Let’s check out how much the cost of repiping is with PEX.

Average Cost To Repipe With PEX.

The typical cost of repiping your house with PEX ranges from $3200 to $7500 in 3-bedroom houses, but the price depends on many factors.

House sizePEX Repiping costCopper Repiping Cost
Small 1-bathroom home$1600-$2800$2000-$3500
3-Bed, 2-1/2-Bathroom, 2-story house$3200-$7500$4000-$9375

PEX pipe costs anywhere from $0.50 to $2 per foot. Copper pipe is 20-25% more expensive than PEX pipes, so PEX would be a better option if you have budgetary concerns. Suppose your home is roughly 1500 square feet; the cost may vary between a few thousand dollars, say $2500, to around $15,000 for extensive work.

An exact calculation would be determined by analyzing the place, amount of work, number of bathrooms, laundry room space, the number of materials used, etc.

Factors Determining The Cost

The cost of repiping a home depends on a range of factors. Below are a few of the important considerations:

  • The Area of the house
  • Placement of Defective Pipes
  • The Procedure for Replacing Water Pipes
  • Replacement Pipe Material
  • Scope of replacement work

Let’s understand them in detail.

I. The Area of the house

The cost will increase if you have a big house that requires more pipes to replace compared to smaller homes.

II. Placement of Defective Pipes

The position of broken pipes significantly influences the cost of repiping a property. Failing pipes in enclosed spaces, such as water or sewer lines that run under your toilets, rooms, or kitchen walls, will cost more to replumb; as these pipes are difficult to access, a professional will need a bit more time to remove the existing decayed pipes.

III. The Procedure for Replacing Water Pipes

Repairing or replacing pipework in a home can be done in various ways. Physically uninstalling corroded pipes, installing new pipes, and constructing underground tunnels is a time-consuming and costly technique for replacing pipes; however, trenchless technology can assist speed up the procedure and lower total expenses.

IV. Replacement Pipe Material

Cross-Linked Polyethylene (PEX), Chlorinated Polyvinyl Chloride (CPVC), and Copper are a few standard sorts of pipes installed in homes. As mentioned earlier, PEX pipework is more affordable to repipe than copper piping because it is more flexible and more accessible for a technician to install.

V. Scope of Replacement Work

In the case of apartments, many plumbing contractors may offer a reasonable price if they replace noticeable pipework rather than those concealed behind walls and beneath floors. This is not always practicable in big homes that contain old pipes because the lead is hazardous and must be changed as quickly as possible.
