Rocklin, CA Repiping Service

Older homes in the Rocklin area may have pipes made of galvanized steel, cast iron, clay, or even lead. These materials can corrode, crack, and, in some cases, leach dangerous contaminants into your drinking water. 

Some of the biggest warning signs you need our home repiping services include: 

• Discolored water

• Frequent sewage backups in showers and drains

• Frequently recurring leaks

• Pinhole leaks

• Persistent banging sounds

• Visible corrosion on the pipes  

• Low water pressure 

Certified Service Champions plumbers offer plumbing repairs along with replacement services in Rocklin and the Sacramento area. Our technicians are trained at our state-of-the-art Champions University, where they gain the skills required to diagnose your plumbing issues and provide the most effective solutions. 

The benefits of whole-house repiping by highly-trained Service Champions plumbers include: 

• Peace of mind: Whole-home repiping means you can rest assured there aren’t hidden leaks in the walls or aging plumbing ready to disintegrate. 

• Better water pressure: Corroding and clogged pipes impede the water flow. New plumbing gives you better water pressure throughout the house. 

• Better tasting, cleaner tap water: New pipes won’t leach rust, lead, and other contaminants into your drinking water.

• Lower long-term plumbing costs: When you don’t need to pay for frequent repairs, you save money.

• Increased property value: Buyers may be more likely to purchase a home at a higher price if the plumbing system is upgraded. 

When we replace pipes in the Sacramento Valley, plumbing options include copper and PEX. Copper repiping is durable, with an average lifespan of 50 to 70 years. It’s corrosion-resistant and has excellent temperature resistance, meaning the pipes are less likely to crack or burst during those below-freezing days. 

PEX repiping is a great choice for both hot- and cold-water plumbing. It’s BPA-free, durable, and cost-effective to install. PEX tubing has an average lifespan of 50 years and is also burst-resistant due to its flexible material. Speak to our highly-skilled plumbers to learn more about which type of pipe is best for your water, sewage, and gas lines.

Rocklin homeowners may experience poor water quality as their plumbing ages and degrades. Old pipes can release toxic heavy metals like lead or leach iron into the water, giving it a metallic taste. In some cases, bacteria can grow in sludge that forms inside unmaintained older plumbing, resulting in health concerns.

While the water in the area is at a safe, alkaline pH, it can still cause pinhole leaks, corrosion, and oxidation. In some cases, fast-moving water, especially when hot, can erode the interior of plumbing. Small holes in the pipes not only let water leak out, but they also allow dirt, pests, and other contaminants in. 

If the water quality in your older home is poor, it might be time for old pipe replacement. Contact Service Champions for professional repiping services near you.

Homes over 30 years old often require pipe corrosion repair or repiping due to aging pipes. Some common plumbing problems you may find in older homes include:

• Poor water pressure, especially when the toilet flushes.

• Recurring clogs due to disintegration, mineral scale, and debris buildup.

• Brown or rusty water, often with a metallic taste. 

• Water heater inefficiency, which can lead to frequent water heater repairs or premature failure.

• Hidden water damage, musty smells, and mold growth in the home due to undetected pinhole leaks in the walls, floors, and ceilings.

Scheduling regular maintenance and drain cleaning can help in the short term, but if your pipes have holes, corrosion, and internal wear, it may be time to speak to our local plumbing repipe specialists.

During a repiping project, plumbing crews remove pipes from inside the walls, under the floor, and in the ceiling, and then replace them with high-quality, new PEX or copper pipes. Water is turned off while they work, and it can get noisy and dusty, with access holes cut into various parts of your home. 

Service Champions plumbers work efficiently, keeping your inconvenience to a minimum while they complete the job. Once the new pipes are in place, we test the entire plumbing system to ensure it passes pressure tests and is installed correctly.

Repiping should only be done by a professional plumber. It’s a major job that must be performed to code to ensure structural integrity, safety, and efficient flow. Plumbing pipe upgrades can take anywhere from a few days to a week or more, depending on the complexity of your home’s plumbing.

Water pipe replacement and new drain installation services improve the overall efficiency of your home’s water system. New pipes aren’t coated in years of mineral scale and other internal buildup, allowing your water to flow as it should, without leaks. New pipe installation can improve your quality of life by providing stronger hot-water pressure and more efficient appliance operation.
