Why would you repipe your home? If you start having frequent plumbing problems, it might be time to invest in infrastructure.
The more water appliances you have in your home connected to your plumbing system, the more expensive it will be to repipe your home. Some examples of plumbing fixtures that might increase the cost include:
More fixtures in a home mean more feet of pipe that need replacing, increasing the labor time and cost to complete the repiping job. Every sink and tub has both an incoming water line and a secondary drain line. For example, if you have three bathrooms, expect your repiping job to take longer than if you only have one.
More accessible plumbing fixtures are easier to repipe.
The easier it is to get to your pipes, the faster the job goes. How long does repiping a home take? It depends on your home. If you have a plumbing fixture in an out-of-the-way location that's difficult to reach, it adds time to the job, and time is money. A crawlspace, attic, low-clearance basement, or bathroom without easy plumbing access can all mean extra hours to get to the pipes. Sometimes, plumbers may need to cut into drywall, adding to the material cost to finish the job.
No matter what type of pipe you're replacing, the cost is impacted by the material you choose for your new pipes. While we often recommend PEX pipes for homes in Tampa, it isn't always the best choice for lines that might receive sunlight exposure.
In general, the pipe material is one of the biggest line items for whole-home repiping. To get an idea of pricing, consider some of these common pipe material choices and their price tags.
If you have questions about the different options and what you should choose for your home's pipes, talk to one of our experienced plumbers and get a recommendation backed by expertise and local knowledge.
Bigger homes will require more piping materials.
A Tampa home with high square footage needs more piping, increasing the costs of a whole-home repiping project. For example, a single-story home with several bathrooms will have a more affordable repiping installation than a larger, two-story home. Yes, this includes if the larger home has fewer bathrooms. Big homes need enough piping material to run from fixture to fixture.
Multiple stories mean your plumber must navigate through walls and other construction details. Anything that adds pipe length and time adds to the cost.
