Whole House Repiping in North Charleston, SC

Your local Charleston plumber starts every repipe with a full system inspection. We map your existing pipe materials, identify active corrosion zones, and locate any leaks behind walls or under slabs before a single wall is opened. That diagnostic step matters more than most homeowners realize. A house mixing galvanized steel in the supply lines with CPVC on the branch runs needs a different approach than one running polybutylene throughout.

North Charleston's pipe history tracks closely with its building decades. Homes built before 1970 in neighborhoods like Park Circle often still have galvanized steel supply lines. Galvanized corrodes from the inside out. Mineral deposits narrow the pipe over decades, reducing your flow even when street pressure is fine. Once the pipe walls are thin enough to leak, patching one spot just shifts the failure to the next weak section down the line. Polybutylene, common in homes built from the late 1970s through the mid-1990s, degrades when it comes into contact with chlorine in the water supply. Fittings fail suddenly. A wet ceiling or an unexpected pressure drop is often the only warning before a fitting cracks. CPVC, standard in many 1980s builds, becomes brittle with age. Temperature swings and minor physical stress from settling can cause it to crack.

Once we've confirmed the scope, we protect your floors and finished surfaces before any walls are opened. We work in sections to keep water running to parts of the house while other areas are being repiped. Most single-family homes in North Charleston are completed in one to three days, depending on system size and pipe accessibility. New supply lines go in as copper or PEX, matched to your home's layout and local code requirements. After every new line is connected, we pressure-test the full system before the walls close. If a fitting is leaking, the test catches it now, not after the drywall goes back up.
