Work order

Pipe Replacement
  • Full System Inspection: We run a sewer camera through drain lines and use leak detection equipment on supply lines. You get a written report showing pipe material, condition, and every problem area we found.
  • New Pipe Installation: We install copper pipe or PEX tubing for supply lines and PVC or ABS pipe for drains. Every joint is soldered or crimped to Uniform Plumbing Code standards, and lines are properly strapped and supported.
  • Pressure Testing: Before walls close up, we pressurize the system to 100 PSI and hold it. Any drop means we find the leak and fix it now. You get the test results documented.
  • Permit and Inspection: We pull the plumbing permit and schedule the inspection. You get a copy of the signed-off permit for your records, which matters when you sell the home.
  • Drywall Patching: We patch the access points we cut during the repipe. The patches are ready for paint. We do not leave holes for you to deal with.
  • Full Cleanup: Drop cloths come up, debris goes in the truck, and we walk the job with you. The house should look the way it did before we started, minus the old failing pipes.

Pipe Replacement covina CA: What the Job Really Involves

Failing pipes do not fix themselves, and patching them just delays the inevitable. Doing the job right once costs less than chasing leaks for years. New pipes restore pressure, stop the damage, and last for decades.

Pipe replacement covina CA means removing failing supply or drain lines and installing new pipe that meets current Uniform Plumbing Code standards. On a supply side job, that means cutting out corroded galvanized or pinhole-leaking copper, then running new copper pipe or PEX tubing through the walls, attic, or under the slab. On the drain side, it means pulling old cast iron or root-crushed ABS pipe and replacing it with properly sloped PVC. We pressure-test every line before the drywall goes back up.

Most Covina homes were built between the 1920s and 1970s, and the original galvanized steel has already outlived its 40-to-50-year lifespan. That is why we get so many calls for repiping covina properties after a third or fourth pinhole leak in a single year. Hard water from local supplies accelerates the corrosion from the inside out. If you are searching pipe replacement covina CA near me because your water pressure has dropped or your water tastes metallic, the pipes are telling you something.

How Our Pipe Replacement Process Works

We keep the job predictable. You get a clear scope, a real timeline, and a crew that protects your floors and furniture.

  1. Inspection and Camera

    We start with a full assessment using a sewer camera and leak detection equipment. We map every supply and drain line, note the pipe material, and locate the failing sections.

  2. Scope and Estimate

    You get a line-item estimate covering pipe material, labor, drywall patching, and permit fees. We quote copper and PEX side by side so you can see the cost difference.

  3. Demo and Rough-In

    On day one we lay drop cloths, cut access points, and remove the old pipe. A two-bath home usually takes three to five days for rough-in.

  4. Pressure Test

    Before any wall goes back together, we pressurize the system to 100 PSI and hold it. If it drops, we find the leak now, not after the paint dries.

  5. Patch and Walkthrough

    We patch the drywall access points, clean up, and walk the job with you.

Tools and Methods We Use

Each method answers a different question. Together they leave very little to guess.

We run a camera through drain lines to see cracks, roots, and blockages. You see the footage on screen so you understand exactly what needs replacing.

Acoustic and thermal sensors pinpoint hidden leaks behind walls and under slabs. This tells us where to cut instead of opening up the whole floor.

We use calibrated crimping tools to make secure PEX connections. Every crimp is checked with a gauge to confirm it meets specification.

For copper pipe joints, we use a soldering torch and lead-free solder. Every joint is cleaned, fluxed, and soldered to code.

Clean, square cuts matter for proper fitting. We use pipe cutters sized for copper, PEX, and PVC to get precise cuts every time.

How Pipe Replacement Works in Covina

Covina sits in the San Gabriel Valley with hot, dry summers and mild winters, and that climate affects your pipes. Copper expands and contracts with temperature swings, which stresses joints over decades.

  • Downtown Covina

    Many homes here date from the 1920s to 1950s with original galvanized pipe. We see frequent pinhole leaks and low pressure. Repiping is often the only permanent fix.

  • Charter Oak

    Mid-century tract homes with copper pipe that is now hitting the 60-year mark. Pinhole leaks and slab leaks are common. We reroute lines through the attic to avoid breaking slabs.

