Stop Recurring Leaks with Full System Replacement
Repiping Services in Salt Lake City for homes with outdated plumbing causing recurring leaks and low water pressure
777 Contractors, LLC provides repiping services to homeowners in Salt Lake City whose older plumbing systems no longer deliver consistent water pressure or have begun leaking at multiple points throughout the house. When galvanized steel or polybutylene pipes reach the end of their useful life, patching individual leaks becomes a cycle that wastes time and money without addressing the underlying issue. You need a complete solution that replaces failing lines before they cause structural damage or interrupt your daily routines.
A whole house repipe removes outdated piping from the water main to every fixture in your home, replacing it with modern materials that resist corrosion and maintain steady flow for decades. This work involves identifying all active lines, planning access points that limit wall and ceiling openings, and installing new copper or PEX pipe throughout the structure. In Utah homes built before 1980, original pipes often show signs of internal scaling, pinhole leaks, or pressure drops that worsen over time, especially in areas where mineral content is higher.
If you notice discolored water, frequent leaks, or weak flow at multiple fixtures, a repipe evaluation can clarify whether repairs or replacement will serve you better in the long term.
Organized Project Planning Reduces Disruption and Uncertainty
You receive a clear project timeline before work begins, outlining each phase from access preparation to final testing and drywall restoration. The crew maps existing plumbing routes, identifies the most efficient paths for new lines, and schedules work in stages that allow you to maintain partial water service when possible. Wall cavities and ceiling access points are opened only where necessary, and protective sheeting is placed over floors and furnishings in work areas.
After installation, you will notice immediate improvements in water pressure at every tap, consistent temperature control in showers, and the absence of rattling or banging when fixtures are turned on or off. 777 Contractors, LLC tests all new lines under pressure, inspects connections for leaks, and ensures proper flow before closing walls and scheduling finish work. The system is flushed to remove debris, and you are walked through shut-off locations and maintenance recommendations specific to your new configuration.
Repiping does not include fixture replacement, tile repair, or exterior landscaping restoration, though coordination with other trades can be arranged. The scope of work is defined in writing, and any changes discovered during demolition are discussed before proceeding. Projects in two-story homes or properties with concrete slab foundations require additional planning to route lines through accessible spaces without compromising structural components.
What to Expect During a Whole House Repipe
Homeowners in Salt Lake City often ask how the process works and what they should prepare for before the crew arrives.
How long does a whole house repipe take?
Most single-family homes are completed in three to five days, depending on the number of fixtures, accessibility of existing lines, and whether the home has a basement or crawlspace that simplifies routing.
What material is used for the new pipes?
Copper and PEX are the most common choices, each selected based on your budget, local code requirements, and the specific demands of your system, including temperature ranges and water chemistry.
Will I have water during the project?
Water is typically shut off during active work hours, but the crew restores service at the end of each day so you can use sinks, toilets, and showers overnight.
What happens to the old pipes?
Old pipes are removed from accessible areas and capped or abandoned in place where removal would cause unnecessary structural damage, a standard practice in repiping projects.
Do you repair the walls and ceilings after access holes are cut?
Drywall patching and finishing are included in the scope, returning walls and ceilings to a smooth, paint-ready surface, though final painting is handled separately unless otherwise arranged.
777 Contractors, LLC works with licensed plumbers and follows Utah building codes to ensure every connection meets safety and performance standards. If your home has shown multiple plumbing failures or you are planning a renovation that exposes aging pipes, a repipe consultation provides a transparent evaluation and a fixed-price proposal with no obligation to proceed.
