Whole-home and partial repiping, including polybutylene pipe replacement for Florida homes.

Aging pipes made of galvanized steel, polybutylene, or deteriorating copper can cause low water pressure, discolored water, and frequent leaks. People's Choice Plumbing provides whole-home and partial repiping services, replacing old pipe systems with modern, durable materials like PEX or copper. We work efficiently to minimize disruption, typically completing a whole-home repipe in two to three days. Our repiping service includes patching of access points and a clean, professional finish. Polybutylene pipes are a particular concern for Florida homeowners. Used widely in homes built from the late 1970s through the mid-1990s, these gray plastic pipes were once a low-cost alternative to copper — but they react with chlorine and other treatment chemicals in the public water supply, becoming brittle and failing from the inside out, often without warning. Because so many Palm Beach County and Martin County homes were built during that era, polybutylene pipe replacement is one of the most common repiping jobs we perform. If your home still has poly pipes, replacing them with PEX or copper protects you from sudden leaks and the water damage they cause.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I know if my home needs repiping?

Signs include frequent leaks, rusty or discolored water, low water pressure, visible corrosion on pipes, and pinhole leaks. Homes built before 1990 with polybutylene or galvanized pipes are strong candidates for repiping.

Are polybutylene pipes a problem in Florida?

Yes. Polybutylene pipes were installed in many Florida homes built between roughly 1978 and 1995. Over time they react with chlorine in the water supply and degrade from the inside, leading to unexpected leaks and pipe failures. While polybutylene is no longer used in new construction, many older homes across Palm Beach County and Martin County still have it. Replacing poly pipes with PEX or copper is the only permanent fix.

How much does repiping cost in Florida?

A whole-home repipe typically runs $4,000 to $15,000, depending on the size of the home, the number of bathrooms, pipe material, and how accessible the existing pipes are. Partial repipes cost less. We provide a detailed, upfront quote after assessing your home — with no hidden fees.
