PEX or copper? It’s the first question in every Manor repipe consultation, and both are excellent answers. PEX — flexible plastic tubing — resists scale and freeze damage, installs with fewer joints, and costs less. Copper is the traditional premium: rigid, proven, and familiar to every inspector.
We install both, quote both, and let you choose with real numbers instead of sales pressure. The right material depends on your water, your budget, and your plans for the house. Talk it through at (833) 834-1087.
How whole-home repiping works
Pressure regulation is part of every repipe we do in Manor, because new pipe deserves correct pressure. Municipal pressure that runs high stresses fixtures, valves, and water heaters; a regulator at the entry holds the house at a safe, consistent level, and an expansion tank handles thermal expansion on the water heater.
We test static pressure before quoting — if it’s high, the regulator goes in the quote as a line item, not a surprise. It’s a small addition that protects everything downstream of the new pipe, and skipping it would be doing half the job.
Signs you need whole-home repiping in Manor
Your home is ready for repiping when you see:
- Galvanized pipe with rust bleeding through at joints.
- Rusty or discolored water from taps, especially first thing in the morning.
- Pinhole leaks springing up repeatedly.
- Pinhole leaks multiplying across copper in a hard-water home.
What is included
Every repipe we do in Manor includes these elements:
- Strategic access openings kept to a minimum
- Pressure testing of every run before close-up
- Clean drywall patching to paint-ready condition
- Permit handling and inspection coordination
- Full walkthrough and labeled valve map on completion
- Complete replacement of hot and cold supply lines
Austin-Central Texas: how local conditions shape whole-home repiping
The Austin-Central Texas writes the repipe schedule for Manor. These are the local forces aging the pipe:
PEX is the natural repipe material here: flexible enough to route through rocky-soil homes without the trenching rigid pipe demands, immune to the pinhole corrosion killing copper, and forgiving of the pressure swings common in growing municipal systems. Manifold layouts add the bonus of fast hot-water delivery in larger homes.
What affects the cost of whole-home repiping in Manor
Repipe pricing is driven by house size, pipe material, and access. More bathrooms and longer runs mean more pipe and more labor; copper costs more in material than PEX; and a home with open attic and crawl space access repipes faster than one where every line must thread finished walls.
What’s included matters when comparing quotes: valves at every fixture, pressure regulation, patching to paint-ready, permits, and pressure testing should all be in the number. A quote missing those isn’t cheaper — it’s incomplete. Ours is itemized so you see every component.
Common questions
Will I have water during the repipe?
Yes — we work in zones and restore water each evening. You will have full water for nights and mornings throughout the project.
How do I know my home needs repiping?
Multiplying pinhole leaks, house-wide pressure drop, discolored water, and pipe decades old and never replaced. If patching has become a routine, the system is telling you.
Does repiping include the sewer line?
No — repiping covers the pressurized supply lines. The drain and sewer system is separate; we camera it during evaluation and will tell you honestly if it needs attention too.
Will a repipe fix my low water pressure?
If the cause is corroded, narrowed supply pipe — the most common cause in older homes — yes, dramatically. We verify the cause during evaluation so you are not buying a fix for the wrong problem.
Should I add a softener with my repipe?
Strongly consider it — new pipe in untreated hard water inherits the same enemy. Treatment protects the repipe investment from its first day.
How do I know my pinholes mean repipe, not repair?
Pattern and frequency: scattered pinholes across the system, or the third leak in a year, means the pipe is failing everywhere. One isolated leak is a repair; a pattern is a repipe.

Emergency Plumbing
Emergency plumbing is immediate response to water damage in progress — burst pipes, major leaks, sewage backups, and total water loss. You reach a live dispatcher who triages the situation on the call and routes a stocked truck immediately, so the water stops as fast as possible.
Water Heater Installation & Repair
A water heater supplies hot water to every faucet, shower, and appliance in your home — tank models store it, tankless models heat it on demand. We repair failed burners, thermostats, and heating elements, and size replacements to your household’s actual hot-water demand so the showers stay hot.
Drain Cleaning
Drain cleaning removes the blockages that slow or stop wastewater flow — grease, soap, hair, scale, and root intrusion. We match the tool to the clog: drain snakes for branch lines, inspection cameras for diagnosis, and hydro jetting to scour the pipe wall on main-line stoppages.
Leak & Slab Detection
Leak detection finds hidden water leaks inside walls, ceilings, or under the slab without demolition. We use acoustic listening and inspection cameras to pinpoint the leak, then recommend the least invasive permanent fix — a spot repair, a reroute, or a repipe.
Sewer Line Services
A sewer line carries all wastewater from your home to the city main, so a failure here backs up every drain at once. We inspect with an HD camera first, then clear root intrusion or repair damaged sections — replacing the line only when the pipe itself is truly done.
Gas Line Services
Gas lines feed stoves, water heaters, dryers, and grills — and any work on them has to be exact. We repair damaged sections, extend lines for new appliances, and set new appliance hookups, pressure-testing every joint before the job is signed off.
Water Treatment & Filtration
Water treatment conditions your supply water so mineral hardness and contaminants stop damaging fixtures, appliances, and the water heater. We test your water first, then install whole-home softeners and filtration matched to what the test shows.
