Whole-House Repiping
Old or damaged pipes can lead to leaks, water pressure issues, and costly plumbing failures. If your home has outdated plumbing, repiping can provide stronger, more reliable water flow and prevent future leaks. On The Way Plumbing offers expert whole-house repiping to replace aging pipes and upgrade your plumbing system for long-term performance.
What Qualifies as a Plumbing Emergency?
Not sure if your situation is an emergency? Here are the most critical plumbing failures that require immediate service.
requent leaks or pipe bursts
Repeated leaks often mean your pipes are deteriorating from age or corrosion, increasing the risk of sudden failures.
Low water pressure
Corroded or clogged pipes restrict water flow, making showers weak and sinks slow to fill. Buildup in old pipes can worsen over time.
Rusty or discolored water
Brown or reddish water signals internal pipe corrosion, which can affect water quality and lead to leaks.
Pipes made of outdated materials
Galvanized steel, lead, or polybutylene pipes are prone to corrosion, leaks, or failure and should be replaced.

PEX vs. Copper: What’s Best?
Pipe Material Options
We’ll help you assess pipe materials for your budget and needs:
- PEX piping is a flexible, corrosion-resistant option that’s easy to install and cost-effective
- Copper piping is time-tested material known for its strength, longevity, and natural resistance to bacteria
Tip: PEX is a great alternative to copper because it’s more affordable, easier to install, and resistant to freezing.
