Case study · Repipe
A 99-year-old Berkeley bungalow on galvanized supply. Two pinhole leaks in 60 days meant the rest of the runs were on borrowed time. Full repipe in 3 working days, family stayed in the home.
Or call (303) 555-0179Owner called us at 7:14am after a pinhole leak under the kitchen sink soaked the cabinet overnight. We patched the leak that morning, but the camera scope on the line showed galvanized at 80%+ scale buildup, with the entire supply system on a one-failure-from-emergency timeline. We sat down at the kitchen table with the printed price book that afternoon: $11,800 flat for a full PEX-A repipe, drywall and inspection included. Owner approved by 4pm.
PEX-A over PEX-B for the cold-bend memory (we route around joists rather than fitting at every change). Home-run manifold rather than trunk-and-branch — every fixture gets its own dedicated 3/8 or 1/2 supply with one shutoff at the manifold and one at the fixture. Recirc loop added on the hot side (Taco 006 with on-demand button) because Berkeley homes notoriously waste a gallon of water waiting for hot to reach the master bath.
Three days, two master plumbers, one apprentice. Family stayed in the house — we set up temp water (a single garden hose to the kitchen tap each evening) so they had a working sink overnight. Drywall patches done by our trim crew Day 3, paint-ready surfaces. Final inspection signed by Denver Building Day 4, file closed.
Pressure tested to 100 psi and held for 24 hours before we closed walls. Hot water at the master bath in 8 seconds (was 45 seconds before). Owner reports water bill down ~18% the following month, mostly from eliminating the silent leaks the camera scope caught at three other locations we replaced.
