Whole house repiping is the complete replacement of a home's water supply lines. Instead of patching individual leaks in failing pipes, a repipe replaces the entire supply system with new PEX or copper piping. It permanently resolves recurring pinhole leaks, low water pressure, and discolored water caused by aging or defective pipe materials such as polybutylene and galvanized steel.

The most common signs are recurring pinhole leaks, rusty or discolored water, low or inconsistent water pressure, visible corrosion on exposed pipes, rising water bills, and slab leaks. If your home was built in Orlando and Central Florida between the 1970s and mid 1990s, there is a strong chance it contains polybutylene piping, and some insurers will decline or non-renew coverage until it is replaced. A Shamrock assessment will tell you exactly what is in your walls.

Most single-family home repipes are completed in a matter of days, depending on home size, number of bathrooms, and accessibility. Water service is typically only interrupted during working hours, and you can usually stay in your home for the entire project. We provide a clear schedule before work begins.

Cost depends on the size of the home, the number of fixtures and bathrooms, the pipe material you choose (PEX or copper), and accessibility. Shamrock provides transparent, upfront pricing, and flexible financing options are available to make the project manageable.

Both are proven materials, and Shamrock installs both. PEX is flexible, highly resistant to Orlando and Central Florida's chlorinated and mineral-heavy water, quieter, and typically less expensive to install. Copper is rigid and time-tested. We recommend the right material for your home's construction, water chemistry, and budget during your assessment.

Yes. A professional repipe includes planned, minimal access openings and patching those openings as part of the project scope, so your home is restored after the new piping passes inspection. We walk you through the full scope, including wall repair, before any work begins.
