When Do You Need Repiping?

Most homeowners don't think about their pipes until something goes wrong. These are the signs that your home may need partial or full repiping:

Discolored or rust-colored water from any tap
Low water pressure throughout the house (not just one fixture)
Frequent pipe leaks, even after repairs
Pipes over 50 years old (likely galvanized steel)
Polybutylene pipes installed during the 1978–1995 era (gray plastic supply lines)
Metallic taste in the water

Galvanized Pipe Problems in Older Abbeville Homes

Galvanized steel pipes corrode from the inside out, gradually restricting water flow and leaching rust into your water supply. Many homes in Abbeville's historic district and surrounding Abbeville County built before 1970 still have original galvanized supply lines that are long past their useful lifespan. Replacing galvanized pipes with cross-linked PEX tubing solves the corrosion problem permanently — PEX is resistant to scale buildup, freezing, and chemical corrosion, and carries a 25-year warranty in most installations.

Whole-Home Repiping Process

Eric Callaway follows a structured process to minimize disruption to your home:

Inspection and assessment — evaluate pipe material, condition, layout, and access points
Water shutoff and drain — all supply lines flushed and depressurized
Access points opened — minimal wall openings at key junction points
New PEX lines run — flexible tubing routed through walls and ceilings using existing access where possible
Connections made — manifold system or traditional layout depending on home configuration
Pressure test — full system tested to 100 PSI before walls are closed
Water restored — system flushed and verified before job is complete

Most whole-home repipes in Abbeville-area homes are completed in 1–2 days.
