Pinhole leak, low pressure, or rusty water from old pipe? We repair leaking interior pipes the same day — and replace failing galvanized and polybutylene systems with clean copper or PEX, most homes in 1–2 days, at an upfront price.
Repair is the right call for a single leak — a pinhole in a copper line, a leaking joint, or one corroded section in otherwise sound pipe. We fix it the same day.
Repiping makes more sense when the whole system is failing: recurring leaks, low pressure everywhere, rusty water, or a house still running on galvanized or polybutylene. Patching a failing system one spot at a time costs more over time than replacing it once.

Portland's housing stock is exactly the age where pipes fail. Pre-war homes in neighborhoods like Irvington, Ladd's Addition, Hawthorne, Sellwood-Moreland, the Alphabet District, Laurelhurst and St. Johns were plumbed with galvanized steel that corrodes shut from the inside — choking pressure and rusting the water. Many 1980s subdivisions in areas like Cully and outer East Portland got polybutylene, a gray plastic that turns brittle and cracks — a process the chlorine in Portland's Bull Run water only speeds up. If your home has either, it's living on borrowed time.
We pull out the pipe that fails and install the material that lasts:
| PEX | Copper | |
|---|---|---|
| Cost | 30–60% less | Higher |
| Install time | 1–2 days | 3–5 days |
| Corrosion | Immune | Can pinhole |
| Freeze tolerance | Better | Splits |
| Lifespan | 40–50+ yrs | 50+ yrs |
We install both and recommend the best fit for your home, water and budget.
We assess your pipes and fixtures and give a flat, upfront quote — free.
We run new copper or PEX with minimal, neat wall access — water off only briefly.
Every line is pressure- and fixture-tested, then permitted and inspected.
We patch the drywall, clean up daily, and leave you with clean, full-pressure water.
| Single pipe / pinhole leak repair | $200 – $800 |
| PEX whole-home repipe | $4,500 – $10,000 |
| Copper whole-home repipe | $8,000 – $16,000 |
Estimates for guidance; repipe price depends on home size, number of bathrooms, stories, material, access, and drywall restoration. We give a free, upfront quote and offer financing — and stay home, no need to move out.
Same-day repair for leaks and pinholes, or a clean 1–2 day whole-home repipe in copper or PEX — licensed, permitted, with a free estimate.
From the first call to a clean finish, our licensed Portland plumbers handle pipe repair with upfront, flat-rate pricing and no overtime fees — day, night, weekends and holidays.

A whole-home repipe typically runs about $4,500–$16,000 (average ~$8,000), depending on size, bathrooms, material (PEX vs copper) and access. A single pipe repair is far less. You get a free, upfront quote first.
Repair an isolated leak in sound pipe; repipe when you have recurring leaks, whole-house galvanized or polybutylene, low pressure throughout, or 40-plus-year-old pipe. Patching a failing system one spot at a time costs more long term.
PEX is flexible, corrosion-proof, freeze-tolerant, faster (1–2 days) and 30–60% cheaper. Copper lasts 50+ years and handles heat and exposed runs. We install both and recommend the best fit.
Rusty or discolored water (worst in the morning), pressure that keeps dropping, repeated leaks, gray polybutylene stamped PB2110, corrosion on copper, or a pre-war (galvanized) or 1980s (Poly-B) home.
Most PEX repipes are 1–2 days; larger or multi-story homes 3–5 days. We work zone by zone so water is off only briefly, and we patch the drywall when done.
No — you can stay home. We shut water off only for short windows while connecting each zone, restore it each evening, protect your floors and furnishings, and clean up daily.
Pre-war homes used galvanized steel that corrodes shut from the inside, and many 1980s homes have brittle polybutylene — accelerated by the chlorine in Portland's Bull Run water. Both are at end of life.
Yes — Portland requires a plumbing permit for a repipe. As a licensed Oregon contractor we pull the permit and schedule the inspection.
Usually — when those come from corroded, scaled galvanized lines, replacing them with smooth copper or PEX restores full flow and clean water throughout the house.
