Written estimates, proper permits, financing options. Zero obligation.
Contractor opens walls, ceilings, or slab access as needed and removes old pipes. Water will be off most of the day. You'll receive water back each evening.
New lines are run through walls, ceilings, under slab if applicable. PEX's flexibility significantly speeds this phase vs. copper.
New lines connected to all fixtures, water heater, and shutoff valves. This is where bathroom count matters most — each bath adds time.
Pass/fail test with documentation. City or county inspector visits. This is the permit inspection — do not skip this step.
Often performed by a separate drywall contractor. Budget $1,500–$4,000 for patch/texture/paint, not included in most repipe quotes.
Most FL homeowners stay in their home during a repipe — you'll have water restored each evening. Hotels are rarely needed unless you have a very large or complex home. Plan for 2–5 days of partial disruption depending on home size and complexity. Have bottled water on hand for day 1.
Some FL homeowner insurance policies cover pipe replacement under "service line coverage" or when tied to a covered water damage claim. Polybutylene replacement may be partially covered if you've had prior burst pipe claims. Always contact your insurer before starting — get the plumber's written assessment first. A licensed plumber's report documenting pipe condition is your strongest basis for a coverage conversation.
In Florida, a repipe permit protects you — it ensures the work is inspected and documented. If a contractor asks you to waive the permit "to save money," walk away immediately. An unpermitted repipe voids your homeowner's insurance coverage for related claims, and creates serious problems — and potential deal-killing issues — when you sell your home.
