Leaks that keep showing up in different places, corrosion, discolored water, pressure loss, or aging pipe such as galvanized steel or polybutylene can make repiping the whole house more practical than fixing one leak at a time.
When to request whole-home repiping
People usually call about leaks in more than one place, corrosion throughout the pipe, pressure that keeps dropping, or galvanized or polybutylene supply lines.
If water or sewage is spreading, call (850) 880-6797 now instead of sending a request. If you smell gas, leave the building and call 911 or the gas utility from outside first, then call Beach to Bayou.
What the service visit can cover
The technician starts with the current pipe, where the water comes in, the shutoffs, the number of fixtures, where new pipe can run, and where the old pipe has failed. The work is then scheduled in stages around access, patching, and whether people are living in the house.
The final scope depends on what the technician finds and what can be reached, and you hear the options before any work starts.
Planning for Emerald Coast properties
Slab foundations and multistory layouts change where new pipe can run, and rental bookings decide when the water can be shut off.
If the property is a rental, a second home, or an open business, include who can let the technician in and when.
What to include in your request
When you call or send a request, mention the age of the house, the pipe material if you know it, where it has leaked, any pressure problems, the number of bathrooms, whether people will be living there during the work, and any renovation already planned.
Before the visit, clear space around the water heater, the main shutoff, and any spots that have leaked, and put pets away.
What to expect
Whole-house check
The pipe material, routes, fixture count, and past leaks are looked at together.
Routing
New pipe runs along the easiest paths to keep wall and ceiling openings to a minimum.
Phased work
Water shutdowns are scheduled around the people living in the house.
New shutoffs
The main shutoff and fixture shutoffs can be replaced as part of the repipe.
