Recognizing When Your Plano Home Needs Repiping
Your home’s plumbing system silently works around the clock, but even the most durable pipes eventually require replacement. Understanding the warning signs helps prevent costly water damage and ensures your family’s health and comfort.
Critical Warning Signs of Pipe Failure
| Warning Sign | What It Means | Urgency Level | Potential Cost if Ignored |
|---|---|---|---|
| Rusty/Discolored Water | Internal pipe corrosion | High | $5,000-$15,000 in water damage |
| Low Water Pressure | Mineral buildup or leaks | Medium | $2,000-$8,000 in repairs |
| Frequent Leaks | Systematic pipe failure | Critical | $10,000+ structural damage |
| Strange Odors/Taste | Bacterial growth or corrosion | High | Health risks, filtration costs |
| Visible Corrosion | Advanced deterioration | Critical | Emergency replacement needed |
Understanding Pipe Lifespans in North Texas Homes
Plano’s unique water chemistry and temperature fluctuations affect different pipe materials differently. Our 34 years of local experience shows these typical lifespans:
- Galvanized Steel (70-100 years): Common in pre-1960s Plano homes, prone to rust and mineral buildup
- Copper (50-70 years): Standard in 1970s-1990s construction, susceptible to pinhole leaks
- CPVC (25-40 years): Budget option from 1980s-2000s, brittle with age
- PEX (40-70 years): Modern choice, flexible and corrosion-resistant
The Staggs Plumbing Repiping Process: What to Expect
Our systematic approach minimizes disruption while ensuring lasting results. Every repiping project follows our proven 6-step process, refined through thousands of successful Plano home transformations.
Step 1: Comprehensive Inspection and Assessment
Our master plumbers conduct a thorough evaluation using advanced diagnostic tools including video inspection and pressure testing. This initial assessment, typically completed within 90 minutes, provides a complete picture of your plumbing system’s condition. We document all findings and provide you with a detailed report including photos and recommendations.
Step 2: Material Selection and Planning
| Material | Cost Range | Lifespan | Best For | Warranty |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Type L Copper | $8,000-$15,000 | 50-70 years | High-end homes, resale value | 25 years |
| PEX-A | $4,500-$9,000 | 40-70 years | Most homes, flexibility needed | 25 years |
| PEX-B | $3,500-$7,000 | 30-50 years | Budget-conscious projects | 10 years |
| Hybrid (PEX + Copper) | $6,000-$12,000 | 50+ years | Optimal performance/value | 25 years |
Step 3: Project Timeline and Scheduling
Most Plano home repiping projects complete within 2-4 days. We coordinate water shutoffs during convenient times (typically 9 AM – 4 PM) and ensure you have water access each evening. Our team includes drywall specialists who repair access points immediately, minimizing the renovation impact.

Why DIY Repiping Risks Your Home and Family
While some plumbing tasks suit handy homeowners, repiping requires professional expertise. Texas plumbing code requires permits and inspections for repiping projects. Mistakes can cause:
- Catastrophic water damage (average claim: $11,000)
- Code violations preventing home sales
- Voided homeowner’s insurance coverage
- Health hazards from improper connections
Our licensed master plumbers ensure code compliance, proper permits, and guaranteed results—protecting both your investment and your family’s safety.
