Repiping in Chattanooga & North Georgia
Replace Failing Pipes Before the Next Leak
Many homes in older Chattanooga neighborhoods like St. Elmo, Highland Park, East Ridge and Red Bank still carry their original galvanized steel water lines. Galvanized pipe corrodes from the inside, slowly narrowing until water pressure drops, hot water turns brown and pinhole leaks start appearing in walls and crawlspaces.
Patching one leak at a time gets expensive. Repiping replaces the aging supply lines with modern PEX or copper, restoring full pressure and clean water and ending the repair cycle. Not every home needs a full repipe; when problems are limited to one area, replacing only those sections can be the better value.
Metro inspects your plumbing first, shows you what we find and recommends only what's needed. We plan routes to keep wall openings small, protect your home while we work and pressure-test every line before we finish.

Signs You Need Repiping
Rusty or Discolored Water
Brown or reddish water, especially first thing in the morning, means galvanized pipe is corroding from the inside.
Pressure Keeps Dropping
Corrosion narrows galvanized pipe until fixtures barely flow, even after cleaning aerators.
Repeated Pinhole Leaks
One pinhole leak is a repair. Two or three in a year means the whole system is wearing out.
Your Home Has Galvanized Pipe
Many homes built before the 1970s still have original galvanized lines that are well past their service life.
Gray Polybutylene Lines
Gray plastic polybutylene pipe, common in some homes from the 1970s to 1990s, is prone to sudden failure.
Temperature Swings in the Shower
If the shower goes scalding or ice-cold when someone flushes, undersized or restricted lines may be the cause.

Your Options
Partial or Whole-Home Repiping?
Partial Repipe
Replaces only the failing runs, such as a corroded kitchen or bathroom branch. A smart choice when the rest of the system is sound.
Whole-Home Repipe
Replaces all supply lines at once, ending the cycle of repairs and restoring full pressure throughout the house.
PEX or Copper
PEX is flexible and freeze-resistant; copper is rigid and long-proven. We recommend the right material for your home.

What Affects the Cost of Repiping?
Repiping cost depends on the size of your home, the number of bathrooms and fixtures, whether you replace every supply line or only the problem sections, the material you choose and how accessible the pipes are. Homes with open basements or crawlspaces are simpler than slab homes where lines run through finished walls.
Drywall patching after the work is another factor. We plan routes to keep openings small and give you a full, upfront price that spells out what's included before any work starts.
You always get the price before any work begins. Financing is available for qualified customers on larger jobs.
Expert Tip From Metro's Master-Certified Team
Check Your Pipes With a Magnet
Look at the pipe where your water line enters the house or at the water heater. If a magnet sticks and the pipe is dull gray with threaded joints, it's galvanized steel. If your home still has it, start budgeting for a repipe before leaks force the decision.

Frequently Asked Questions

(423) 855-0967How long does repiping take?
Most homes can be repiped in a few days, depending on size and access. We plan the work so you have running water each evening whenever possible.
Will you have to open a lot of walls?
Usually not. We plan routes through closets, crawlspaces and attics and make small, targeted openings rather than removing large sections of drywall.
PEX or copper: which is better?
PEX is flexible, freeze-resistant and cost-effective, with fewer fittings. Copper is durable and long-proven. We'll explain the trade-offs for your home.
Do I need to repipe the whole house?
Not always. If problems are limited to one area, replacing only those sections can be the better value. We inspect first and recommend only what's needed.
Why is galvanized pipe a problem?
Galvanized steel corrodes from the inside, which restricts flow, discolors water and eventually leaks. Most galvanized systems are well past their expected service life.
Is financing available for repiping?
Financing is available for qualified customers, which helps many homeowners plan a whole-home repipe.
