Expert Copper Repiping Services in San Diego

San Diego homes built before 1990 often have aging copper pipes that need replacement. Our family-owned company specializes in Type L copper repiping, providing San Diego homeowners with premium plumbing solutions that last 50+ years.

Unlike thin-walled Type M copper found in older homes, we exclusively install Type L copper pipes. These thicker-walled pipes resist corrosion better and handle San Diego’s water pressure variations more effectively.

Our team combines traditional craftsmanship with modern techniques. We understand San Diego’s unique plumbing challenges, from hard water issues to seismic considerations. Every copper repipe includes new angle valves, pressure regulation, and complete system testing
