Two neighborhoods dominate our repipe calls: pre-1965 homes in Hillcrest, Mission Hills, Kensington, and North Park (galvanized) and mid-century tracts in Clairemont, Bay Park, Serra Mesa, and Allied Gardens (slab-leak copper). Coastal air in Point Loma, La Jolla, and Coronado adds corrosion on top. We repipe every era of San Diego home.
Common questions
How do I know if I have galvanized?+
It looks like dull gray steel and a magnet will stick. We'll ID it during a free in-home walkthrough.
Is galvanized dangerous?+
The pipe itself is safe, but decades of rust deposits reduce flow and can carry lead from old solder joints. Replacement is the right long-term call.
Why are Clairemont and Bay Park such a repipe hotspot?+
Those tracts were built in the 50s and 60s with copper supply lines cast into post-tension slabs. Six decades of hot water plus San Diego mineral content pinhole the pipe. Overhead reroute in PEX-A is the standard fix.
Will you handle drywall and patching?+
Yes. We cut clean access, patch drywall as part of the job, and can coordinate paint touch-ups if you want them done at the same time.
