Galvanized steel
Dull grey metal with threaded joints. Central Edmond homes built before the mid-1960s.

Whole-house repiping in Edmond, OK
PEX repiping for galvanized, polybutylene and repeat-failure copper. Most homes never need it, and we will tell you if yours does not.
Typical Edmond PEX repipe
$6,500 – $14,000
Quoted after we walk the house, never over the phone.
Do you actually need a repipe?
It is the right call when
- Galvanized steel supply has rusted closed inside. Low pressure and rusty water are the tell
- Copper has pinholed two or three times. Patching costs more over five years
- Polybutylene is in the walls. It fails without warning and insurers dislike it
- Slab leaks keep recurring. A reroute beats a third slab repair
It is not when
- You have had one leak. One leak is not a repipe
- Low pressure is at a single fixture. That is usually an aerator or supply stop
- Someone quoted it without pressure testing or checking the pipe material. Get a second opinion, including on us
Which pipe do you have?
Look where the water line enters the house or at the water heater connections.
Polybutylene
Grey plastic with crimped fittings. Installed into the mid-1990s.
ReplaceCopper
Orange-brown metal with soldered joints. Fine above ground; under a slab it can pinhole.

Why we repipe with PEX
Handles our temperature swingsBetter than copper through Oklahoma summers and freezes.
Far fewer jointsFewer joints means fewer places to fail.
Less drywall comes outIt runs faster through walls and attic, so there is less to patch.
How a repipe goes
- BeforeWalk-through and quote
We pressure test, check the pipe material and quote in writing.
- Step 1Open where needed
Only where connections are made, not along every pipe run.
- Step 2Run the new system
Water is off for part of each day and restored overnight.
- Step 3Test, patch, texture
Pressure tested, then drywall patched and textured. Included in the quote.
Most Edmond houses take two to four days from start to finish.
Book a repipe walk-through
We look at the pipe, pressure test the system and tell you plainly whether a repipe is worth it.
- Honest answer, even if it is no
- Patching and texturing included
- Water back on every night
Not an emergency?
Leave your number and we’ll call you back to book a slot. For anything actively leaking, call (405) 555-0142 instead.
Do I actually need a repipe?
Usually not. Genuine cases are galvanized steel supply that has corroded closed, polybutylene, or copper that has pinholed repeatedly. One leak is not a repipe. If someone quotes a whole-house repipe off a single failure without pressure testing, get a second opinion.
How long does it take and will I have water?
Most Edmond homes are two to four days. Water is off for part of each working day rather than the whole time, and we restore supply overnight.
Why PEX rather than copper?
It handles our temperature swings better, has far fewer joints so fewer failure points, and runs faster through walls and attic, which means less drywall comes out and less reinstatement to pay for.
How much drywall comes out?
Less than people expect. We open where connections have to be made rather than following the pipe run. Patching and texturing is included in the quote, not billed as an extra afterwards.
