Visions of having to move all of your furniture out, floors, walls torn up and you living in a hotel....it doesn't have to happen if you hire the right plumbing company.

So how is it that we can do this? We do not recommend copper pipe for repiping Encinitas or Carlsbad homes anymore. Why?

That is very common in older homes, but we are seeing it even in very new homes.
