How Much Does It Cost to Repipe a House

It’s impossible to list a fixed price for repiping a house. There are too many variables, including:

• Extent and location of any damage
• Number of fixtures (e.g. sinks, toilets, water heater, dishwasher, showers)
• House size and number of stories
• Length of pipe to be replaced
• Type of pipe being replaced
• Type and diameter of new pipe

Other considerations for repiping a house cost calculations:

• Most jurisdictions require homeowners to get a permit before they repipe their house. Permit fees will vary.
• A repiping project can take 1-6 days. While work is underway, the water is shut off. Most plumbing professionals arrange the work so that the water can be turned back on each evening. But you may incur extra incidental costs like eating out.
• You should also contact your home insurance provider prior to repiping your house. There may be changes to premiums based on the type of pipe being installed.

One thing is certain: Repiping a house is a complex project. It’s an investment in your property and family’s well-being. For that reason, you want a professional with repiping expertise and experience.

Not all plumbing companies have the skills, equipment or manpower to successfully complete a repiping project.

• Do an online search for consumer complaints and recommendations
• Get a written contract
• Make sure the contract indicates:
  • If any work will be subcontracted
  • Detailed outline of the scope of work and materials to used
  • Clear start date
  • Expected completion date
  • Recourse for incomplete or delayed work
  • If fees for permits and attending municipal inspections are included
  • Who is responsible for repairing and rehabilitating access points
