Our Repiping Services
Copper Repiping
Copper is a proven water-supply piping material that can provide a durable, rigid plumbing system when properly installed. McKee Brothers provides copper repiping for homeowners and businesses when copper is appropriate for the property’s plumbing layout, installation requirements, and project goals.
PEX Repiping
PEX is a flexible water-supply piping material that can be routed efficiently through many existing homes, including walls, ceilings, crawlspaces, and appropriate overhead areas. McKee Brothers has completed whole-house PEX repiping projects involving new hot and cold water lines, shutoff valves, supply lines, insulation, testing, and code-compliant installation.

Galvanized Pipe Replacement
Aging galvanized water lines can develop corrosion, buildup, leaks, and water-flow problems over time. When deterioration is affecting the plumbing system, McKee Brothers can replace old galvanized piping with modern water-supply lines designed to provide reliable service throughout the property.
When Should You Consider Repiping Your Home?
One plumbing leak does not necessarily mean your home needs to be repiped. However, recurring problems throughout the water-supply system can indicate that aging or deteriorating pipes deserve a closer look.
Warning signs can include repeated pipe leaks, persistent low water pressure affecting multiple fixtures, discolored water, visible corrosion, aging galvanized plumbing, and repairs occurring in different areas of the home.
When problems become widespread, replacing deteriorating water lines may provide a more practical long-term solution than continuing to repair individual sections as they fail. McKee Brothers can evaluate the existing plumbing and help determine whether a localized repair or a more comprehensive repiping project is appropriate.

Frequently Asked Questions
Here are some common questions we receive about our repiping services. If you have any other questions, feel free to contact us.
What is repiping?
Repiping involves replacing aging, damaged, corroded, or problematic water-supply pipes with new piping. Depending on the condition of the plumbing, this may involve replacing a portion of the system or installing new water lines throughout the home. Repiping can address problems such as recurring leaks, deteriorating galvanized pipes, restricted water flow, and other issues caused by aging plumbing.
How do I know if I need repiping?
Signs that your home may need repiping include recurring leaks, aging galvanized pipes, persistent low water pressure affecting multiple fixtures, discolored water, visible corrosion, and plumbing repairs occurring in different areas of the home. One isolated leak does not necessarily mean you need a whole-house repipe, so the plumbing system should be evaluated before deciding whether repair or replacement is appropriate.
How long does the repiping process take?
The time required for repiping depends on the size and layout of the property, accessibility of the existing plumbing, the amount of piping being replaced, and the scope of the project. A typical repiping project may take anywhere from a few days to a week. McKee Brothers can provide a more specific timeframe after evaluating your plumbing system and determining the work required.
Will repiping damage my home?
Repiping an existing home may require access to plumbing located behind walls, above ceilings, in crawlspaces, or in other parts of the structure. Our team plans new pipe routes carefully and works to minimize unnecessary disruption while providing the access needed for proper installation. The amount of access required depends on the home’s construction and the design of the new plumbing system.
What types of pipes do you use?
McKee Brothers provides both PEX and copper repiping options. PEX is a flexible water-supply material that can be routed efficiently through many existing homes, while copper provides a traditional rigid metal piping system. The appropriate material depends on the property, plumbing layout, project requirements, and homeowner preferences.
How much does repiping cost?
Repiping costs vary based on factors such as the size and layout of the home, the amount of piping being replaced, accessibility, the material selected, the number of fixtures served, and the overall scope of the project. McKee Brothers can evaluate your existing plumbing and provide an estimate based on the specific work your property requires.
Real Repiping Projects Completed by McKee Brothers
Repiping is a major plumbing project, so homeowners should know that the company they hire has experience replacing real water-supply systems. McKee Brothers Plumbing & Rooter has completed repiping projects throughout our service area involving aging galvanized plumbing, leaking water lines, overhead PEX installation, new service lines, and whole-house water distribution systems.
Fresh-Water Repiping in Davis, CA
A Davis homeowner contacted our team after a water leak affected the home’s plumbing system. McKee Brothers rebuilt the service line at the front of the property and installed a new overhead PEX piping system supplying the kitchen, laundry, and three bathrooms.
The new plumbing was properly strapped and insulated, and our team handled the permitting and inspection requirements. The completed project provided the home with a new fresh-water distribution system designed for reliable service throughout the property.
Galvanized Pipe Replacement and PEX Repiping in Woodland, CA
At a Woodland home, a water-supply leak developed at an elbow connection in the crawlspace. The property still had existing galvanized water lines, so our team completed a fresh-water repipe rather than simply leaving the aging system in place.
McKee Brothers removed the existing galvanized water lines and installed a new PEX Uponor/Wirsbo system throughout the home. The project included new hot and cold water lines, shutoff valves, and supply lines. All piping was properly secured and tested to ensure the new system was functioning correctly before completion.
These projects demonstrate why every repiping job should begin with an evaluation of the actual property. The appropriate pipe routing, materials, access points, and scope of replacement can vary from one home to another.
