Avoid expensive slab breaking and minimize home disruption with expert pipe rerouting. Our licensed San Diego plumbers bypass damaged pipes using proven techniques that save time and money.

What Is Pipe Rerouting?

Pipe rerouting creates new water supply paths around damaged or inaccessible pipes. This process bypasses problem areas without breaking through concrete slabs, foundations, or walls. Our San Diego plumbers install new copper or PEX pipes through accessible routes like attics, walls, or crawl spaces.

Rerouting solves pipe problems permanently while avoiding the high costs and disruption of traditional repair methods. Instead of jackhammering through your foundation to fix a slab leak, we create a new pipe route that eliminates the damaged section completely.
