Whole-Home Repiping in Springfield
Every spring brings the same calls from the same houses: another pinhole, another wet ceiling, another patch on pipe that’s all patches now. Repiping replaces the failing supply lines once, instead of billing you for the same repair on a different fitting every year. We’ve repiped homes across Springfield since 1985.
This town has two classic candidates. The 1940s bungalows near downtown were plumbed in galvanized steel, which rusts shut from the inside: a line that started at three-quarters of an inch may be passing water through a pencil-width channel today, which is why the shower dies when someone opens a faucet. Westgate’s postwar ranches got early copper, and after sixty years of Madison County water, the pinholes arrive in clusters.
What a Repipe Actually Looks Like
Less drama than homeowners fear. We map the runs, open access points rather than whole walls, route new PEX or copper (your choice, priced both ways), and have water back on each night. Most Springfield repipes take two to four days and leave patch-ready openings. Not sure the whole system is shot? Start with leak detection, and consider a water softener to protect the new pipe from the water that ate the old.
The full process is on our repiping page.
