Houston Galvanized Plumbing Replacement Cost

How Much Does it Cost to Replace Those Old Galvanized Pipes in Your Houston Home?

So you need to replace the failing galvanized pipes in your Houston home?

You are wondering: How much is it going to cost you to replace the galvanized plumbing with new durable plumbing?

The cost of a galvanized pipe replacement (also called a repipe) varies based on 1) the material used, 2) size of your home, 3) number of stories, 4) number of bathrooms, and 5) total water fixtures you have in your home. It is a moderate to high investment in your home, but if it is delayed it can cost you more money in the long run.

A whole house galvanized pipe replacement can range roughly from $4000 to $15,000, when using PEX as the galvanized pipe replacement. PEX requires less demolition of your home and therefore reduces the overall cost from other materials like a copper repipe. A copper repipe would require opening up your walls wherever there are water lines. A copper repipe would be more expensive. See the repiping process for more info.

What happens if I don’t replace the galvanized pipe in my home?

Galvanized pipes are steel pipes that have been dipped in a protective zinc coating to prevent corrosion and rust. Galvanized piping was commonly installed in homes built before 1960. However, in Houston, home builders used galvanized pipes for water supply plumbing in homes through the late 1980s. Galvanized pipes in Houston have a life expectancy of 40-50 years. This number varies based on water quality, frequency of use, and initial quality of pipes.

Galvanized pipes begin to corrode from the inside out, causing pinhole leaks, rusty color water, and fluctuation in water temperature and pressure. The problem with galvanized pipes is sometimes you don’t know you have a problem until you have a major problem. Once you start experiencing problems with your 40+ year old galvanized pipes, it is typically recommended that you get a whole house repipe to replace all the galvanized plumbing. This process will protect your home from potential damage and provide you with a better dwelling experience: clean water, good water pressure, and consistency in water temperature.
