The pressing need for home repiping in Palm Springs is a direct consequence of the age of its most famous neighborhoods. Homes built in the 1950s and 60s in areas like Old Las Palmas and the Movie Colony were constructed with galvanized steel pipes, which have a functional lifespan of 40 to 60 years. These original pipes are now living on borrowed time, corroding internally and causing a host of problems. This natural aging process is significantly accelerated by the very hard water of the Coachella Valley. The high mineral content not only causes severe scale buildup that chokes off water flow, but it also hastens the corrosion process. This leads to the classic symptoms of failing pipes: brown or yellow water from the taps, drastically reduced water pressure, and an alarming increase in pinhole leaks that can cause extensive damage to irreplaceable architectural finishes.

Our expert home repiping process is meticulously planned and executed to be as minimally invasive as possible, a critical consideration for the architecturally significant homes of Palm Springs. The project starts with a thorough on-site evaluation and a detailed plan to replace the system with the least amount of disruption. We take great care to protect your home’s surfaces, including original terrazzo floors and custom woodwork. We then replace the old, failing pipes with modern, high-performance materials like flexible PEX tubing or durable copper. PEX is often the preferred choice as its flexibility allows us to navigate through walls and attics with minimal openings, preserving original walls and finishes. Our experienced technicians work with precision and skill, ensuring every new line and connection is perfectly installed and rigorously tested to meet all Palm Springs city codes.
