Plumber vs. Repipe Company: What's the Difference?
Although plumbers and repipe companies have several overlapping skill sets, what they actually do is very different.
While plumbers are highly skilled professionals who can address a wide range of plumbing problems, they often specialize in repairs and maintenance. On the other hand, a repipe company, like ours, focuses exclusively on comprehensive home repiping solutions.
When you choose a repipe company for your home, you're selecting specialists who thoroughly assess your plumbing, provide long-term solutions, and utilize high-quality materials like PEX tubing and copper piping to ensure your entire plumbing system functions optimally for years to come.
This level of dedication and specialization is what sets repipe companies apart, offering a comprehensive and efficient solution to your home's plumbing needs.
Should I Use A Repipe Company or a Plumber?
When faced with plumbing issues in your home, the decision between choosing a repipe company or a plumber can significantly impact the long-term well-being of your plumbing system.
While plumbers are undoubtedly skilled professionals, they often excel at addressing immediate, localized problems. However, if your home is experiencing widespread issues, opting for a repipe company is the wise choice. Systemic plumbing issues can include old CPVC piping, old polybutylene pipes, leaks under slabs, pinhole copper leaks, or failing galvanized plumbing.
Here at Repipe Specialists, our specialized focus on full home repipes allows us to comprehensively assess the overall health of your plumbing system. We don't just fix the visible issues; we address the root causes, replacing aging or deteriorating pipes with high-quality materials such as PEX tubing or copper piping.
This approach ensures that your entire plumbing network functions cohesively, reducing the likelihood of recurring problems. It's about more than just fixing leaks; it's about safeguarding the integrity and longevity of your home's plumbing infrastructure, saving you from future headaches and expenses.
