Whole Home Repiping in Canton and Ball Ground, GA

Polybutylene, galvanized steel and failing copper replaced with PEX or copper, in a planned job with new shutoffs at every fixture. No service call fee, a flat rate quote in writing, and a real person on the phone 24 hours a day.

When the pipes have reached their age, stop patching them

Every pipe material has a lifespan, and the houses built across Cherokee County in the 1970s, 80s and 90s are reaching it at the same time. Whole home repiping replaces the water supply lines inside the house, from the main shutoff to every fixture, with modern PEX or copper, in a planned job instead of a series of emergencies. Performance Plumbing has repiped homes across Canton, Woodstock, Holly Springs and Ball Ground since 2015. We look at the whole system, tell you honestly whether you need a repair or a repipe, and quote it flat rate in writing with no service call fee for the visit.

What we do

  • Whole home repiping of the hot and cold supply lines, in PEX or copper, with new shutoff valves at every fixture.
  • Partial repiping when one wing of the house or one material has failed and the rest is sound.
  • Polybutylene replacement, the grey plastic pipe from the late 1970s to mid 1990s that fails at the fittings.
  • Galvanized steel replacement in older homes where the pipe has rusted shut and pressure has faded.
  • Copper repiping where pitted copper has started leaking under slabs or in walls.
  • Drain line replacement inside the house when cast iron has rusted through.
  • Burst and frozen pipe repair when it is one break, not a system at the end of its life.

The signs a house needs repiping

  • More than one leak in the last couple of years, in different places.
  • Discolored or rusty water, especially first thing in the morning or after a trip.
  • Low water pressure at every fixture that a new pressure reducing valve did not fix.
  • Grey plastic (polybutylene) or rusty steel pipe visible at the water heater, under sinks or in the crawl space.
  • A home built between 1975 and 1995 that still has its original plumbing.
  • Water that tastes or smells metallic.
  • A slab leak, a pinhole in copper, or a burst line that the plumber describes as “the first of many.”

Repair or repipe

A single burst pipe from a freeze, one bad fitting, or a pinhole in copper that is otherwise sound is a repair, and we treat it that way. A repipe is the right spend when the material itself has failed: polybutylene, galvanized steel past fifty years, or copper that has pitted in more than one place. The honest test is simple. If this is the second or third leak in the same material, the next one is already forming, and every repair after that is money spent on a system you will replace anyway. We show you the pipe we pulled out and the reasoning, then you decide.

PEX or copper

Most repipes in Cherokee County today are PEX: flexible, fewer joints, no corrosion, quieter, better in a freeze, and faster to install with less wall opened. Copper is still the right choice in some situations, exposed runs, certain code requirements, or a homeowner who wants it, and we install both. Either way the job includes new shutoff valves at every fixture and a new main shutoff, so the next small problem does not require shutting off the whole house.

What a repipe actually looks like

A planned repipe on a typical Cherokee County home runs two to four days. We map the existing system, open the walls and ceilings only where the new lines need to pass, run the new supply lines, connect every fixture, pressure test the whole system, and patch the openings. Water is on each night. The drywall patches are ready for your painter or ours. You see the plan, the openings and the timeline before the first cut, and the quote is flat rate with nothing added later.

What repiping costs, and why we do not print a number

What moves the quote: the number of fixtures and bathrooms, how the house is built (slab, basement or crawl space changes how lines are run), whether it is a full or partial repipe, PEX or copper, how much wall has to be opened and patched, and the permit and inspection the county requires. We walk the house, map it, and give you one flat rate quote with nothing added later. There is no service call fee for the visit, and financing options are available.

Where we repipe homes

Repiping questions, answered

How do I know if my house has polybutylene?

Look at the pipe coming into the water heater or under a sink. Polybutylene is grey, sometimes blue or black, flexible plastic, usually stamped “PB2110.” Homes built from the late 1970s to the mid 1990s are the ones to check. If you are not sure, we can tell you on a free visit.

How long does it take to repipe a house?

Two to four days for most Cherokee County homes, depending on fixtures, construction and PEX versus copper. Water is back on each night. Drywall patching adds a day or two if we handle it.

Do you have to open all the walls?

No. We open the walls and ceilings where the new lines need to pass and at the fixtures, patch them, and leave them ready for paint. PEX needs fewer openings than copper because it bends around corners.

Is PEX better than copper?

For most homes, yes: no corrosion, fewer joints, quieter, more freeze tolerant and faster to install. Copper still fits some situations and we install it when it is the right call.

Can I repipe just part of the house?

Yes, when one material or one section has failed and the rest is sound. We will tell you honestly whether a partial repipe makes sense or just delays the full one.

Do you charge a service call fee for a repipe estimate?

No. We walk the house, map the system, and give you a flat rate quote before any work starts. If you decide to hold off, you owe us nothing.

Will repiping fix my low water pressure?

If the cause is galvanized steel rusted shut or undersized old lines, yes, dramatically. If the cause is the pressure reducing valve or the main water line from the street, we fix that instead; see water line repair.

Does repiping include the drain lines?

A standard repipe is the water supply lines. Drain lines are a separate job and only needed when cast iron has rusted through. We check both and quote what the house actually needs.

Do you offer financing for repiping?

Yes. Financing options are available on repipes. Ask when you call, or see our financing page.

Which areas do you cover?

All of Cherokee County, including Ball Ground, Canton, Holly Springs, Hickory Flat, Woodstock and Waleska, plus Jasper and Big Canoe in Pickens County and the Cumming area in Forsyth County.
