Pipe Rerouting Costa Mesa CA
I bypass the broken pipe under your floor by running a new line through your walls or attic. This is my preferred method for most Costa Mesa homes.
About Pipe Rerouting Costa Mesa CA
Pipe rerouting means we abandon the leaking copper pipe in the slab and run a new PEX line through the walls, ceiling, or attic. This is my preferred method because it permanently moves your plumbing out of the harsh environment under the slab.
The single-story homes inMesa VerdeandCollege Parkhave accessible attics, making rerouting straightforward. I can often run the new line from the water heater to the bathroom or kitchen with minimal drywall patching. Two-story homes can be harder because we have to fish the pipe between floors, which usually requires opening more drywall. I'll evaluate your layout and provide aWritten Estimatefor the reroute.
Frequently Asked Questions
What material do you use for the new pipes?
I use PEX, which is a flexible, durable plastic tubing that won't corrode or develop pinhole leaks like copper.
Do you have to open my walls?
Yes, I will need to cut some holes in the drywall to route the new pipe, which will need to be patched and painted afterward.
Why is rerouting better than fixing the slab?
Rerouting takes the pipe out of the concrete, so you won't have to worry about soil movement or hard water corroding that specific line again.