  • Covina Hills

    Larger homes on hillside lots with longer pipe runs. Soil movement can stress underground lines. We use flexible PEX in these areas to handle minor ground shifting.

  • 1952 Bungalow Repipe in Downtown Covina

    Before: The homeowner had three pinhole leaks in six months, all in the same copper line. Water pressure at the shower was barely a trickle. Two previous plumbers had patched the leaks and told him the pipe was fine.

    After: We replaced the entire supply system with new copper on the main and PEX on branch lines. Pressure at the shower went from 28 PSI to 62 PSI. The job took eight working days, and the homeowner has not had a leak since.

  • Slab Leak Reroute in Charter Oak

    Before: The homeowner was told the only fix was to break the slab, which meant moving out for a week.

    After: We located the leak with detection equipment and rerouted the line through the attic instead. The floor stayed intact, the water bill dropped back to normal, and the job was done in three days.

  • Polybutylene Replacement in Sunset

    Before: A 1985 home had polybutylene pipe throughout, which is prone to sudden bursts. The homeowner's insurance company flagged it and threatened to drop coverage unless the pipe was replaced.

    After: We removed all the polybutylene and installed new PEX tubing with new shutoff valves at every fixture. The job took six days. The homeowner sent the paperwork to their insurer and kept their coverage.

Problems Pipe Replacement Solves for Covina Homes

Old pipes fail in predictable ways. Knowing what you are looking at helps you decide whether to repair or replace.

Ask about yours

  • Recurring pinhole leaks in copper pipe

    Each leak damages drywall, flooring, and insulation. Patching one leak just moves the failure point three feet down the line.

  • Low water pressure throughout the house

    Galvanized steel corrodes from the inside, building up scale until the pipe is nearly closed.

  • Slab leak under the foundation

    Water under the slab can crack the foundation, warp flooring, and spike your water bill.

  • Root intrusion in sewer lines

    Tree roots find cracks in old clay or cast iron sewer pipe and grow inside.

Why New Pipes Pay Off

Replacing failing pipes is not just about stopping the current leak. It resets your whole system, restores pressure, and protects everything downstream.

Water Pressure Restored

Corroded galvanized pipe builds up mineral scale until a pencil-thin stream is all you get.

Leaks Stopped for Good

Patching one pinhole leak in a 60-year-old copper line just moves the problem three feet down the run.

Cleaner, Safer Water

Old steel and lead-soldered joints can leach rust and trace metals into your drinking water.

Higher Home Value

A documented repipe is a selling point. Buyers and inspectors flag galvanized or polybutylene pipe immediately.

What Covina Homeowners Say

We had three pinhole leaks in six months and finally gave up on patching. Covina Citrusline replaced all the copper in our 1952 house with new PEX. They were in and out in eight days, patched the drywall, and cleaned up every night. Water pressure is better than it has been in years. Worth every penny.
Maria G.Homeowner, Downtown Covina
Our slab leak was flooding the kitchen floor. They found it with leak detection equipment, rerouted the line through the attic, and had us back to normal in three days. The estimator showed us the camera footage and explained everything. No surprises on the bill.
David R.Homeowner, Charter Oak
I manage six rental units and the galvanized pipe in two of them was failing. Covina Citrusline repiped both buildings over two weeks with minimal tenant disruption. They coordinated access with tenants, kept the water on as much as possible, and passed inspection first time. I will use them again.

Copper costs more than PEX on material but lasts longer. We give you both numbers in writing before any work starts.

A typical single-family home takes five to ten working days from demo to final walkthrough. Smaller jobs, like replacing one bathroom's supply lines, can finish in one or two days. Larger homes with multiple bathrooms, a kitchen, and a laundry room may run two weeks. We give you a day-by-day schedule before we start so you can plan around it.

Not always. If you have had three or more leaks in the same pipe run within two years, whole home pipe replacement covina is usually the smarter money. If the failures are isolated to one section, a targeted replacement works fine. We inspect the full system with a camera and tell you honestly which situation you are in.

Copper and PEX are both excellent choices for Covina. Copper pipe handles heat well and lasts 50-plus years, which suits our hot inland summers. PEX tubing resists freeze damage better and installs faster, which lowers labor cost. For most homes we recommend copper on the main supply and PEX on branch lines. We will walk you through the trade-offs.
