Repiping in Shreveport, LA
If your house keeps springing pinhole leaks or the water pressure keeps dropping, patching one spot at a time stops making sense. Repiping replaces the supply lines through the whole house.
Request a plumberGalvanized pipe
Many older Shreveport homes still have galvanized steel lines that rust from the inside, lowering pressure and turning water brown.
Polybutylene
Gray plastic pipe installed in some homes in the 1980s and early 1990s is prone to failing at fittings and is worth replacing.
Copper pinholes
Older copper can develop tiny leaks. One is a repair; several is a pattern.
Raised floors help
Pier-and-beam houses are usually easier to repipe because new lines run through the crawl space.
Slab homes
On slabs, new lines are run through walls and the attic so the floor doesn't have to be broken.
PEX or copper
PEX is flexible, quick to install and handles freezing better; copper is long-lasting and rigid. Your plumber will explain the trade-offs.
Walls and patching
Plumbers open small sections of drywall to route new pipe. Ask who handles the patching.
Permits
Whole-house repipes generally need a permit and inspection.
Request a plumber
Tell the plumber the age of the house and what problems you're seeing. Send a request and a licensed plumber will get in touch.
