Whole-House Repiping in Midland, TX
Low pressure, rusty water, repeated leaks — sometimes the pipes themselves are the problem. We replace failing systems end-to-end with modern PEX or copper, most homes done in one to two days.
Is your house ready for a repipe?
Midland has building waves that match the oil cycle. The skyline boom of the late 1970s and 1980s filled neighborhoods with homes now forty-plus years old — many plumbed with galvanized steel or early plastic piping that's well past its design life. The more recent boom put up thousands more homes in the 2010s, fast. If your place came out of either wave, here's what we see in the field:
- Galvanized steel — corrodes from the inside; pressure drops and rust show up at fixtures first
- Polybutylene ("poly-b") — the gray plastic pipe common in 80s–90s builds; it gets brittle and fails without warning, and insurers often won't cover it
- Thin-wall copper with pinholes — especially where aggressive water and soil movement team up
- Questionable boom-era workmanship — poorly bedded lines, tight bends, and shortcuts that show up decades later as recurring leaks
Symptoms that point to repiping
- Water pressure that keeps getting worse over the years
- Rust-colored or metallic-tasting water, especially first thing in the morning
- Two or more leaks in the last few years — repairs are getting familiar
- Discolored water at some fixtures but not others
- Home inspector or insurer flagged the plumbing on a report
What a repipe looks like here
Most Midland homes are slab-on-grade, so we typically abandon the failing under-slab lines and route new PEX through walls and attic — with a manifold setup that gives every fixture its own dedicated run. That means shutoffs per fixture, better pressure balance, and no more mystery leaks under the concrete. We patch our access holes, protect your floors, and most families stay in the house while we work.
- PEX-A — our default; flexible, freeze-tolerant, and fast to install, with a 25-year manufacturer warranty on qualifying systems
- Type L copper — available where you want it or code requires it; the traditional answer to aggressive water when paired with dielectric unions and proper bedding
- Manifold or home-run layouts — shutoffs per fixture, no hidden joints under the slab
What it costs — and what it saves
Every house is different, so we quote after a walkthrough, not over the phone. What we can tell you up front: a repipe ends the cycle of leak-repair bills, restores pressure, fixes water discoloration, makes insurers happier, and is a genuine selling point when the market turns. Pair it with a softener and the new system will outlast the old one dramatically in this water.
