Question 1

How do I know if my pipes need replacing?

Accepted Answer

Signs include discoloured (rust-brown) water, frequent leaks especially at joints, reduced water pressure throughout the house, or pipes that are over 30–40 years old. Galvanised steel pipes in older homes are the most common candidate for replacement.

Question 2

How do I know if I have galvanised pipes?

Accepted Answer

Galvanised pipes are a dull grey colour and are magnetic (unlike copper). You can usually check under the house or in the meter box. If your home was built before 1980 and has never had replumbing, there's a good chance you have galvanised pipes.

Question 3

How long does a repipe take?

Accepted Answer

A partial repipe (hot water lines, for example) might take a day. A full home repipe typically takes 2–3 days depending on house size and access. Luke will give you a clear timeline and minimise disruption.

Question 4

Will you need to cut into walls?

Accepted Answer

Some wall access may be required, but we use modern flexible PEX piping where possible to minimise the amount of wall cutting needed. We'll always discuss the method with you before starting.

Question 5

What type of pipes do you use?

Accepted Answer

We use quality approved materials — copper for traditional applications and PEX (cross-linked polyethylene) for flexible runs where appropriate. Both are durable, widely used, and meet Australian standards.
