Whole-house repipe
Every fixture gets a new supply line from the main, and old runs are taken out. Walls are opened where the pipes pass and patched once the work is tested.
Repiping and Water Line Replacement in Arvada
Repiping replaces the supply pipes that bring water to your taps. It is worth a look when pipes leak in more than one place, water runs discolored or pressure has dropped through the house.
Repipes cover Arvada and the nearby cities we serve.
Repiping options
Partial repipe
If only one part of the house has trouble, such as the upstairs bath or the kitchen, only that run is replaced.
New water service line
The line from the meter pit to the foundation can be replaced in full, and that stretch belongs to the homeowner in Arvada.
PEX or copper
PEX is flexible plastic tubing and copper is rigid metal pipe. Ask your plumber how each performs inside your walls before you choose.
Lead and galvanized lines
Arvada prohibits lead and pre-1960 galvanized service lines in its water system. As of early 2025 its inventory had found zero lead lines and a few galvanized ones.
If your property is affected, the City will help replace the line at no cost to you through 2026. Ask your plumber about the line from the meter pit to the foundation.
Permits for a repipe
Arvada’s permit page says alterations, replacement and repair work need a building permit, and it does not name repiping on its own. Have the plumber confirm with the City what your job needs.
What a repipe involves
