What We Fix

Pipe Problems We Repair

Burst pipes

A frozen pipe that split, a corroded section that gave out or water hammer damage. We cut out the failed section and repair it properly.

Pinhole leaks in copper

Pinholes are common in copper pipe that's 30+ years old, especially where the pipe has been in contact with acidic soil or experienced aggressive water chemistry.

Corroded galvanized pipe

Galvanized supply pipe corrodes from the inside out. Once the inside is heavily scaled, the rust flakes off and pressure drops throughout the house. Multiple pinhole leaks in galvanized pipe mean it's time to repipe.

Pipe leaks inside walls

A leak behind drywall shows up as a water stain, a soft spot in the wall or a mysterious spike in your water bill. We locate and repair it. See our leak detection page.

Low water pressure throughout the house

Mineral deposits in old galvanized pipe narrow the interior diameter over decades, reducing pressure everywhere. Replacing the supply lines restores full pressure.

Leaks under the slab

A supply line running under the concrete floor that has developed a leak. See our slab leak repair page for detection and repair options.

Water main line repair

The supply line from the meter to the house. A crack or failure drops your pressure and can cause a wet spot in the yard above the pipe.

Pipe additions for new fixtures

Adding a bathroom, laundry room or outdoor connection — we rough in the supply and drain lines for new fixture locations.

Pipe Materials

Which Pipe Material Is Right?

Material	Where it's used	What to know
PEX	Supply lines (hot and cold)	Flexible, freezes without always bursting, corrosion-resistant — the current standard for repiping in Oregon
Copper	Supply lines, some drain lines	Long-lasting, but prone to pinholes in acidic soil and expensive to replace
CPVC	Supply lines (hot and cold)	Less flexible than PEX, can become brittle over 20+ years
Galvanized steel	Old supply lines, pre-1970s homes	Corrodes from the inside, severely restricts flow in aging homes — replace when it fails
ABS / PVC	Drain, waste and vent lines	Standard for new drain and sewer work in Oregon
Cast iron	Older drain lines	Can last a very long time but cracks with ground movement and rusts at joints

Repiping

When Is It Time to Repipe?

Multiple leaks in the same system

One pinhole leak in copper can be repaired. Two or three in different locations in the same year means the pipe has reached the end of its useful life.

Low pressure at every fixture

If pressure is low throughout the house, not just at one fixture, the supply lines themselves are the problem. In galvanized homes, the interior is often heavily scaled with rust deposits.

Rust-colored water

Discolored water from the hot or cold tap (not just hot) typically means galvanized or cast iron pipe is corroding from the inside.

Home built before 1970 with original plumbing

If the galvanized supply lines are still original, they're at or past the end of their service life. A repipe to PEX or copper means no more corrosion problems for decades.

PEX repiping: We repipe homes to PEX — cross-linked polyethylene pipe that's flexible, doesn't corrode and handles Tigard's winter temperatures better than rigid copper or CPVC. A full house repipe typically takes one to two days depending on size.

What to Expect

How Pipe Repair and Repiping Works

You call

Active leak: we respond same day. Non-emergency: we schedule at your convenience.

We assess the pipe

For a single repair, we locate the failed section. For a repipe evaluation, we inspect the system and tell you what it's made of and what condition it's in.

You get the price

We give you the full price before any work starts — for repair and, if applicable, for a full repipe so you can compare options.

We do the work

We pull the Oregon plumbing permit, do the repair or repipe, and restore any drywall access points as part of the job discussion.

Inspection and testing

We pressure test the new pipe before closing walls, confirm there are no leaks and have the work inspected by the city if required under the permit.

Local Knowledge

Pipe Issues in Tigard: What to Know

Galvanized and cast iron are still common in Tigard

Many homes in Tigard's established neighborhoods were built between 1955 and 1975, still have original galvanized steel supply pipe. After 50+ years, that pipe is heavily scaled on the inside, reducing flow to a trickle and prone to pinhole leaks at any time.

Clay soil shifts pipes over time

Tigard's clay-heavy soil expands in the wet season and contracts in summer. That movement stresses buried and crawl-space pipes at joints and fittings over decades. Pipes that have shifted slightly can develop slow leaks that go unnoticed until there's water damage.

Oregon permits are required

Any supply pipe repair that opens a wall, and any full or partial repipe in Oregon, requires a plumbing permit and inspection. We pull the permit on every job that needs one. An unpermitted repipe can cause problems at sale.

Common Questions

Pipe Repair and Repiping Questions

How much does pipe repair cost in Tigard?

A single accessible pipe repair typically runs $200–$600. Repairs behind drywall or in a crawl space run $400–$900. You get the price before we start.

How much does it cost to repipe a house in Tigard?

A full PEX repipe of a two-bathroom home in Tigard typically runs $4,000–$8,000. Larger homes or those with complex layouts run more. We give you an exact quote after seeing the home.

What is PEX pipe and is it good for repiping?

PEX is cross-linked polyethylene — a flexible plastic pipe that's been the standard for residential repiping for over 20 years. It doesn't corrode, handles freeze-thaw cycles better than rigid pipe, and is faster to install than copper.

My house was built in the 1960s. Should I repipe?

If the original galvanized supply lines are still in place, they're over 60 years old and likely heavily corroded inside. Low pressure, rust-colored water and pinhole leaks are signs they're failing. A repipe before they fail on their own schedule is worth doing.

Can you fix a pipe leak without cutting into the wall?

Sometimes — a leak at an accessible fitting or at a shutoff valve doesn't require opening a wall. But if the leak is in a section of pipe behind drywall, we need to open a section of wall to reach it and make a proper repair.

I have low water pressure throughout my house. Is that a pipe problem?

If pressure is low at every fixture, the supply pipes are likely the cause — either scaled galvanized pipe or a partially closed main shutoff. If it's just one fixture, the problem is usually at that fixture.

Do I need a permit to replace pipes in my house in Oregon?

Yes. Any supply line repair that opens a wall and any repipe requires an Oregon plumbing permit and inspection. We pull the permit as part of the job.

What's the difference between a pipe repair and a repipe?

A repair fixes one failing section. A repipe replaces the entire supply piping system — all lines from the main shutoff to every fixture. We recommend a repipe when the same pipe material keeps failing in multiple places.

How long does a full house repipe take?

Most single-family homes in Tigard can be repiped in one to two days. We schedule the water to be off during work hours and restore pressure each evening.

Can you repipe just the hot water lines?

Yes. If only the hot side is failing, we can repipe just those lines. We'll tell you honestly whether a partial repipe makes sense or whether the cold lines are close behind.
