Repiping in Alhambra
Brown water after a vacation, low flow at every tap, or one leak after another means the supply lines are done. Text (310) 628-9399.
Galvanized in older Alhambra homes
Houses from before the 1960s were often plumbed with galvanized steel. Over the decades it rusts inside and the bore narrows.
A partial repipe handles the worst runs; a whole-house repipe replaces them all.
Choosing PEX or copper
PEX bends around framing and needs fewer wall openings. Copper is rigid and durable. We discuss which fits your walls and budget.
In apartment buildings
Units can often be repiped one at a time, with water off only to that unit.
We patch access holes and pressure-test the new lines before turning everything back on.
Plaster walls in older houses
Early Alhambra homes often have lath-and-plaster walls. We plan access openings carefully to limit patching.
Where a crawlspace exists, most runs go underneath instead.
