Why You Might Need Piping or Repiping
There are many reasons why you may need to have your pipes replaced.
- If you are having frequent plumbing problems, it may be that your pipes are old and cannot be repaired.
- If your home is more than 30 years old, you may need to have all of your pipes replaced because they are made of materials that are not compatible with newer fixtures and appliances.
Another reason why you may need to have your pipes replaced is because you are adding a new fixture or appliance that requires a different type of piping.
- For example, if you are adding a new sink faucet to a water line that is connected to a kitchen sink, you may need to have that water line replaced with a new one that is compatible with the new faucet.
Types of Piping Materials
There are many types of materials used to make different types of piping. The type of material used depends on the location of the piping, the amount of pressure in the water line, and the amount of weight that the water line is expected to carry.
- For example, a water line that is connected to a washing machine may need to be made of a stronger material than a water line that runs from a faucet to a sink.
Common materials used to make water pipes include:
- Copper
- Galvanized steel
- PVC
The type of material used to make a water pipe depends on the needs of the particular water pipe.
- For example, a water pipe that carries water to a washing machine may need to be made of a stronger material because of the increased pressure and weight.
When You Should Consider Repiping
You may need to have your plumbing lines repiped if you are adding a new fixture or appliance that requires a different type of plumbing line.
- For example, if you are adding a new water heater and it requires a copper water line, you may need to have all of your water pipes repiped with copper. If you are adding a new sink faucet that requires a PVC water line, you may need to repipe all of your water pipes with PVC.
You may also need to repipe your plumbing if you are remodeling your home and want to change the overall look of your plumbing system.
- For example, if you are painting the walls of your kitchen and want to change the color of your kitchen sink faucet and water lines, you may need to have your water lines repiped to match the new faucet.

“Marco didn't actually come out to fix my plumbing, so I can't review him on that. However, I called because I thought my sump pump was broken. I called several other plumbers and it sounded like an expensive repair. I told Marco exactly what the problem seemed to be (sump pump not pumping out the water) and he suggested I try taking the lid off and using a broom stick to see if I could dislodge TP from the float that regulates the sump pump.Justin S.
I tried it and it worked! Everyone else quoted me $1100-1200 for the repair but no one suggested trying this one simple thing. I appreciate the honesty and helpfulness Marco provided and if I need a plumber in the future will use him. Thanks Marco!” -
“He is incredibly thorough. Not only did he fix the issue at hand, he went above and beyond to figure out where the problem could be coming from beyond the immediate problem.”Tiffani Y.
He went above the call of duty
"Marco was extraordinary!- Tiffani Y.
We had an urgent situation where our drain was backed up and overflowing into our bathroom and then into our bedroom. I called Marco and he immediately guided me over the phone (recalling what my house set up since he had been out the week before for an unrelated problem) to help me get the water under control.
I needed him to come out right away and he rearranged his schedule so that he can squeeze us in. He let us know if he wasnt able to move things around he could call a friend of his also in the plumbing business which was great he had a solution for us if he wasnt able to move his other appts around.
Another reason I really appreciate his work is that he is incredibly thorough. Not only did he fix the issue at hand, he went above and beyond to figure out where the problem could be coming from beyond the immediate problem. Turns out I had a blockage of roots growing into my sewer line to the street. He called the county for me the next day to find out whose responsibility this is to fix. The county then pointed him to the city so he called them for me and told them the problem he saw using his camera and asked them to take care of it (and they did!) He absolutely didn't need to do this next step as his work for me was already done but this is how I found him to be extraordinary because he went above the call of duty.
I really appreciated all his help in this situation and I would definitely use him again" -
“I called and texted and Handy Plumbing Man replied! It was close to midnight. Who does that?! I was so impressed. He has a calming voice and I just listened to his advice. And he was right.”Holly Y.
Handy Plumbing Man came in half an hour
"Like many of the reviews, i had a backup at the most inconvenient time. Late Friday night backup from the toilet. A bad one - sewage coming up. It was horrifying. I called and texted and Handy Plumbing Man replied! It was close to midnight. Who does that?! I was so impressed. He has a calming voice and I just listened to his advice. And he was right. The next morning he came out and fixed my backup. A real nice gentleman. And very quick. Thank you!- Holly Y.
I had a second problem that came up again on a Friday evening! And again Handy Plumbing Man came in half an hour and to my rescue. I'm so glad I found Marco." -
“I called Handy Plumbing Man for a second opinion after another popular and well-rated plumbing service told me we needed a very expensive full lateral line replacement, immediately. Marco came out, evaluated the situation, and fully explained the different options, of which a full lateral line replacement was only one option. I appreciated his professionalism, knowledge, and honesty, and have found our new go-to plumber. I highly recommend this business.”Allie K.

“Rapidly responds to your question. Gives you a quick appointment. Shows up on time. TRIES TO SAVE YOU MONEY. Does what he says he'd do. Is very respectful. Cleans up. Name a single plumber who fulfills all those criteria. I couldn't until I met Marco.”W.W.
Take every bad experience you've had with a plumber in the past and then reverse it
"There's a reason why every review for Marco is 5 stars. Take every bad experience you've had with a plumber in the past and then reverse it. Marco is that good.- W.W.
Rapidly responds to your question. Gives you a quick appointment. Shows up on time. TRIES TO SAVE YOU MONEY. Does what he says he'd do. Is very respectful. Cleans up. Name a single plumber who fulfills all those criteria. I couldn't until I met Marco.
I had four jobs for him. He told me how to fix job 3 without him doing anything. Then he did the other three jobs and only charged me for one. The man is honest, hardworking, and he's earned my business for good."
