Repiping & Water Line Replacement in Kansas City, MO

If your water pressure has gotten worse year after year, the hot side runs rusty, or you've patched three leaks in two years, the pipe itself is the problem. Jacob the Plumber repipes Kansas City homes and replaces the water service line running from the meter to the house.

Galvanized steel supply pipe was standard in Kansas City for decades and it fails predictably: it corrodes from the inside, the internal diameter closes up until a shower drops to a trickle when someone runs the kitchen tap, and the threaded joints eventually weep. No amount of patching reverses that, because the restriction runs the length of the pipe. Replacement with copper or PEX restores full pressure everywhere in the house at once.

We plan a repipe to minimize damage to finished space — routing through basements, crawlspaces, closets and chases wherever possible, and cutting neat, patchable access openings only where we must. You'll know before we start where every opening will be, roughly how many days the job takes, and how long the water will be off on each of them. [VERIFY — confirm whether drywall patching and paint are included or excluded.]

We also replace the underground service line between the city meter and the house, which is the piece most homeowners don't think about until it leaks and the bill arrives. New service lines are installed at proper burial depth for Kansas City winters, with a new main shutoff you can actually operate, and we coordinate the required permits and inspections.

Repiping is the largest job on this list and we quote it in writing, itemized, with the scope spelled out. If a partial repipe of the worst runs solves your problem for a fraction of the cost, that will be one of the options we put in front of you.
