Professional Repiping & Whole-House Pipe Replacement in Westport & Fairfield County
Many homes throughout Westport—particularly in historic neighborhoods like Greens Farms, Old Hill, Coleytown, and Saugatuck—were constructed between the 1920s and 1970s with galvanized steel or early thin-wall copper water pipes. Over decades, galvanized pipes rust from the inside out, constricting water flow with heavy mineral tuberculation and causing chronic low water pressure and discolored water.
If your home is experiencing frequent pinhole leaks, rusty brown water when you first open taps, or severe pressure drops when multiple fixtures run, a whole-house repipe is the permanent solution.
Westport Pro Plumbing & Drain specializes in minimally invasive whole-home repiping. We replace failing metal plumbing with premium Uponor PEX-A expansion piping or Type L copper with surgical drywall cuts, restoring full water pressure and pure, clean water throughout your home.
- Persistent low water pressure when running multiple fixtures (e.g., shower loses pressure when washer runs)
- Discolored, brown, yellow, or metallic-tasting water coming from faucets
- Multiple pinhole leaks occurring within a 12-month period across different pipe sections
- Visible flaking rust, heavy oxidation, or white mineral crusting on exposed basement pipes
- Home contains original galvanized steel or polybutylene plumbing

Frequently Asked Questions: Repiping Services
How long does a whole-house repipe take?↓
A standard 2 to 3-bathroom residential repipe in Westport typically takes 2 to 4 working days. Importantly, we ensure your home has running water at the end of every working day.
Will repiping ruin my drywall and paint?↓
No. Our repiping process uses surgical, small rectangular drywall cuts in inconspicuous locations (inside closets, behind toilets, under vanities). We coordinate professional drywall patching so walls look untouched.
Is PEX piping safe for drinking water?↓
Yes. Uponor PEX-A is NSF/ANSI 61 and 14 certified for potable drinking water, does not pit or corrode, will not leach minerals or chemicals, and eliminates copper pinholing entirely.
Does repiping increase home resale value in Fairfield County?↓
Yes. Eliminating failing galvanized or pinholing copper pipes is a major selling point for Fairfield County home buyers, removes red flags on home inspection reports, and lowers insurance premiums.
