Whole-Home Repipe (PEX) — Greater Seattle
Replace your old pipes with modern, reliable PEX
Is It Time to Repipe Your Home?
If you’re dealing with constant leaks, low water pressure, rusty water, or pipes that are just plain old, whole-home repiping may be the permanent solution. Done Right Plumbing specializes in PEX repiping throughout the greater Seattle area — replacing failing galvanized steel, polybutylene, or copper pipes with modern, durable PEX tubing.
A repipe is a significant investment, but it’s also a permanent fix. No more patching leaks, no more worrying about the next failure, and often a noticeable improvement in water pressure and quality.
Signs Your Home Needs Repiping
These symptoms often indicate your pipes are failing:
- ✓Frequent leaks — if you’ve had multiple leaks in different locations, the whole system is likely deteriorating
- ✓Low water pressure throughout the house — not just one fixture
- ✓Rusty or discolored water — especially when you first turn on the tap
- ✓Visible corrosion — green or white buildup on exposed pipes
- ✓Polybutylene pipes (gray plastic) — a material known for unexpected failures; if you have it, replacement is recommended
- ✓Galvanized steel pipes — common in homes built before 1970; these corrode from the inside out
- ✓Water that tastes or smells metallic — sediment and rust in aging pipes
Why PEX?
PEX (cross-linked polyethylene) has become the standard for residential water supply lines, and for good reason:
Won’t Corrode
Unlike metal pipes, PEX doesn’t rust, scale, or corrode. Your water stays clean and your pipes last longer.
Flexible Installation
PEX bends around corners, requiring fewer fittings and connections — which means fewer potential leak points.
Freeze Resistant
PEX can expand slightly if water freezes inside, making it more resistant to burst pipes than rigid copper or steel.
Quieter Operation
No more water hammer or pipe noise when fixtures turn on and off.
Long Lifespan
PEX is rated to last 50+ years with proper installation.

We Serve Lynnwood, Everett & Surrounding Areas
Whole-home repiping is especially common in older neighborhoods throughout Lynnwood and Everett. 1950s–70s homes with original galvanized steel pipes are prime candidates — those pipes are corroding from the inside out and failing more frequently every year.

Will you have to cut holes in my walls?
Some access holes are typically needed, yes. We patch drywall as part of the job, leaving your home ready for paint. We plan the pipe routes to minimize wall access wherever possible.
I have polybutylene (gray) pipes — should I repipe?
Yes — polybutylene pipes are known for unexpected failures and are no longer accepted by most home insurers. If you have poly pipes, we strongly recommend replacing them with PEX before a failure causes water damage.
Will a repipe improve my water pressure?
Often, yes. Corroded galvanized pipes restrict flow — sometimes dramatically. Replacing them with PEX often results in noticeably better water pressure throughout the house.
