Whole-Home Repiping in Georgetown, TX
Rust-colored water, pinhole leaks, low pressure in the shower when someone runs a hose — when the pipes themselves are the problem, patching is throwing money into the walls. We repipe Georgetown homes in PEX or copper, most in one to two days.
Who actually needs a repipe in Georgetown?
Sun City Texas homeowners, first. Most Del Webb homes there were plumbed with copper in the late 1990s and 2000s. Copper is good pipe — but Georgetown's hard lake water (that 9–12 gpg mineral load) erodes it from the inside, and the ground movement under slabs works it from the outside. If you've had two or more pinhole leaks, discolored water, or you're about to remodel a bathroom anyway, a repipe costs less than the leak-chase over the next decade.
Older Georgetown homes, second. Houses near the historic square and in established neighborhoods like Georgetown Village and Serenada may still carry galvanized supply lines, which corrode shut from the inside. Classic symptoms: pressure that dies when two fixtures run, and rust at the tap on the first draw of the morning.
PEX or copper?
- PEX (most Georgetown homes): flexible, quiet (no water hammer), freeze-tolerant, faster to install — which means lower labor cost. Manufacturers back it with 25-year warranties.
- Copper: the premium choice; rigid, rodent-proof, and time-tested. Costs more in material and labor, and it sings when pressure changes — some homeowners love that, some don't.
For slab homes we typically recommend a PEX repipe routed through walls and attic, abandoning the failing under-slab lines. The new system stays accessible forever, and your floors and foundation stay intact. In historic Old Town homes we may mix methods to respect original construction — we'll walk you through the plan before a single wall opens.
What a repipe day looks like
- Day 0 — walkthrough: we map every fixture, pick routes, and tell you exactly which wall or ceiling panels open. Most homes need only a handful of surgical cuts.
- Day 1 — rough-in: crew arrives early, runs the new system, mounts a manifold if it's a home-run layout. Water is off part of the day; we restore it every evening — you're never sleeping in a waterless house.
- Day 2 — connect & test: tie fixtures in, pressure-test, patch and texture the access holes. Full water pressure restored.
Most 2–3 bath Georgetown homes finish in one to two working days with a two- to four-person crew, and we protect flooring and furniture throughout. You'll receive pressure-test photos and a warranty on both material and labor.
What it costs
Size, fixture count, material choice, and attic access drive the number. Most Georgetown repipes land between $4,500 and $12,000 — see our pricing page for ranges. It's a real investment, so we quote it fixed: the number we give is the number you pay.

Repipe FAQ quick hits
Do I have to move out?
No. Most families stay home during a repipe. We restore water every evening and keep at least one bathroom working overnight.
Will my walls be destroyed?
No. We make surgical drywall cuts at key points and patch them when done. You'll know every cut location before we start.
How long does it last?
Quality PEX carries 25-year manufacturer warranties and a 50+ year service life; copper can outlive the house. Either beats a 30-year-old leaking line.
