Whole-Home Repiping in Katy and Houston

Replace aging galvanized, polybutylene, or failing copper with modern PEX or copper.

Home Repipes for Katy and Houston Homes

Obsta Plumbing provides whole-home repiping for homes in Katy, Houston, and surrounding service areas. Service includes removing aging supply lines and installing new PEX or copper piping, securing permits, passing city inspection, and restoring access points. The scope depends on the home's existing plumbing and the materials selected.

If your home has aging galvanized steel, polybutylene, or corroding copper pipes, a whole-home repipe is the permanent solution. We replace old supply lines with durable PEX or copper, materials that handle regional water conditions and last for decades. We secure all required permits and pass city inspection.

• Rust, discoloration, or sediment in your tap water
• Frequent pinhole leaks in copper pipes
• Visible corrosion on exposed pipes
• Your home has polybutylene piping, common in 1978 to 1995 builds
• A history of slab leaks or pipe failures

Common Causes

Understanding what may be behind the problem helps you know what to expect. These are common causes, though a proper diagnosis happens during the service visit.

• Galvanized steel corroding from the inside out after decades of use
• Polybutylene piping becoming brittle and prone to failure
• Copper developing pinhole leaks from corrosion over time
• Mineral buildup narrowing pipe interiors and reducing pressure
