Pipe Repair & Repiping: From a Single Leak to a Whole-House Repipe
Have you noticed your water pressure dropping, or maybe your morning shower water has a slight rust tint?
We handle all types of Pipe Repair & Repiping to fix these exact issues for homeowners in Arvada and Wheat Ridge. The average home in Arvada was built around 1984.
Many nearby properties even date back to the 1960s and 1970s. Our team restores reliable water flow, taking care of everything from a single leaking pipe to a full whole-house repipe.
The Hidden Problem With Galvanized Pipes
Those older steel pipes have a protective zinc coating that naturally wears away over time. The exposed metal inside then rusts extremely fast.
We consistently find that galvanized plumbing hits the end of its lifespan right around the 40 to 50-year mark. Arvada also has moderately hard water, measuring around 160 mg/L of total dissolved solids.
These dissolved minerals accelerate scale buildup inside aging lines. Our technicians often pull out old pipes that are nearly choked shut with corrosion. You should watch out for these four common signs of failing pipes:
- Rust-colored water: A brown tint in the morning means the walls are corroding.
- Noticeable drops in pressure: Mineral scale restricts the flow inside the supply lines.
- Frequent pinpoint leaks: Small drips usually indicate the material has worn paper-thin.
- Foul odors or tastes: Iron deposits can change the way the tap water tastes.
Choosing Your New Plumbing: PEX vs. Copper
These warning signs indicate a serious plumbing issue. We want to help you fix the root cause before a major leak happens. Replacing old lines with modern cross-linked polyethylene or copper is often the smartest long-term fix for your property.
This upgrade protects your home from future leaks and water damage. Our goal is to explain your replacement options clearly so you can make the right decision for your budget. You typically have two excellent material choices:
- Flexible PEX Tubing: Modern PEX tubing is flexible, affordable, and highly resistant to freeze damage. This plastic tubing expands slightly during hard Colorado freezes instead of bursting.
- Traditional Copper: Traditional rigid copper lines offer a massive 70-year lifespan. Copper also provides natural antimicrobial properties for your drinking water.
We highly recommend reviewing the costs and benefits of each option. The right choice depends entirely on your specific household needs. Both materials provide excellent long-term reliability.
Our licensed plumbers have installed both materials countless times across the city. Here is a quick look at how the two options compare based on 2026 industry averages:
| Feature | PEX Tubing | Traditional Copper |
|---|---|---|
| Average 2026 Cost | $4,000 to $8,000 | $8,000 to $15,000 |
| Expected Lifespan | 40 to 50+ Years | 50 to 70+ Years |
| Freeze Resistance | Excellent (Expands) | Poor (Prone to bursting) |
| Installation Time | 1 to 3 Days | 3 to 5 Days |
