Should I replace galvanized pipes in an older Glendale home?
Galvanized steel was standard in homes built before the 1960s, and much of Glendale's housing dates from that time. Galvanized pipes corrode from the inside, which reduces pressure, discolors water and eventually causes leaks. If your home still has original galvanized supply lines, repiping is usually a question of when, not if.
How much does it cost to repipe a house?
Cost depends on the number of bathrooms and fixtures, the pipe material, access (crawlspace, slab or two-story) and drywall repair. PEX usually costs less than copper and installs faster. See the cost guide for typical ranges, and make sure the quote states whether patching and permits are included.
PEX vs. copper: which is better for repiping?
| PEX | Copper | |
|---|---|---|
| Material cost | Lower | Higher |
| Install time | Faster, fewer fittings | Slower, soldered joints |
| Freeze/burst resistance | Flexible, resists bursting | Can split |
| Corrosion | Doesn't corrode | Can pinhole in some water conditions |
| Lifespan | Decades | Decades |
Both are code-approved in California. Ask the plumber which material they recommend for your home and why.
Lead pipe replacement
Some older homes still have lead service lines or lead solder on copper joints. If testing or inspection finds lead, replacing those sections protects your drinking water. Your water utility may also have information about the service line on your property.

Can I stay in my home during a repipe?
Usually, yes. Plumbers typically restore water at the end of each workday, and the switchover to the new system takes a few hours.
Will the walls be damaged?
Repiping needs small openings in drywall to run the new lines. Ask whether patching is included in the quote or handled separately.
Do I need a permit to repipe?
Yes. A whole house repipe requires a plumbing permit and inspection in Glendale and surrounding cities. Your licensed contractor should pull it.
