Old galvanized pipes rust from the inside, choking water pressure and causing leak after leak. A planned repipe with PEX or copper gives your home clean water, strong pressure and decades of reliability.
Many homes in Lombard were built when galvanized steel was standard for water lines. After 50 or more years, those pipes corrode internally, reducing water pressure, discoloring water and developing leaks that keep coming back.
Repiping replaces your home’s water supply lines all at once with modern materials. We plan the route carefully to minimize wall and ceiling openings, keep you informed every day and test the entire system before we finish.
If you are seeing several of these, repairs may no longer be the best value.
Repeated leaks in different places mean the pipe material is failing throughout the home.
Corrosion buildup inside galvanized pipe narrows the opening and chokes pressure.
Brown or yellow water, especially first thing in the morning, points to corroding pipe.
Galvanized steel lines are past their expected lifespan in most older homes.

Most single-family homes take a few days, depending on size, number of bathrooms and access. We give you a timeline with your quote.
In most cases water is shut off only during working hours, and we restore service at the end of each day whenever possible.
Both are excellent. PEX is flexible, freeze-resistant and typically less invasive to install. Copper is very durable and long-lasting. We help you choose based on your home and budget.
We keep openings as small as possible and can discuss patching options with you during the quote.
