If your house was built before 1985, there is a good chance the original supply lines are still in the walls and getting close to the end of their useful life. Galvanized steel rusts from the inside, polybutylene fails without warning, and old copper develops pinhole leaks when the water chemistry is off. DW Plumbing handles whole-house and partial repipes across Indianapolis, Carmel, Fishers, Greenwood, Noblesville, Lawrence, and surrounding areas.
You do not always have to wait for a flood to know.
If a single repair feels like one of an inevitable series, it is. The cost of three or four spot repairs over a year is often most of the way to a full repipe.
PEX. Cross-linked polyethylene. Flexible, freeze-resistant, fast to install, and has decades of field history. The right choice for most modern repipes in central Indiana. PEX-A is what we install most often.
Copper. Long-standing, code-accepted, fire-resistant. Costs more, takes longer to install, but some homeowners prefer it for visible runs or specific aesthetic reasons.
We do not push one over the other. We tell you what each costs, what each does well, and what each does poorly, and you decide.
A whole-house repipe replaces the supply lines from the main shutoff out to every fixture. That includes:
Drain lines are a separate job. If your drains are also failing, we will tell you, but a supply repipe and a drain replacement are quoted separately.
A typical repipe takes 2 to 5 days depending on home size, accessibility, and material.
We protect floors and furniture, contain dust, and clean as we go.
Per the EPA’s drinking water guidance, modern PEX and copper supply lines installed correctly are expected to last 50+ years. The galvanized that came out of the wall did not last that long because the technology in 1965 was not what 2026 technology is.
The honest answer is “it depends,” and we do not give phone quotes for repipes because we cannot see your house from a phone. The variables are home size, number of fixtures, material chosen, accessibility, and finish work scope. What we will tell you on the phone is the realistic range and what makes a job land at the high end vs. the low end of it.

Will my walls be torn up?
Some openings are unavoidable. We minimize them and locate them where patching is easy. A typical repipe is 8 to 15 small access cuts, not whole-wall demolition.
Can I stay in the house during a repipe?
Yes. Water service is interrupted only during specific stages, typically a few hours per day. We coordinate that around your schedule.
Do you handle the drywall repair?
We can coordinate it, or you can use your own drywall and paint contractor for the finish work. Many homeowners prefer the latter.
Is a partial repipe a good idea?
Sometimes. If you have a clear failure point (one wing of the house, one bathroom group), partial makes sense. If pinholes are showing up in multiple areas, full repipe is usually the better dollar.
