Overview

If your home still runs on galvanized steel or polybutylene pipe, you're living on borrowed time. These materials corrode, restrict flow, and eventually fail — often inside a wall or under a slab where you can't see it coming. 5 Star Plumbing & Sewer specializes in clean, code-compliant whole-house repiping using copper and PEX, restoring full water pressure and giving you decades of worry-free service.

Frequently Asked Questions

How long does a whole-house repipe take?

Most single-family homes are completed in 2–4 working days, depending on square footage, number of fixtures, and wall/ceiling access.

Will I be without water during the repipe?

We stage the work so water is only shut off for short windows each day, and we always confirm timing with you in advance.

Copper or PEX — which is better?

Both are excellent, code-approved materials. Copper is time-tested and rigid; PEX is flexible, quieter, and highly resistant to freezing. We'll recommend the best fit for your home during your free estimate.
