When the plumbing in your home starts to show signs of age, one of the most important upgrades you can make is repiping. Alpha Plumbing provides full piping and repiping services for residential properties across Lexington.
Whether you’re dealing with leaks, low water pressure, or outdated materials, our team can replace your entire system with reliable, modern piping that’s built to last.
Most customers don’t think about their piping system until something starts going wrong. If you’re noticing rusty water, frequent leaks, inconsistent water pressure, or strange odors, your pipes may be past their prime. Homes built more than 30 to 40 years ago are especially vulnerable to corrosion and mineral buildup. These issues don’t fix themselves, and patchwork repairs only go so far.
We’ll perform a thorough inspection to assess the age, material, and condition of your plumbing system. If the problems are isolated, we’ll recommend a targeted fix. But if you’re facing ongoing water quality issues or recurring failures, a full repipe is often the smarter long-term investment.
When we repipe a home, we use high-quality PEX or copper piping depending on the needs of the property. PEX is flexible, resists scale buildup, and performs well in extreme temperatures. Copper is durable and time-tested, often preferred in homes where the water supply is highly chlorinated or where grounding for electrical systems is a factor.
Unlike older galvanized or polybutylene pipes that are prone to rust, cracking, or failure, these modern materials offer a much longer service life and require far less maintenance. We’ll walk you through the pros and cons of each material and make sure your new system matches the demands of your home and lifestyle.
One of the first things customers notice after repiping is better water pressure. Old pipes often have internal buildup that restricts flow. Once those are replaced, water moves more freely throughout the home. You’ll also see improvements in water clarity and temperature consistency, especially if your current pipes are corroded or mismatched in size.
Modern piping systems are also more efficient, which helps reduce the strain on your water heater and fixtures. That means fewer problems down the line and less money spent on emergency repairs.
We know repiping sounds like a major project, but our team makes it as smooth and minimally invasive as possible. We start by mapping out the most efficient route for your new system. Then we isolate sections of the home so we can work in phases, keeping water service available for most of the project. We take care to protect your floors and walls, clean up thoroughly after each day, and communicate clearly about the timeline.
When we’re done, your new piping system will be clean, up to code, and backed by our workmanship guarantee. We handle all required permits and inspections, so you don’t have to worry about a thing.
