Home Repipe Specialist in East Grand Rapids

Does my home need to be repiped?

Repiping a home is a big job that many homeowners put off. But there comes a time when it needs to be done. Below are a few telltale signs that it could be time to replace your home’s piping:

• Frequent leaks: If you keep having to patch up leaky pipes, it could be a sign that your home’s entire plumbing is failing. Repiping your home could help to prevent future leaks occurring. 
• Frequent clogs: Old galvanized pipes can also fur up, leading to frequent blockages. If you’ve already had to unclog several rusty pipes, repiping your home could be overdue. 
• Discolored water: When pipes get rusty, this rust can start to enter the water leading to discoloration. Don’t want to drink yellow or brown water? We don’t blame you! Repiping your home could fix this. 
• Low water pressure: There are many causes of low water pressure - one of which is leaks and blockages in old corroded pipes. Repiping your home could help to return your water pressure to normal.
• Strange tasting water: When rust enters water, it can give it a funky taste. Get your tap water tasting fresh again by replacing your pipes. 

Our local plumbing company has over 20 years of experience. We’ll be able to diagnose the cause of the issues above to assess whether your home needs to be completely repiped or if there is another problem that is the cause.

As a home repipe specialist in East Grand Rapids, we’ll help you choose the best new piping and install it properly so that you don’t have any more problems in the near future.

Copper or PEX piping?

Just what type of new piping should you choose for your home. We recommend either copper or PEX. 

Copper is the most traditional material and has a few benefits including:

• Durability 
• Heat resistance
• Superior strength

PEX is a more modern and popular material. It has some key advantages including:

• Lower cost
• Resistance to freezing
• Fast and easy installation

Still not sure which is the best suited material for your home? Don’t worry - by teaming up with a home repipe specialist in East Grand Rapids such as ourselves, you can help to make the right choice based on our recommendations. We’ll assess your needs and budget to help determine what is the best solution.

How much does it cost to repipe a home?

The cost of repiping a home can vary dramatically depending on how large your home is and how many different plumbing fixtures there are. Repiping a single room could cost as little as $1000, while repiping a large house with over four bedrooms could cost over $15,000. 

At Ferrer Plumbing, we can schedule a visit of your property and then provide a quote based on the extent and accessibility of your piping. We offer flexible finance options via Wisetack so that you can pay for the work in affordable monthly installments instead of having to pay it all upfront.
