New Jersey Repiping Services
Repiping replaces the aging pipe system inside a home or building instead of patching it one leak at a time. When galvanized lines rust shut, copper develops pinholes, or polybutylene starts to fail, each repair only buys time until the next section gives out. Our repiping services cover whole house repiping and targeted runs for homes and businesses. Below, you'll find the warning signs, what causes pipes to fail, how a repipe is done, and how long it takes.
24/7 Emergency Repiping Services
A burst supply line, water coming through a ceiling, or a leak you can’t shut off is an emergency. So is a drain or sewer line backing up into the building. Every hour of delay lets water reach framing, drywall, and flooring, and the damage grows with it.
Our first job is to stop the water and stabilize the system. We isolate the failed section, restore service where we can, and protect the property.
The decision to repipe comes after that, once we’ve evaluated the rest of the system and know whether the failure is isolated or a sign of wider wear. If water is going where it shouldn’t, call (908) 595-1597 now.

Whole house repiping replaces every supply line in the home, from where the water line enters the building to each fixture. A partial repipe replaces one zone or run, such as a corroded branch or a kitchen and bath wing, when the rest of the system tests sound.
Most repiping work is on the water supply side, where old galvanized, polybutylene, or failing copper is replaced with PEX or copper. Repiping also applies to drain and sewer lines. Cast iron drains that have corroded from the inside and sewer lines that have cracked or separated are replaced on that side of the system, often with methods that avoid opening walls or yards.
Repiping is not the answer for a single leak in an otherwise healthy system. It’s the answer when the pipe material itself has reached the end of its life.
Stopping a leak does not confirm the condition of the pipe around it. On the supply side, we pressure test and inspect the system before recommending a repipe. On the drain and sewer side, a sewer scope inspection for homes, or a CCTV sewer inspection for commercial buildings, shows the condition of the pipe before any replacement is planned.
Signs You Need Repiping Services
- Pinhole leaks that keep returning in different spots
- Rusty, brown, or discolored water, especially first thing in the morning
- Low water pressure at several fixtures at once
- Repeat burst pipes, or clamps and patches on more than one line
- Original galvanized steel supply pipe still in service
- Gray polybutylene pipe, common in homes built from the late 1970s to the mid-1990s
- Water stains on ceilings or walls with no clear source
- Slow drains throughout the house or recurring sewer odors, which can point to corroded cast iron or a structurally damaged sewer line

How Arrow Performs Repiping Services
Assessment. We walk the property, identify the pipe materials, map how the lines run, and go over the history of leaks, pressure, and water quality.
Diagnostics. We pressure test the supply side and inspect exposed lines to evaluate structural integrity. If drains or the sewer line are part of the problem, a sewer camera inspection shows their condition and tells us whether trenchless pipe repair or sewer repair is necessary. You get the findings and options before any work begins.
Service execution. We protect floors and furnishings, open only the access points we need, and install new PEX or copper. PEX is flexible, needs fewer fittings, and tolerates freezing better than rigid pipe. Copper is a long-proven rigid option. In slab homes, new lines can often be routed through walls and the attic instead of breaking the slab. Most whole house repipes take [X to Y days], depending on the size of the home, the number of fixtures, and access. On the sewer side, repairs follow a set order: trenchless pipe lining first, then trenchless pipe replacement, then sewer repair or sewer line replacement, with excavation or hydro excavation only when the pipe can’t be reached any other way.
Verification. We pressure test the new system, check every fixture for flow and leaks, and confirm the system holds before access points are closed.
Cleanup. We close access points, clean the work area, and walk you through what was replaced.
What Are the Benefits of Repiping Services?
Steady water pressure at every fixture
Clean, clear water without rust or sediment
An end to repeat leak calls and patch repairs
Lower risk of water damage from a burst pipe
Stronger resale value and fewer plumbing findings on a home inspection
A pressure-tested system with its integrity confirmed from end to end
What Causes These Problems?
Pipes fail because of what they’re made of and what they carry. Galvanized steel corrodes from the inside, and scale buildup narrows the pipe until pressure drops and rust reaches the faucet. Copper can develop pinholes from water chemistry and flow, and once pinholes start, they rarely stop at one. Polybutylene breaks down with age and chlorine exposure, then cracks without much warning.
On the drain and sewer side, cast iron corrodes and cracks, joints separate into offsets, and root intrusion enters through joints in older clay and cast iron lines. Sections weakened long enough can collapse.
Older housing stock, freeze-thaw winters, and settling soil add stress to all of it. Most of these conditions sit inside walls, under slabs, or underground, so identifying them takes a proper evaluation rather than a guess.

Repiping Costs and Financing
The cost of a repipe depends on the size of the home, the number of fixtures, and how the lines are reached, not on the leak that prompted the call. One planned repipe replaces an open-ended run of pinhole repairs, burst sections, and the water damage that comes with them.
Financing options are available so the repipe can be scheduled when the pressure test says it is needed rather than after the next leak.

Frequently Asked Questions About Repiping Services
How long does it take to repipe a house?
Most whole house repipes take [X to Y days]. The size of the home, the number of fixtures, PEX or copper, and whether the house sits on a slab or a basement all change the timeline. You get a schedule after the assessment.
How much does it cost to repipe a house?
Cost depends on the home’s size, the number of fixtures, the pipe material, and how easy the lines are to reach. A full repipe usually costs less over time than years of repeat leak repairs and water damage. We provide a written estimate after the assessment.
Should I repipe with PEX or copper?
Both are reliable. PEX is flexible, faster to install, and holds up well in cold spaces. Copper is rigid and long-lasting. We recommend the material that fits your home’s layout, water conditions, and budget.
Does homeowners insurance cover repiping?
Policies vary. Coverage often applies to sudden water damage rather than replacing pipes that wore out with age. Review your policy with your insurer, and we can document the condition of your pipes for your records.
Does stopping a leak mean the pipe is fully repaired?
No. Stopping a leak fixes one spot. A pressure test, and on the drain side a sewer scope inspection, shows whether the rest of the pipe is sound or whether repiping is the better long-term correction.
When is trenchless pipe repair recommended instead of sewer line replacement?
When a sewer line still holds its shape and alignment, trenchless pipe lining or trenchless pipe replacement can restore it without a trench. Collapsed, badly offset, or sagging lines usually need sewer repair or sewer line replacement.
When is residential excavation necessary?
Excavation is used when a pipe has collapsed, is too damaged for trenchless methods, or a new connection has to be made at a specific point. We use excavation or hydro excavation only when no less invasive option will work.
