Highway 50 toward the lake. Foothill houses and a colder winter than the valley.
Pollock Pines is an unincorporated community in El Dorado County on Highway 50, between Placerville and the climb to Tahoe. The houses are foothill homes and cabins, a lot of them from the 1960s through the 1980s, with older places mixed in. Galvanized steel, early copper, and exposed lines are the supply we replace.
Repipe Champions does repiping and nothing else. The new pipe is Uponor PEX-A or L-grade American copper. PEX carries a 25-year parts and labor warranty. Copper carries 30 years. Pollock Pines is not a city, so the plumbing permit is El Dorado County's. We pull it. Most homes are done in 1-2 days, with water back each evening.
We replace failing galvanized steel and early copper pipes with either Uponor PEX-A, the highest-rated flexible pipe system available, or L-grade American copper, depending on your preference. Both come with our 25-year PEX or 30-year copper parts and labor warranty. And our repipe-only volume keeps overhead lean so we can compete with traditional plumbers on price while specializing only in repipes.

📞 Call (888) 423-5215Homes built in the 1950s–1980s are especially prone to these warning signs. Don't wait for a burst pipe.
Brown water means the galvanized is closing up. A split line after a cold night means an exposed section failed. Either one, repeated, is past a single patch.
Mineral buildup inside aging pipes restricts flow over decades. Low pressure at multiple fixtures simultaneously usually means the pipe is the problem.
One pinhole leak is a warning. Two or more means systemic failure: patching won't solve the underlying corrosion happening throughout your pipes.
Rattling or banging sounds in your walls can indicate pressure irregularities or deteriorating pipe sections throughout the system.
Green or white mineral deposits on exposed pipes under sinks or in crawl spaces signal active corrosion and imminent failure risk.
A 1960s-80s foothill house that still has the original supply is worth a look before the next winter.
These are not valley slabs by default. We look at the foundation, how much pipe is in a crawlspace or under a cabin, and whether the line is exposed on an exterior wall.
The town along Highway 50 and the houses toward Sly Park are different access. The visit sets the route.
Much of Pollock Pines went up from the 1960s through the 1980s, with older cabins still in use. Supply pipe from that period is at the age where pinholes and freeze damage repeat. One repaired fitting does not make the rest of the system new.
