Living in southwest Florida puts you at greater risk for certain plumbing problems, including the deterioration of copper water lines. When this occurs, the only sure fix is a complete home repiping, which includes replacing all existing water lines with clean, safe PEX pipes, a material that's resistant to the effects our water has on copper.
Several reasons make repiping a necessity, but one of the biggest factors is the type of piping you have in your home. You should consider repiping if your home has the following:
- Copper piping: Some areas around Southwest Florida receive water from reverse osmosis plants. This water leeches minerals from copper piping and breaks it down over time, leaving it prone to leaks. Visible leaks or damage to the pipes is the first indication that repiping may be necessary.
- Polybutylene (Quest) piping: Multiple issues with this type of piping have resulted in extensive failure and property damage. In fact, many home insurance companies require homeowners to replace polybutylene piping. It was heavily used in residential construction from the 1980s through the mid-1990s, so your home may have this type of piping.
Areas that receive water from reverse osmosis plants, such as Cape Coral, Ft. Myers, Pine Island, Captiva, and Sanibel, experience the greatest need for repiping. Our plumbers at Aztec can perform a pipe inspection to help you determine if repiping is necessary for your home.

Understanding Your Investment: Repiping Costs Explained
The cost of repiping your home depends on several factors, including the size of your house, the type of pipes you choose, and the complexity of the installation. Here's what you should consider:
- Type of Piping Material: There are various options for repiping, including copper, PEX (cross-linked polyethylene), and CPVC (chlorinated polyvinyl chloride). Each material has its pros and cons in terms of durability, cost, and installation ease.
- Home Size and Layout: Larger homes naturally require more piping and labor, increasing the overall cost. The layout of your home also matters - houses with multiple stories or complex plumbing systems may require more work and thus, higher costs.
- Extent of Repiping: You may choose to repipe the entire house or only specific areas. Partial repiping (e.g., just hot water lines or specific rooms) will generally cost less than a whole-house repiping job.
- Accessibility: The easier it is for plumbers to access your pipes, the less labor-intensive (and costly) the job will be. Homes with crawl spaces or basements often have more accessible plumbing than slab foundations.
- Additional Repairs: During repiping, other issues may be uncovered that need addressing, such as outdated fixtures or necessary drywall repairs. These can add to the overall cost.
At Aztec Plumbing & Drains, we understand that repiping is a major decision. We'll thoroughly assess your home's needs and provide a detailed estimate, helping you choose the best repiping solution that balances quality, longevity, and cost-effectiveness. Our team is committed to delivering superior workmanship while respecting your budget constraints.
Preparing for Your Piping Project: Essential Homeowner Tips
Repiping doesn’t have to turn your life upside down. Here are a few things you can do to make the process go as smoothly as possible:
- Clear Access to Work Areas: Make sure the areas where pipes need to be replaced—like under sinks, behind walls, or in closets—are clear of furniture and personal items before the plumbers arrive.
- Plan for Water Shut-Offs: During the repiping process, we’ll need to shut off the water for a bit. It’s a good idea to have a few jugs of water on hand for cooking, cleaning, or drinking during that time.
- Talk to Us: If you have any concerns or questions about the project, don’t hesitate to let us know. Clear communication makes the whole process easier and helps us meet your expectations.
