Why La Jolla Homes Need Repiping

Many La Jolla homes were built between the 1960s and 1990s. The pipes in these homes, galvanized steel, aging copper, or original polybutylene, are reaching the end of their useful life. Coastal salt air accelerates corrosion on metal pipes. Hard San Diego water deposits mineral scale that narrows pipe interiors over time. The result is reduced water pressure, discolored water, recurring leaks, and higher water bills.

A whole-house repipe in La Jolla is not a luxury, it is a practical investment that protects your property, improves water quality, and eliminates the cycle of spot repairs that never fully solve the underlying problem.

Signs Your La Jolla Home Needs a Repipe

These warning signs indicate your pipe system needs replacement, not another patch repair.

Low water pressure throughout the house

mineral buildup and interior pipe corrosion reduce flow in older supply lines.

Discolored or rust-tinted water

brown or yellow water signals corroding galvanized or copper pipes.

Recurring leaks or pinhole leaks

if you’ve had more than one leak repair in two years, pipe-wide corrosion is likely the cause.

Sudden spike in your water bill

hidden leaks inside walls or slabs waste hundreds of gallons daily.

Pipes older than 30 years

galvanized steel pipes typically fail within 20–50 years; copper and polybutylene have similar timelines in coastal environments.

Visible corrosion or green staining

green mineral deposits on exposed copper indicate active oxidation.

Our La Jolla Repipe Process

We follow a proven, multi-step process on every repipe job. You know exactly what happens each day — no surprises.

Free On-Site Inspection

We walk your home, assess your current pipe condition, map fixture locations, and determine the fastest, most efficient pipe routing for hot water delivery.

Planning & Material Selection

We finalize the pipe route, confirm your material choice (copper or PEX), pull the required City of San Diego permit, and schedule the job at your convenience.

Installation — With Floors & Furniture Protected

We lay protective sheeting throughout the work area, make precise wall openings per fixture, route and connect all new supply lines, and install new angle valves, supply lines, PRV, hose bibs, laundry and ice maker connections.

Old Pipe Removal & Pressure Testing

We cut out your old corroded pipes after the new system is in place, then pressure-test the entire system and perform a second check 12 hours later to confirm zero leaks.

Final Cleanup

We close every wall opening, apply plaster, and match your existing wall finish. Before we leave each workday, you have at least one toilet, one sink, and one shower fully operational.

Copper vs. PEX: Which Is Right for Your Home?

Both copper and PEX are proven, code-approved materials used in San Diego County. The right choice depends on your home, your budget, and your long-term goals. Here is a direct comparison.

Copper Repiping

→ Lifespan — 50+ years
→ Cost — Higher upfront
→ Installation speed — Moderate (2–4 days)
→ UV & rodent resistance — Excellent
→ Corrosion resistance — Good in neutral pH water
→ Home resale value — Strong signal to buyers
→ Best fit — Premium homes, long-term owners

PEX Repiping

→ Lifespan — 25+ years
→ Cost — 20–30% less than copper
→ Installation speed — Faster (1–3 days)
→ UV & rodent resistance — Vulnerable — not for exposed runs
→ Corrosion resistance — Excellent — no corrosion
→ Home resale value — Accepted widely
→ Best fit — Cost-conscious projects, flexible routing
