House Repiping: When and Why Your Home Needs It
Pipes are the backbone of your plumbing system. Over time, however, they wear down, corrode, and cause costly leaks or water quality issues. If your home still relies on outdated plumbing, a whole-house repiping project could be the smartest investment you make. At Ascension Construction Group, we specialize in professional repiping services across Indiana, helping homeowners restore safety, efficiency, and peace of mind.
What Is House Repiping?
House repiping means replacing the old water supply pipes throughout your home with new, durable materials. Instead of patching leaks here and there, repiping provides a complete and permanent solution, ensuring your plumbing works reliably for decades to come.
Signs You May Need to RepipeIt’s not always obvious when your home needs repiping, but common warning signs include:
Frequent leaks or water damage in walls and ceilings.
Rust-colored water coming from faucets.
Low water pressure throughout the house.
Pipes that are 40+ years old (especially galvanized steel or polybutylene).
Strange odors or bad-tasting water.
Sudden bursts or pipe failures.
If you’re constantly repairing leaks, it may be more cost-effective to replace the entire system.
