INTRODUCTION

If your home was built before 1980, you likely have Galvanized Steel pipes that are rusting from the inside out. If your home was built in the 1990s, you might have Copper pipes suffering from “pinhole leaks” due to Houston’s aggressive water chemistry.

You don’t have to live with low water pressure, rusty brown water, or the constant fear of a burst pipe. At Blackmon Plumbing, we specialize in the Whole-Home Repipe. We surgically remove the old, failing system and replace it with modern, flexible Uponor PEX-A piping—often in as little as 1 to 2 days.

Signs Your Home Needs a Repipe

Low Water Pressure

Rust scale builds up inside galvanized pipes, closing the diameter until it’s like drinking through a coffee stirrer.

Rusty/Discolored Water

Brown water when you first turn on the tap indicates active corrosion.

Multiple Leaks

If you have fixed three leaks in the last year, you don’t have bad luck; you have a failing system.

Temperature Shock

Someone flushes the toilet, and the shower turns scalding hot.

Why We Use Uponor PEX-A (The Freeze Fighter)

We exclusively install Uponor (Wirsbo) PEX-A. In the wake of the 2021 Houston Freeze, this is the only material we trust.

Expansion Memory: Unlike copper (which rips open when frozen) or CPVC (which shatters), PEX-A can expand up to 300% and return to its original shape. It is the most freeze-resilient pipe on the market.

Fewer Joints: PEX is flexible. We can snake it through your attic and down walls like an electrical wire, eliminating 90% of the elbow fittings where leaks usually happen.

Corrosion Proof: Plastic does not rust, pit, or scale.

The Repipe Process: "Surgical" Precision

Homeowners fear repiping because they imagine their house being gutted. That is not how we do it.

While We Are In the Walls (Smart Upgrades)

Since the walls are open, it is the perfect time to upgrade:

Water Heaters: Swap your old tank for a Tankless unit. We can run the larger gas line while the attic is accessible.

Shower Valves: Replace old, stiff shower handles with modern pressure-balancing valves.

Laundry Box: Install a recessed washer box with quick-shutoff valves.

COMMON QUESTIONS

Q: How long does it take?

A: An average 3-bedroom, 2-bath home takes 1 to 2 days for the plumbing work.

Q: Do you repair the drywall?

A: We are plumbers, not painters. However, we save the cutout pieces and can refer you to a trusted drywall specialist who comes in immediately after us to texture and paint.

Q: Why PEX instead of Copper?

A: Copper is 3x the price and prone to pinhole leaks from chloramines in Houston’s city water. PEX is cheaper, quieter, and lasts longer.

Q: Will I have water during the repipe?

A: Yes, for most of the project. We shut off your water for only a few hours on the final day when we make the final connections. You are rarely without water overnight.

Q: Does PEX work with Houston’s hard water?

A: Absolutely. Unlike copper and galvanized steel that corrode from Houston’s chloramines and mineral content, PEX is completely immune to scale buildup and chemical corrosion. It will never rust or develop pinhole leaks.
