When the pipes in your walls start failing one leak at a time, patching them only buys time. As part of our plumbing services, Air Services Heating, Cooling, Plumbing, and Electrical replaces old supply lines throughout the house with new PEX or copper piping, so you get steady water pressure, clean water, and an end to surprise leaks. We repipe homes across Springfield, Nixa, Ozark, Republic, and nearby communities.

When a House Needs New Pipes
One leak can be a simple plumbing repair. Repeated problems usually mean the whole system is wearing out. Repiping is worth considering when you notice:
- Leaks in different parts of the house within a year or two
- Low water pressure at several fixtures at once
- Rusty, brown, or cloudy water, especially first thing in the morning
- Green or blue stains and pinhole leaks on copper pipes
- Visible corrosion, flaking, or bulging on exposed pipes
- Hot water that runs out faster than it used to
Old Pipe Materials Found in Springfield Homes
The age of your home tells us a lot about what is behind the walls. Many houses around Rountree, Phelps Grove, Midtown, and the older blocks near Missouri State were plumbed with galvanized steel before the 1960s. Galvanized pipe rusts from the inside out, which narrows the opening and lowers pressure over the years.
Homes built from the late 1970s to the mid-1990s may have polybutylene, a gray plastic pipe that can crack and fail without warning. Copper lines in older homes can develop pinhole leaks too, and the hard water common across the Ozarks adds mineral buildup that speeds up wear. Rusty or cloudy water can also come from a failing tank, so we check whether you need water heater repair as well. Our plumbers inspect your pipes and tell you plainly whether a repair or a full repipe makes more sense.
PEX vs. Copper Repiping
We install both of the most common materials for residential repiping:
- PEX: Flexible plastic tubing that bends around framing with fewer fittings, resists scale and corrosion, and handles freezing better than rigid pipe. It usually means fewer wall openings and a shorter job.
- Copper: A long-lasting rigid pipe that holds up well to heat and is a good fit for exposed runs in basements and utility rooms.
Our plumber recommends the best material for your home, budget, and water conditions, and explains the trade-offs before you decide. Homes with very hard water may also benefit from whole-house water filtration to protect the new lines.
Our Whole Home Repiping Process
- We inspect your plumbing, map the supply lines, and give you a written price and timeline.
- We protect floors and furniture and make small, planned openings in walls and ceilings where needed.
- We run new supply lines to every fixture, appliance, and the water heater.
- We pressure test the new system and check every connection for leaks.
- We patch the openings and restore water to the whole house.
Most families stay in their home during a repipe. We plan the work so water is shut off for as little time as possible each day.
Partial Repiping and Related Plumbing Work
Not every home needs a full repipe. If the problems are limited to one area, such as a bathroom or the kitchen, a partial repipe may solve them for less. Hidden leaks behind walls or under floors can be found with our water leak detection service before any pipe is replaced.
If the line from the street to your house is also old or leaking, our water line repair team can replace it during the same project. A repipe is also a good time to look at an aging tank, so ask about water heater installation, and to protect your new pipes from scale with a water softener.
What Affects the Cost of Repiping
Every repipe is priced after an inspection. The main factors are:
- The size of the home and the number of bathrooms and fixtures
- PEX or copper piping
- How easy the walls, crawl space, or basement are to reach
- Whether the main water line or water heater connections also need work
