Typically, you can expect to invest between $4,000 - $15,000 to re-pipe your house. A number of factors depend on the following factors:
- The number of plumbing fixtures
- Type of piping
- Size of house
- Permitting requirements
Fixtures
Plumbing fixtures include bathrooms, tubs, sinks, and other appliances. Of course, when you have a higher number of appliances, the cost will likely rise. Additionally, the more square feet you have, the higher your investment will be. The piping will need to be long enough to cover your entire house.
Piping Type
Similarly, your re-pipe costs will be higher if you use expensive materials like copper piping instead of cheaper but equally durable options like PEX tubing. Rigid piping also routinely costs more to install than flexible PEX because it requires more removal of walls and floors, which increases labor costs.
For example, re-piping the same 1,500 square foot home would cost twice as much using copper pipes as it would if you selected PEX.
Permits
Local permitting requirements and costs can vary widely. Getting the right permits is essential, however.
Fortunately, when you hire plumbing and drain professionals like 1-800 Plumber +Air of Marietta to handle your re-piping project, they will take care of all the permitting for you. This ensures that your project is done up to code, on time, and hassle-free.
