Signs You Need Repiping

You may notice some warning signs that suggest it’s time to call a professional for repiping services. For example, some property owners may notice:

  • Brown or rust/discolored water, which can indicate iron corrosion
  • Fluctuations in water pressure, such as sudden drops in water pressure volume in the shower
  • Warm floor spots, which can suggest hot water supply line leaks
  • Sudden increases in your water bill
  • Frequent pipe leaks
  • Strange tastes or odors coming from your faucets
  • Visible corrosion on exposed pipes
  • Pipes that bang, rattle, or make unusual noises

Repiping can make a huge difference if you’ve been facing many pipe issues in your home. In Amarillo, homeowners report improved water pressure, cleaner, better-tasting water, and greater plumbing reliability after our services. Piping systems in the Texas Panhandle area can be prone to certain problems from environmental factors, such as:

  • Hard water/ lots of mineral buildup in water, such as calcium and magnesium, contributing to mineral scaling
  • Shifting clay soils in neighborhoods like Sleepy Hollow, Greenways, and Puckett can cause ground movement, contributing to under-slab leaks
  • Sudden drops in winter temperatures can cause pipes in older homes to be prone to cracks and split joints

frequently asked questions

Why do galvanized iron pipes in older Amarillo homes cause low water pressure?
Many established homes in Amarillo built before the 1970s contain galvanized steel or iron pipes. Over decades, calcium and magnesium from Ogallala Aquifer hard water react with the zinc coating inside the pipe, creating heavy, rusted mineral scale (tuberculation). This buildup restricts the internal pipe diameter, severely choking water flow and leaving tap water with a reddish-brown rust tint.
A slab leak occurs when an underground hot- or cold-water supply pipe beneath a concrete foundation develops pinholes or cracks. Because neighborhoods like Sleepy Hollow, Greenways, and Puckett sit on expansive Panhandle clay, the soil expands when wet and contracts when dry. This constant foundation shifting bends copper lines under the slab, causing friction wear against surrounding soil or concrete until a pressurized leak forms.
While copper is durable, PEX (cross-linked polyethylene) tubing has become the preferred choice for whole-home repiping in Amarillo. PEX is flexible enough to expand slightly during sudden Panhandle winter freezes without bursting, is completely immune to mineral scale buildup and hard water corrosion, and requires far fewer intrusive drywall cuts during installation.
Depending on the location and condition of the pipe, slab leaks are typically resolved using one of two methods: direct spot repair (breaking through a small section of concrete to fix the specific joint) or pipe rerouting (capping off the leaking under-slab pipe entirely and running a new, modern supply line through walls or attic space to bypass the foundation).
