Whole House Repiping
Full replacement of the supply lines feeding your home, in PEX or copper. You get a fixed plan and price up front, and a system that stops failing a section at a time.
If your water pressure has been dropping for years, if the water runs rust colored first thing in the morning, or if you have paid to fix a leak in the same stretch of pipe more than once, the problem is usually the pipe itself rather than the spot that failed. A whole house repipe replaces the supply lines running through your home, so you stop paying for the same repair in a slightly different place every year.
We repipe across Clark County. Vancouver is the biggest part of that work, particularly in the older neighborhoods near downtown where original galvanized supply lines are still in service, but we also repipe in Camas, Washougal, Battle Ground, Ridgefield, La Center and Woodland. Homes on well water get their own consideration, since mineral content accelerates what is already happening inside an aging pipe.
Galvanized pipe is the usual culprit and it fails in a way that hides itself. It corrodes from the inside, so the outside looks fine while the opening narrows year after year. You notice it as gradually worse pressure and discolored water rather than as a dramatic leak, which is why people live with it far longer than they need to. Once corrosion is that far along, patching one section just moves the next failure a few feet down the line.
Before we quote anything, we look at what your system is actually made of and where it runs. Sometimes the honest answer is that you need one section replaced and not the whole house, and we will tell you that. When a full repipe genuinely is the better value, you get the plan, the timeline and the price before we open a single wall.

The most common repipe we do. Galvanized corrodes from the inside, choking pressure and discoloring water. Replacing it restores flow that no fixture change can bring back.
Not every house needs everything replaced. Where the failures are contained to one run or one floor, we replace that and leave sound pipe alone.
The cheapest time to repipe is when walls are already open. If you are planning a kitchen, bathroom or addition, doing the pipe at the same time saves the second round of drywall.
At Pipesmith Plumbing, we’re more than just a service call, we’re your trusted neighbors. We’ve built a reputation in Vancouver, WA for honest work, fair pricing, and dependable solutions. Whether it’s a small leak or a major plumbing overhaul, our team treats every job with the same care and professionalism.
The clearest signal is repetition. One leak on otherwise sound pipe is a repair. Repeated leaks in the same run, pressure that has been falling for years, or discolored water in the morning point at the pipe itself. We look at the material and the failure history before recommending either one.
It depends on the size of the house, how many bathrooms, whether the runs are reachable through a crawlspace or attic, and whether you choose PEX or copper. We walk the house, show you what we found, and give you a fixed price before any work starts. No hourly surprises on a job this size.
Most residential repipes are measured in days rather than weeks. We stage the work so you are not left without water overnight. Before we start you get the sequence, which rooms are affected on which day, and what gets opened up.
Both are good, and which one suits you depends on the layout, the water and your budget. We open access points rather than whole walls wherever the runs allow it, and we tell you exactly where those will be before we begin, so nothing about the repair is a surprise.
