Whole House Repipe in San Jose California
Whole House Copper Repipe: San Jose, CA
This whole house repiping project in San Jose involved a complete replacement of the original galvanized steel pipes in a 1,850 sq ft single-family home in the Willow Glen neighborhood. The homeowners had been experiencing low water pressure throughout the house, discolored water, and a persistent metallic taste: all classic signs of aging galvanized pipe failure.
The Problem
The home was built in 1962 and still had its original galvanized steel supply lines. After 60+ years, the pipes had corroded from the inside out, significantly restricting flow and leaching rust into the water supply. A camera inspection confirmed severe internal buildup with multiple pinhole leaks developing throughout the system.
Our Solution
Our crew completed a full copper repipe in San Jose over two days with water restored each evening. We replaced every supply line, hot and cold, from the main shutoff throughout the entire home, including all branch lines to the kitchen, two bathrooms, laundry room, and exterior hose bibs. All work was permitted through the City of San Jose and passed final inspection.
Results
The homeowners immediately noticed the difference: full water pressure at every fixture, crystal-clear water, and no more metallic odor. The project included a 25-year labor and materials warranty on PEX-A, 30-year on copper and qualifies for a homeowner’s insurance premium reduction with most Bay Area carriers.
