“We had three pinhole leaks in two years. They opened the walls on Monday and by Tuesday afternoon the paint on the patches was dry.”

PEX repipe crews · Henderson, Nevada
A whole-house repipe in two days, walls patched
Three repipe crews, a permits coordinator and one written plan. Water is off by noon on day one; day two is patch and paint.

The signature of every job
Two days, hour by hour
Most whole-house repipes follow this plan. The written plan for your house says how many days yours needs.
- Day 1 · 7:00 a.m.
Step 1: The crew arrives and covers the floors
The crew lead walks the house with you, marks every fixture and every wall to open, and lays floor covers from the door to each work area.
- Day 1 · by noon
Step 2: Water off, old lines out
We shut the water at the main, open the walls we marked and pull the old copper. This is the only stretch with no water.
- Day 1 · afternoon
Step 3: New PEX to every fixture
Each fixture gets its own PEX line from a central manifold. The crews crimp every fitting and tag the manifold so the shutoffs are easy to find later.
- Day 1 · early evening
Step 4: Pressure test, water back on
We pressure-test the new lines, turn the water on and run every fixture. You see each valve and where the main shutoff is now.
- Day 2 · morning
Step 5: Drywall patched and textured
Every opening is closed with new drywall, taped, floated and textured to match the wall around it. The repair is in the plan, not an add-on.
- Day 2 · afternoon
Step 6: Paint, walkthrough, cleanup
The patches get primer and paint. We walk the house with you, haul away the old pipe and the scraps, and close the permit paperwork.
Paint is matched by eye to the wall it sits on. Older paint fades, so a patch can show in strong light.

Days for a typical house

Copper that old can leak from the inside
A pinhole leak starts inside the pipe wall. It shows up as a stain, a damp spot or a water bill that climbs, and one patch doesn't tell you about the next pin.

What people wrote after the two days
“When an inspection flags the copper, I send the seller here. The permit copy and the written plan are in my inbox before I've booked the photographer.”
Raymundo D.Realtor
“Marcelino showed us every wall they would open before they touched one. The patches are hard to find unless you know where to look.”

Listing a house with copper pipe?
Realtors get the written plan, the permit copy and a schedule that works around escrow.
Quick answers
Do I have to leave the house?
Most people stay. The water is off from about noon on day one until the evening test. Fill a few jugs and plan on a restroom elsewhere in that window.
Is the drywall repair really in the plan?
Yes. The written plan lists each opening and how it's patched, textured and painted. Repainting a whole room isn't included unless the plan says so.
Who pulls the permit?
Our permits coordinator files it with the city or county before the crews come, and books the inspection.
What if you open a wall and find something else?
We stop, show you and write down what we found. Anything the plan didn't list is priced and agreed with you before we go on.
Ask for a walk-through
Tell us about the house. Our scheduler calls to set a walk-through, usually within a business day.
