Every supply line in the house
Whole-house repiping covers every supply line from end to end. What that means for your home is a question for the plumber you hire.
Repiping and Water Line Replacement in Chandler
Repeated leaks in one house, or a water line that needs replacing, are reasons to talk about repiping. Call us and describe what you have seen, and you get a free estimate.
A whole-house repipe, a partial one or a new water service line are all within reach, with the work done by the plumber you hire.
How much pipe to replace
One part of the house
A single bathroom, a kitchen or one run of pipe can be replaced without repiping the whole house. Tell us where the trouble is, and the plumber you hire says whether a smaller job fits.
The water service line
The water service line is the run of pipe that feeds your house from the meter. A leak or failure along it is worth reporting on the phone, and the plumber you hire pinpoints where it fails.
What the city has found on service lines
The City of Chandler has not identified a lead service line. About 27,604 lines between the meter box and the home needed checking, and a little over 24,000 are confirmed non-lead.
City contractors have been checking the rest in the field and leave a door hanger with the result. Lead used to be allowed in the past, but Arizona banned it in 1988.
Pipe changes need a permit
The city’s homeowner manual lists adding, altering, replacing or relocating water supply, sewer, drainage, gas, waste or vent piping as work that is never an ordinary repair, which makes a repipe permit work.
The manual treats a same-type swap as ordinary and anything that moves or replaces piping as permit work, so ask the city before a job grows.
Agree on who applies for the permit
Before work starts, put in writing which of you applies for the permit. The state’s contractor office says permits are the owner’s responsibility, though the contract can include the cost of obtaining them and the fees.
Frequently asked questions
Is it worth checking a contractor’s license before a repipe?
Yes. An owner-occupant harmed by a licensed residential contractor may be eligible for the state’s Residential Contractors’ Recovery Fund, while hiring an unlicensed business gives no recourse through the Registrar of Contractors. A complaint about a licensed contractor’s work can be filed within two years of the last work.
