Common Questions

Repipe Pricing FAQ

How much does a whole-house repipe cost in the Bay Area?

A whole-house repipe price depends on the number of bathrooms, Uponor PEX-A or L-grade copper, and whether the house is on a slab or a crawlspace. This page is a ballpark. The in-home visit is the price.

How long does a whole-house repipe take?

Most whole-house repipes are completed in 1–2 days. Water is restored each evening. Drywall patching and texturing is done after the city inspection passes.

Is PEX or copper better?

Both are excellent. PEX is flexible, corrosion-resistant, and comes with a 25-year parts and labor warranty. Copper is the traditional premium option with a 30-year parts and labor warranty and is preferred by some HOAs and buyers.

Does a repipe require a permit?

Yes, a permit is required in every Bay Area city. Repipe Champions handles all permitting and schedules the city inspection as part of every job. Fees vary by city.

How does a slab foundation affect cost?

Slab homes require pipes to be rerouted through walls and the attic rather than through the slab. This adds 30–38% to the project cost compared to a crawl space home.

Why is Repipe Champions less expensive?

Repiping is all we do. Our dedicated crews are faster and more efficient than any general plumber billing by the hour. Specialization means lower cost, without any compromise on materials or workmanship.
