Step-by-Step Onsite Process

What to expect when our technician arrives

At Bayshore Plumbers, we make a complex job feel easy — for you. Here’s what our process looks like when we perform a full home re-pipe:

Step-by-Step Breakdown

Home Plumbing Assessment

We inspect visible and hidden plumbing using diagnostic tools and review your home’s water pressure, flow, and age of existing materials (e.g., galvanized steel, copper, polybutylene, etc.).

Custom Re-pipe Plan

We design a re-pipe plan using modern materials like PEX or copper. You’ll receive a clear breakdown of locations, routes, wall access points, and timelines.

Permitting & Prep

We handle all necessary city permits and prepare your home (cover floors, protect furniture, coordinate wall access).

Pipe Replacement Execution

Old piping is removed or bypassed. New lines are routed with minimal wall damage using clean, strategic cut-outs.

System Testing & Wall Patching

We test the entire system under pressure, check all fixtures, and backfill, seal, or patch wall openings.

Final Walkthrough & Cleanup

We walk you through the work done, ensure satisfaction, and leave your home clean.

Time Estimate:
Small homes (1–2 bath): 1–2 days
Larger homes (3+ baths): 2–4 days

Ensures clean water to all fixtures

Eliminates hidden leaks and pinhole bursts

Prevents lead or rust contamination

Restores full pressure and flow

Brings your plumbing up to modern code

A re-pipe is peace of mind — protecting your property, plumbing performance, and family health.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I know if my home needs a full re-pipe?

Signs include low water pressure, discolored or metallic-tasting water, frequent leaks, or visible corrosion on exposed pipes. If your home is 30+ years old with original plumbing (especially galvanized steel or polybutylene), it may be time to re-pipe for safety, performance, and code compliance.

We inspect your existing plumbing, plan a new layout using PEX or copper, pull city permits, and replace old pipes with minimal wall access. After testing the system for leaks and restoring water flow, we patch walls and clean up — all with care and efficiency.

For most homes, re-piping takes:

  • 1–2 days for smaller homes (1–2 baths)
  • 2–4 days for larger homes (3+ baths)
We’ll give you a custom timeline based on your layout, pipe condition, and accessibility.

We try to limit full shutoff to a few hours during key stages. For multi-day projects, we coordinate carefully to ensure at least one working bathroom or kitchen area whenever possible. You’ll never be left without essential access for long.

We typically use PEX or copper, depending on your home and preferences.

  • PEX is flexible, corrosion-resistant, and cost-effective
  • Copper is durable and ideal for exposed areas or high-heat zones
    We’ll help you choose what fits your budget, layout, and long-term goals.

Yes — a full re-pipe restores water quality, pressure, and long-term reliability, eliminates hidden leaks, and increases property value. It also ensures your plumbing is up to code and safer for your family.
