Whole-Home Repiping in Nashville, Franklin & Murfreesboro
Done patching leaks? We replace the old, failing pipe running through your home with modern PEX or copper, so you stop fixing the same problem twice.
Signs your home needs to be repiped
Not every leak means a full repipe. But if a few of these sound familiar, the pipe itself is the problem and patching won’t fix it:
- Rusty, brown, or metallic-tasting water
- Water pressure that's faded over the years
- Your home still has galvanized or polybutylene pipe
- Leaks that keep showing up in new spots
- Visible corrosion or green buildup on pipes
- Hot water that takes forever to arrive
The pipe types we replace most
A lot of Middle Tennessee homes were built with pipe that’s now known to fail. Here’s what we find and why it has to go.
| Pipe type | When it was installed | What it looks like | Why it fails |
|---|---|---|---|
| Polybutylene | About 1978 to 1995 | Grey (sometimes blue) flexible plastic | No longer manufactured. Fails without warning and was the subject of the Cox v. Shell class-action settlement. (documented by InterNACHI) |
| Galvanized steel | Before about 1970 | Dull grey threaded metal | Rusts from the inside out, which chokes pressure and turns water brown. |
| Kitec (less common) | About 1995 to 2007 | Orange and blue plastic with brass fittings | Recalled. The fittings corrode and the line can burst. |
Where we see old pipe across Middle Tennessee
These are the areas with the most homes from the galvanized and polybutylene eras. Not sure what you’ve got? We’ll identify it on the spot.
Plenty of polybutylene out in Antioch, Hermitage, and Bellevue from the 80s and 90s, plus pre-1970 galvanized in East Nashville, Madison, and the older core neighborhoods.
Historic downtown Franklin is full of pre-1970 galvanized, while the building boom in Brentwood and around Cool Springs left a lot of polybutylene behind the walls.
PEX or copper? We'll help you choose
Both are solid. We lay out the trade-offs and let you decide based on your home and budget.
| PEX | Copper | |
|---|---|---|
| Cost | Lower | Higher |
| Install | Faster, fewer connections | Slower, more labor |
| Freeze resistance | Flexes, handles cold better | Can split if frozen |
| Best for | Most homes today | Homeowners who prefer the proven standard |

Repiping questions, answered
Polybutylene is grey (sometimes blue) flexible plastic, usually installed between 1978 and 1995. Galvanized is dull grey threaded metal found in homes built before about 1970. If you’re not sure, we’ll identify it for you during the assessment.
Most homes are done in one to two days. Larger or more complex homes can take a little longer, and we’ll tell you what to expect up front.
No. We make small, targeted access points instead of opening everything up, then patch them when we’re finished and keep the cutting to a minimum.
Yes. It’s no longer manufactured and is known to fail without warning, so if your home still has it, replacing it is a when, not an if.
