Repiping in West Chester & King of Prussia, PA
Residential plumbing pipes aren’t meant to last forever, although people often treat them as if they should. A good set of pipes may last for decades, but any house will eventually need some amount of repiping, possibly a whole-home repiping to swap out all the aging pipes.
This is a big job, but you can trust the plumbers at Signature HVAC to provide 100% customer satisfaction when you hire them for your repiping in West Chester, PA, or the surrounding area.
We’ve earned a reputation for reliability and excellent customer service — people know when they call us they can expect service in hours, not days. We always aim for perfection on any job we take on, and we have some of the best plumbers in the area on our staff. If you think you need repiping, whether basic pipe repair and drain repair or whole-home, turn to us.
Does My Home Need Pipe Replacement?
Pipes can age at different rates or incur damage that will require a partial repiping. When you have leaking pipes or drains that are clogging regularly, you may need to have a pipe replacement rather than a smaller repair.
We have the best inspection equipment available to allow us to examine your pipes from the inside and determine the best path forward, which includes determining what type of pipe materials to use for the replacement. We’ll make any drain repair or pipe repair straightforward and see that you’re 100% satisfied with our work.
When Is Whole-Home Repiping Necessary?
When does a home need total repiping? It depends on the home’s age and the type of pipes it has. For homes that are over 50 years old, the plumbing may be mostly made of galvanized steel and cast iron — both of which will corrode over time and may even put lead into the water.
Even homes built in the 1980s may have piping that’s too old and outdated. If your house is in this age range, we recommend you call our plumbers to do an inspection of the piping. They can determine if a whole-home repiping is your best choice.
When removing aging pipes, we’ll use the best current materials: copper, PEX, CPVC, and other types of plastic pipes are the best replacements for older materials. Copper is corrosion-resistant, lightweight, and less expensive than iron and steel, and it doesn’t add lead into the water.
Plastic piping is useful for flexibility and its ability to handle a range of water temperatures. You won’t have to worry about the right types of pipe materials being used — our plumbers will handle everything.
Why Invest in Repiping Instead of Pipe Repair?
When you have a pipe that leaks or causes other problems, you often have two options: repairs or repiping. Which choice is best will depend on several factors, though repiping will always lead to longer-lasting and more reliable plumbing moving forward.
For example, you might repair a minor leak or flaw in an otherwise fresh and intact pipe, but when you’re dealing with an older pipe or a network of faulty pipes, repiping becomes a far wiser investment.Â
Unlike some other equipment in your home that you might repair rather than replace, the risk of damage to other parts of your home is exceptionally high when dealing with potentially faulty plumbing. Investing in repiping is an excellent way to ensure modern, effective, reliable plumbing in the affected areas, improving home value and minimizing your risk for the future.

Frequently Asked Questions
What causes pipes to fail?
Outside of simple aging, pipes often fail due to poor initial installation, issues with your water such as hard or acidic water, damage from accidents or natural disasters, or environmental issues such as corrosive substances in the area.
How Much of My Plumbing Should I Replace at Once?
When possible, it’s best to handle full replumbing all at once. Otherwise, focus on addressing areas with the most wear and tear to restore the most value to your home.
How Long Will New Pipes Last?
Modern plumbing materials last far longer than their predecessors; some PEX and CPVC pipes could outlast your home with a bit of luck, with estimated life spans of a century or more. At a minimum, well-installed repiping today could be expected to last 50 years with proper plumbing maintenance.
