What is Re Piping?
Repiping is the process of removing or bypassing an existing system in a home, building, etc., whether it be a domestic (fresh water intake) or a sewer (waste out take) system. Plumbing does not last forever. You may need to have your pipes replaced, or repiped, for a variety of reasons.
Why Repipe?
If you are experiencing excessive drain cleaning bills due to back ups, most likely your system consists of galvanized, cast iron, or clay piping. Slug builds up in cast iron, or galvanized waste piping. By drain cleaning all you accomplish is a 1/4″ hole through the slug out of a 2″ or 3″ waste pipe, then after 2 to 6 months you need to clean the waste line again, the process is repetitive, and so are the bills.

Our repipe crews are on schedule, on time, and always clean! Our repiping specialist will come out to give you a personal review of the job to see what is the best way to do the repipe for you.
A proposal is then sent to you for your consideration. If you decide to have us do the work for you, a contract will be drawn up based upon the proposal and what you have determined you want done.
A home repipe generally takes 2 to 3 days to complete. Our crews strive to have some water back on for your basic needs by the end of the first day, and leave your home every night as livable as possible. All work is permitted and inspected by the City of Tucson.
Repiping should not wait until you start noticing leaks. Watch for signs associated with degenerating pipes, such as flakes of dark material in your water, odd-tasting tap water, or decreasing water pressure. Many homeowners think the “squeeze” test is adequate — this is, when you squeeze a pipe in your hand or between your fingers, looking for leaks in the joint that show up when the pipe gives a little. But pipes degenerated to this point have gone too far. Instead of using the squeeze test, if you think you may have a problem with your pipes, call Abacus Plumbing to check them professionally.
