Whole-house repipe
New supply lines run to every fixture, and the old ones come out. It is the answer when leaks keep appearing in different places.
Repiping and Water Line Replacement in Dearborn
Repiping replaces the supply lines that carry water to your fixtures, or the line that brings it into the house. We look at what is installed, explain the options and give you a free quote.
Repipes cover Dearborn and the nearby cities we serve.
Repiping options
Partial repipe
One stretch may have failed, such as the run to a bathroom or a kitchen. We replace that part and leave sound piping in place.
New water service line
The line from the street to your house can be replaced on its own. A request to the city’s water division comes first.
PEX or copper
Choose between flexible PEX, which runs around corners with fewer joints, and soldered copper, which is rigid. Before you decide, we go over how each fits your house.
Lead service lines in Dearborn
Dearborn has committed to replacing all lead water service lines within the next twenty years, together with its water main replacement program.
If you are planning a new water line, tell us when you call. We can talk through how the job fits with the city’s work.
Permits and the water department
Dearborn’s plumbing permit lists water distribution pipe by size, so a repipe goes on a permit. A request to install or disconnect a water line goes to the Department of Public Works (DPW) Water and Sewerage Division.
What a repipe involves
We open the wall in a few places to run the new lines, then patch the openings. The water is off for part of the visit, and we tell you when so you can plan around it.
Before any lines are replaced, leak finding can confirm where the water escapes. Heater hookups are on the water heater page, and the homepage lists the remaining services.
