Re-piping

THE SHORT ANSWER
Two or three leaks in a couple of years, rusty water, or pressure that fell off across the whole house are signs the pipe itself is failing, not one fitting. Galvanized steel and polybutylene both reach a point where every repair just moves the next failure down the line. Hargrave’s repipes homes and businesses in Lafayette, Youngsville and across south Louisiana with modern material, room by room, and tells you honestly when a repair is still the better answer.

Keep repairing, or repipe once?

Repair as they come, or replace the system?

This is the honest arithmetic, and it is different in every house. We will walk your pipe with you before we quote anything.
Repair as they leak
Repipe once
Best for
Sound pipe with one bad fitting, or a house you are selling soon.
Galvanized, polybutylene, or copper that is already pinholing.
What you pay
Less each time, but you pay again, and drywall twice.
One larger number, then the leaks stop being a line item.
Disruption
One wall at a time, but repeatedly, and always unplanned.
A planned job with the water off for known hours, not a 2am scramble.
Water quality
Unchanged. Rust and taste come from the pipe you kept.
Clean material end to end, so discolored water and taste go away.
Pressure
Unchanged where the pipe is narrowed by scale.
Restored, because the new line has full diameter.
The honest version: if you have had one leak in otherwise sound copper, repipe is overkill and we will say so. If you have had three, the fourth is not a coincidence.

Why Acadiana pipe fails early

Hard water on old pipe
Local mineral content scales the inside of galvanized steel until the opening is a fraction of what it started as, which is where whole-house pressure loss comes from.
Humidity outside the pipe
Pipe running through hot, humid wall cavities and attics corrodes from the outside as well as the inside.
Slabs and moving clay
Under-slab supply lines take the stress of soil that swells and shrinks, which is why a repipe here often reroutes overhead instead of chasing pipe through concrete.

How a repipe goes

  1. You book a walkthrough
    Online or by phone, 24/7. We look at material, pressure, water quality and repair history.
  2. We plan the route
    Overhead or under-slab, room by room, with the access points marked so you know exactly where we open and why.
  3. You see the price, then we start
    Priced in person with the scope written down. The price you approve is the price you pay. Financing is available.
  4. Repiped, tested, patched
    New line pressure tested, fixtures run, and access points closed up. We tell you up front what patching is included.

Repiping questions we get every week in Lafayette and Youngsville

How long does a repipe take?
A typical Acadiana home is a few days, with the water off for known hours rather than the whole job. We give you the schedule before we start so you can plan around it.
Will you tear up all my walls?
No. We open access points, not whole walls, and we mark every one with you before we cut. Rerouting overhead through the attic is often the least invasive route in a slab house.
What material do you use?
Modern approved material chosen for the route and the house, and we explain the choice before we start rather than after. Anything we install meets code and is warrantied.
Do I have to do the whole house at once?
Not always. If one wing or one run is the problem we will price that. What we will not do is sell you a whole repipe for a single bad fitting.
Assurance Plan members go first.
Annual water heater flush, priority scheduling, and two inspections a year.
