Pipe accessibility can significantly affect labor costs and the choice of piping material. Factors such as attics, raised foundations, open sub-flooring, basements, and standard hollow wall construction can all impact the cost of replacement.
- Complexity of the Installation: Installation complexity depends on factors such as layout, obstacles, the age of the home, and any prior renovations. Hard-to-reach areas or intricate branching can increase project complexity and affect overall costs.
- Type of Piping Material: Choosing the right piping material is essential for a successful plumbing replacement. Materials differ in durability, longevity, and maintenance requirements. At Repipe Specialists, we use Uponor PEX tubing and American-made L-grade copper piping. PEX is often more cost-effective than copper and offers numerous benefits for plumbing replacement.
Generalist Plumber vs Repipe Specialist: What Is More Cost-Effective?
When choosing between a general plumber and a repipe specialist for replacing your plumbing, consider the following factors:
General Plumber
General plumbing companies offer a range of services, from small plumbing repairs to larger projects. They handle various aspects of home plumbing, including gas, sewer, and fixtures.
However, general plumbers typically work in small teams of one or two and have a broad skill set. Since they are not focused solely on plumbing replacements, these jobs may take longer to complete, potentially increasing costs due to extended labor and operational expenses.
Repipe Specialist
For whole-home repiping, a company specializing in this service can provide a more focused, efficient, and cost-effective replacement.
At Repipe Specialists, we focus exclusively on whole-home repiping. Our dedicated crews work in teams, allowing us to complete most jobs within one to two days. This reduces labor costs and ensures a swift replacement of your plumbing system.
With extensive experience from performing multiple repipes each week, our crews have honed their skills, making them highly efficient and cost-effective.
To maintain consistent quality, all our crews undergo a comprehensive certification process, combining online and on-site training. This ensures adherence to our standardized One-Stop Repipe™ process, developed over 30+ years and thousands of repipes.
Choosing a repipe specialist not only saves money on the initial replacement but also reduces potential future plumbing issues. Our focused expertise ensures a reliable, cost-effective, and long-lasting solution for your home's plumbing.
