Who We Serve
From 4-unit buildings to 400-unit apartment complexes -- we have the crew size, systems, and experience to complete your project on time and on budget.
Garden-style, podium, and high-rise apartments. We work unit-by-unit to minimize tenant disruption while keeping the project on schedule.
HOA-managed projects with board coordination, owner notifications, and documentation to satisfy CC&Rs and insurance requirements.
We understand the heightened care needed for senior residents -- flexible scheduling, extended notice periods, and minimal water disruption windows.
Office buildings, retail-residential mixed-use, and light commercial -- after-hours and weekend scheduling available to protect business operations.
How It Works
Every multi-family repipe follows a structured process designed to minimize disruption, keep residents informed, and deliver a flawless installation.
A project manager walks the property, assesses current pipe conditions, documents your plumbing configuration, and delivers a detailed written bid within 48 hours -- broken down per unit.
Free -- No ObligationWe create a unit-by-unit schedule, provide professionally written tenant notice templates, coordinate with management and HOA boards, and pull all required permits before a single pipe is touched.
Tenant Templates IncludedOur crew repipes one unit at a time with a 2-4 hour daily water outage window per unit. We patch and paint drywall access points, clean up completely each day, and restore water before leaving.
2-4 Hr Water Outage Per UnitWe coordinate all city inspections and obtain final sign-off on permits. You receive full inspection documentation -- critical for insurance, property sales, and HOA records.
All Permits & Inspections HandledA project manager walks the completed property with ownership or management, addresses any punch-list items, and delivers your up to 30-year labor and materials warranty documentation for every unit.
Up to 30-Year Warranty IssuedWhy Repipe Champions
We've completed hundreds of multi-unit repipes across the Bay Area. Here's what property managers and HOA boards tell us made the difference.
Every multi-family project gets a dedicated PM who is your single point of contact from bid to warranty -- available by phone and email throughout the project.
Our unit-by-unit method limits water outages to 2-4 hours per unit per day. Residents have hot water back before dinner, every day of the project.
We provide professionally written resident notification templates -- door notices, email templates, and project schedules -- so your team spends zero time drafting communications.
Replacing pipes due to a leak event or insurance claim? We work directly with adjusters and provide the documentation insurers require for claim approval.
Multi-family repipes are a significant investment. Our 0% APR financing options help property owners manage cash flow without delaying a critical infrastructure upgrade.
Our 25-year PEX / 30-year copper warranty covers parts and labor on every unit in the building -- a transferable asset that adds real value to your property.
Materials
We use only premium materials on multi-family projects -- L-grade American copper and Uponor PEX, the two trusted options for long-term performance in multi-unit buildings.

Specialist vs Generalist
Multi-family repipes are won or lost on speed, schedule discipline, and tenant communication. Here's why a dedicated repipe crew finishes faster, prices tighter, and warranties longer than a general-plumbing contractor.
A specialist crew can finish a 24-unit building in 9 - 14 days. General plumbing crews context-switching between service calls and new construction typically need 4 - 6 weeks for the same project. The schedule is the cost.
Because our crews don't move between job types, there's no idle time, no scope drift, and no surprise change orders. That lower overhead lands directly in your bid as a fixed price. You know the total before the first wall is cut.
Repipe Champions carries a up to 30-year warranty on every multi-family repipe -- transferable to new owners and HOA boards. We can offer that because every crew member does this work every day, on every job.
You get a single project manager who owns the schedule, tenant notices, inspector coordination, and daily property-manager check-ins. No subcontractor handoffs. No "the other crew was supposed to handle that."
Tenant-First Install Protocol
Multi-family repiping happens inside occupied units, on a tight schedule, with elderly residents, sleeping infants, work-from-home tenants, and pets all in play. Our protocol is built around that reality:
