Many Encino homes still rely on outdated piping that no longer holds up to daily use. As pipes age, the risk of leaks, low pressure, and water quality issues increases. Our team handles the full replacement of older systems found across Encino’s established neighborhoods.
Pipe materials we commonly replace include:
- Galvanized steel: Standard in many mid-century Encino homes, these pipes corrode from the inside and create flow problems over time.
- Polybutylene: Used in some homes from the late 1970s into the mid-1990s, this material is known for sudden cracking and joint failure.
- Aging copper: Older copper lines can pit and form pinhole leaks due to long-term water chemistry effects.
- Cast-iron drains: These older drain pipes scale up and fracture, leading to slow flow and repeated backups.
- Lead-based piping or fittings: Lead components in older homes need to be removed to meet today’s safe water standards.
Once we identify the existing material, we walk you through a clear plan for replacement. You always know what is being removed, what is going in, and why each step matters.

For Encino homes, we recommend installing PEX or copper piping. Each option has its own strengths, and the right choice depends on your home, plans, and preferences. Our experienced technicians walk you through both before any work begins.
PEX repiping uses cross-linked polyethylene tubing that flexes through walls, ceilings, and tight spaces with ease. PEX installation is fast and reduces the number of openings needed in walls. Many Encino homeowners choose PEX for its quiet performance and lower upfront cost.
Pros:
- Easier on the budget than copper for full-home repipes
- Quieter operation with less water hammer
- Resists scale, corrosion, and freezing
- Faster installation with smaller wall cuts
- Long service life when installed correctly
Cons:
- Not suitable for outdoor or sun-exposed runs
- Should not be placed near very hot surfaces
- May attract rodents in attics or crawl spaces
- Requires special tools and fittings during installation
Copper repiping uses solid copper pipes. Copper handles high water pressure with ease and is built for long-term performance. It is preferred for its strength, longevity, and ability to handle both hot and cold water lines.
Pros:
- Long-lasting and known for decades of dependable use
- Stands up well to high water pressure
- Resists bacteria buildup inside the pipes
- Performs well on both hot and cold lines
- Adds long-term value to the property
Cons:
- Higher upfront cost than PEX
- Slower install due to soldering and rigid layout
- Can develop pinhole leaks in homes with acidic water
- Less flexible in tight spots and complex layouts

Our whole home repipe process is straightforward and organized, so you always know what is happening in your home. The process includes:
We start with a free in-person visit so a licensed plumber can review your plumbing system. Our team identifies the existing pipe material, checks problem areas, and answers your questions. You then receive a clear quote with transparent pricing before any work is scheduled.
Once the quote is approved, we handle all required local permits and paperwork. Our team also preps the work area to keep dust and debris under control. We share the schedule ahead of time so you know what to expect each day.
Our experienced technicians route the new PEX or copper lines through walls, ceilings, and underground sections as needed. We work in clean, organized stages and keep wall openings as small as possible. We also pressure-test the plumbing system to confirm that the lines are functioning properly.
We reconnect every fixture, valve, and faucet, then test the full system to make sure everything performs correctly. Drywall repair is coordinated so your walls and ceilings are restored. Your repipe finishes with a final inspection to confirm the work meets local plumbing standards.
You stay informed at every step, with no surprise charges along the way.
