Whole-Home Repiping

If your home still runs on original galvanized or aging copper lines, you're not fixing leaks — you're scheduling them. A whole-home repipe replaces every water line in the house with new PEX or copper, ends the pinhole-leak cycle for good, and protects everything a slow leak quietly destroys: drywall, flooring, framing.

Signs Your Home Needs a Repipe

Repeated pinhole leaks. Rusty or discolored water at the tap. Pressure that drops when two fixtures run at once. Air sputtering in your water lines. Homes built before the 1970s on galvanized pipe are prime candidates, and much of Ventura County's housing stock is exactly that era.

Repiping by Gallegos Plumbing in Ventura County

PEX or Copper?

We install both and will quote both. PEX is flexible, freeze-tolerant, immune to the corrosion and scale that hard water inflicts on metal pipe, and faster to install — which keeps the price down. Copper remains the right call in specific situations, and we'll tell you honestly which your house is.

Done in About a Day, Walls Made Right

A dedicated repipe crew opens the walls, runs every new line, restores your water the same evening, and patches the drywall afterward. If a renovation is on the horizon anyway, sequencing the repipe with our remodel plumbing crew is even cleaner — the walls are already open. You get a flat, written price before work starts — and financing options for a project of this size.

Serving all of Ventura County and the Conejo Valley.

“Gallegos plumbing expertly performed a repipe, tank to tankless hot water heater conversion and relocation, and water softener install. The team that worked with me were very professional and it was clear they took great care and pride in the quality of work they did. I will be calling Gallegos plumbing again for any future plumbing projects I may have.” — Josh Peterson, Ventura

“5 Stars – Excellent Experience from Start to Finish We recently hired Gallegos Plumbing for a full repipe and water heater installation, and the experience was outstanding from start to finish. Jordan Gobbell, our initial technician, set the tone. He was patient, knowledgeable, and never pushy. He really listened to our needs, explained our options clearly, and gave us the time to make an informed decision — which made us feel confident moving forward. Anthony handled the water heater installation and did an excellent job. He worked quickly and efficiently, and the finished work was spotless. The repipe crew — Fernando, Diego, and Noe — were just as impressive. They repiped our entire house in two days, using high-quality materials and keeping everything clean and organized throughout the process. Of course, no job goes perfectly. During the repipe, our shower handle broke and a small section of drywall cracked. Gallegos immediately offered to make it right — they gave us a credit for the drywall and sent JR to fix the shower handle. JR not only fixed it but also went out of his way to resolve another issue we mentioned with our faucet hose we noticed after the repipe. Here’s my advice: do your homework, get at least three quotes, and make sure one of them is from Gallegos. In our experience, they treat customers fairly, do clean, professional work, use quality materials, and the pricing is fair. Highly recommend.” — Megan & Miguel Clemente, Ventura

“Fernando and his crew did an excellent job, everyone was courteous, professional, knowledgeable and very thorough. Thank you for finishing the repipe of our house sooner than expected” — Angel Barela, Ventura

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does a whole house repipe cost?

It depends on your home's size, number of fixtures, and access — every repipe is quoted flat and in writing before any work begins, and financing is available.

How long does a repipe take?

Most single-family homes are repiped in about a day, with water restored the same evening. Drywall patching follows once the new system has been pressure-tested.

Is PEX as good as copper?

For most homes, yes — PEX doesn't corrode, handles hard water and slab movement better than rigid pipe, and costs less to install. Copper still makes sense in certain applications, and we quote both so you can decide.

Why do I keep getting pinhole leaks?

Pinhole leaks are corrosion working through the pipe wall from the inside — a chemistry problem between your water and your pipes. Patching one spot doesn't stop the process; every section of that pipe is the same age. That's why repeated pinholes are the classic repipe signal.

Why is there air in my water lines?

Occasional sputtering after utility work is normal. Persistent air throughout the house can indicate failing pipe or a compromised line drawing air — worth a professional look before it becomes a leak.

Can you repipe a house without removing walls?

Mostly, yes. PEX is flexible enough to pull through attics, crawl spaces, and wall cavities, so we open small, targeted access points rather than stripping rooms — and we patch every one afterward. A repipe is far less invasive than most homeowners fear.

Is it worth it to repipe a house?

If you're on original galvanized pipe or chasing repeated pinhole leaks, almost always — every leak you patch is a symptom of pipe failing everywhere at once, and one flooded wall can cost more than the repipe. If you've had a single isolated leak on otherwise healthy copper, probably not — and we'll tell you that too.
