How Does Repiping Work?

In short, repiping involves replacing old pipes with new ones. It is generally a solution for extensive leaks, corrosion, blockages, or plumbing damage that repairs simply cannot address. Additionally, it may be part of renovation or restoration projects. 

At Doke's Plumbing, Inc., the first thing we do for repiping projects is conduct an inspection. Our team assesses the condition of existing pipes to determine whether it is necessary. During inspections, we use advanced camera technologies and other tools to gather as much information as possible about a plumbing system. 

If we determine that repiping is the best solution for an old or outdated system, our skilled technicians can efficiently replace existing pipes. We only use high-quality materials from trusted manufacturers, such as Uponor. In situations that require it, we can even handle gas plumbing replacements.

How Long Does It Take? 

Your completion timeline will depend on the size of your home or commercial building and the job's complexity. Generally, a full repiping project can take anywhere from a few days to a couple of weeks. However, for smaller projects, it may be possible to complete the work in just a day or two. 

Repiping is a big endeavor that can disrupt daily routines and business operations. This is why if you turn to us for repiping in San Rafael, you can expect our team to work as efficiently as possible without compromising the quality of our solutions.
