Replace failing galvanized, polybutylene, or cast iron systems with modern PEX or copper — on schedule, on budget, code-compliant.

About This Service

Complete replacement of outdated galvanized, copper, or polybutylene piping throughout the home with modern PEX or copper systems to eliminate leaks, improve pressure, and meet current codes during full gut renovations.

What's Included

  • Complete PEX-A or copper replacement of galvanized, polybutylene, and cast iron systems
  • Coordinated scheduling with framers, drywall, and HVAC crews on active flip sites
  • Metro Nashville and Davidson County code compliance — all permits pulled and inspections passed
  • Pressure testing and documentation for insurance and resale
  • Manifold systems for individual shutoffs — ideal for rental property management
  • Same-day assessments for active flip properties

Common Issues We Solve

  • Galvanized steel corrosion causing low pressure and rust-colored water
  • Polybutylene pipe (gray plastic) failure — common in Nashville homes built 1978–1995
  • Cast iron supply lines with interior scaling
  • Pinhole leaks in original copper from corrosive Nashville water chemistry

Our Process

1

Assessment & Quote

We walk the property, document existing pipe material and condition, identify permit requirements, and deliver a written quote within 24 hours — no nickel-and-diming.

2

Permit & Scheduling

We pull all Metro Nashville plumbing permits and coordinate the repipe window to fit between rough framing and drywall so no trade gets held up.

3

Demolition & Re-Route

Existing supply lines are removed and new PEX-A or copper runs are installed with clean, labeled manifold systems. All work is photographed for your records.

4

Pressure Test

The entire system is pressure-tested and documented before drywall goes up, protecting your investment and satisfying your inspector.

5

Final Inspection

Metro Codes inspection sign-off is obtained and a full report is handed off to you — useful for listing disclosures and investor documentation.

Whole-House Re-Pipes — Frequently Asked Questions

How long does a whole-house re-pipe take during a typical Nashville flip timeline?
For a standard 1,200–2,000 sq ft Nashville flip, rough-in repiping typically runs 2–4 days once permits are active. We time the work between rough framing completion and drywall start so your general contractor never has to pause a trade. Larger properties or homes with complicated layouts (split-levels, Victorian-era rooflines) may take an extra day. We always give you a specific window — not a vague estimate — when we scope the job.
PEX-A vs. copper: which is better for older Nashville homes being flipped?
For most Nashville flips targeting the $350K–$600K market, PEX-A is the right call. It's significantly more flexible than copper, handles Nashville's freeze-thaw cycles better, and costs 30–40% less in materials. Copper remains the premium choice for high-end Belle Meade or Green Hills renovations where buyers expect traditional materials, or when local codes require it in certain above-ground situations. We'll give you an honest recommendation based on your specific neighborhood, buyer profile, and budget.
What Nashville-area code issues come up during repiping inspections that catch flippers off guard?
The most common surprises: Metro Nashville requires pressure-reducing valves (PRVs) on any home where street pressure exceeds 80 PSI — very common in The Nations, Sylvan Park, and parts of East Nashville. You'll also need backflow prevention on irrigation systems, and any polybutylene removal requires full documentation. Older galvanized-to-PEX transitions need approved dielectric fittings. We handle all of this automatically because we pull permits on every repipe — you're not managing code surprises on your own.
Do you coordinate with other trades during gut renovations?
Yes — and this is non-negotiable for keeping your flip schedule intact. We actively communicate with your GC, framing crew, and HVAC installer to sequence work correctly: plumbing rough-in goes in after framing, before insulation and drywall. We share our inspection schedule with your GC's calendar, and if another trade causes a conflict, we reschedule same-day rather than forcing a week-long delay. Investor clients can give us direct access to their project management platform (Buildertrend, CoConstruct, etc.).
What's the ROI on repiping before listing a Nashville investment property?
In Nashville's current market (2026 median around $480K–$501K), a fully disclosed modern PEX repipe typically adds $8,000–$15,000 in listing value in competitive neighborhoods like East Nashville, Germantown, and Antioch. More importantly, it eliminates inspection-driven price reductions and deal kills that cost sellers $10K–$25K in negotiations or lost contracts. For rental portfolios, the payback is maintenance cost reduction — galvanized pipes in rentals generate 2–4 service calls per year on average; modern PEX systems run for 25+ years with zero leak calls.
