Repiping
Repiping Your West Chester Home
Outdated, leaky, or deteriorating water pipes can make your life stressful and put your West Chester home at risk for water damage.
You can regain peace of mind and reliable plumbing by repiping your home. Our qualified pros at Timothy Off Heating, Air Conditioning & Plumbing are experienced in whole-house repiping, select pipe replacement, and pipe repairs. We can assess your plumbing system and recommend improvements.
The appropriate plumbing fix may involve a simple repair or a single pipe replacement. However, a plumbing system with extensive damage or many outdated, deteriorating pipes, can be a good candidate for whole-house repiping.
If we recommend whole-house repiping, we’ll explain what the project entails, how long it will take to complete, and how much it will cost.
Timothy Off specializes in plumbing projects for homes and businesses in West Chester, PA, and surrounding areas. We handle leak repairs, sewer repairs, clogged drains, water heaters, and other services.

Signs You Need Repiping
A major renovation or addition to your Pennsylvania home is the perfect time to replace your old water lines as a proactive measure. New pipes will eliminate the need to open walls and ceilings in the future to fix an aging plumbing system.
Other reasons for repiping include:
- Your pipes are galvanized steel, lead, or polybutylene, all outdated materials. Galvanized steel can corrode, accumulate sediment, and leak. Lead in the zinc coating on the steel may leach into the water. Lead pipes jeopardize your health. Polybutylene pipes can crack and become brittle as they age.
- Your aging pipes may be leaking behind walls and above ceilings. Water stains and increasing water bills could indicate a hidden leak. Musty odors also point to leaks that can encourage mold growth. Mold and mildew can trigger allergy and asthma symptoms, irritate the eyes, and cause skin rashes and other health problems.
- Rusty pipes can change the color of your water and give it a metallic flavor.
- Sediment buildup and corrosion may restrict water flow.

Our Repiping Process
Our experts will inspect and assess the need for repiping. If whole-house repiping is the best solution for your plumbing problems and you decide to proceed with it, we’ll help you select replacement pipes. Copper pipes or PEX tubing are sturdy, reliable options.
The amount of time needed for repiping varies from house to house and depends on the extent of the plumbing system and the ease of accessing it. A two-story West Chester home with five bathrooms takes more time to repipe than a bungalow with one bathroom.
We strive to finish every job as quickly as possible without cutting corners on quality. We know how inconvenient it can be to experience a water shut-off.
After replacing your pipes, we restore any areas we have opened in your walls or ceilings to access your plumbing system.

Frequently Asked Questions
How often should a home be repiped?
While every home is different, you should consider repiping services if your plumbing is at least 50 years old.
Of course, environmental corrosion, hard water, root infiltration, poor materials, mistakes in installation, and simple bad luck can all lead to a situation where you must repipe your home well ahead of the half-century marker.
What’s the best material for new pipes?
Modern plumbing works primarily with copper or plastic pipes — PEX in particular. These materials offer the longest service lives with the fewest downsides or potential problems.
Clay pipes, steel pipes, brass, and cast iron are susceptible to corrosion, infiltration, and buildup on the interior, leaving you needing new pipes well ahead of schedule. Some homes may use multiple materials throughout to serve different purposes.
Does repiping replace all of my plumbing?
Repiping usually refers to replacing water lines that deliver water throughout your home, not necessarily replacing fixtures, drains, sewers, etc. You can think of this as replacing everything between your water main and the fixtures where water comes out.
If you need more than that, we’ll discuss what would best serve your home and what needs work after assessing your current plumbing.
