PEX Repiping in San Antonio, TX

PEX is the most common material for whole house repiping today. It is flexible cross linked polyethylene, it snakes through walls with fewer openings than rigid pipe, and it does not pit or scale the way copper and steel do.

SPB Hydro Plumbing connects San Antonio, TX homeowners with plumbers who repipe in PEX. Two systems are common. PEX-A uses expansion fittings under ASTM F1960, where the pipe shrinks back over the fitting. PEX-B uses crimp or clamp rings under ASTM F1807. Both are approved by the major plumbing codes.

Layout matters as much as pipe. A home run manifold gives each fixture its own line and shutoff. A trunk and branch layout uses less pipe. The plumber picks based on how many bathrooms you have and where the water heater sits.

PEX should not sit in direct sunlight or touch a water heater flue, so the first 18 inches at most heaters is metal. Call SPB Hydro Plumbing at (866) 335-0301 for a PEX repiping plan.

    The plumber checks the pipe material, the run length and the shutoff, then lays out trench, trenchless or repipe options.

Water line replacement FAQs

Questions about water line replacement and whole house repiping

Questions we hear most often about PEX Repiping in San Antonio, TX.

Talk to a person
How long does a whole house repipe take?
Most occupied homes take two to five days, depending on size, number of bathrooms and access. Water is usually restored at the end of each work day.
How can I tell if I have polybutylene pipe?
Polybutylene is flexible gray or blue plastic, often stamped PB2110, found in many homes built from about 1978 to 1995. Check near the water heater, under sinks and where the main enters the house.
Will my walls be torn up during a repipe in San Antonio, TX?
No. Plumbers cut small access holes where pipes turn or connect, then patch, tape, mud and texture them. Closets and cabinet backs are used where possible.
Why is my water pressure low only in some rooms?
When pressure is fine at the hose bib but weak upstairs or at one fixture, rust scale inside galvanized pipe is the usual cause. A gauge test and a check of the pressure reducing valve come first.
What causes pinhole leaks in copper pipe?
Pinholes usually come from pitting corrosion caused by water chemistry, such as low pH or high chlorine or chloramine, or by high flow speed in small pipe. Repeat pinholes mean the whole run is thinning.
