PEX Repiping in Portland, OR

PEX is the most common material for whole house repiping today. It is flexible cross linked polyethylene, it snakes through walls with fewer openings than rigid pipe, and it does not pit or scale the way copper and steel do.

SPB Hydro Plumbing connects Portland, OR homeowners with plumbers who repipe in PEX. Two systems are common. PEX-A uses expansion fittings under ASTM F1960, where the pipe shrinks back over the fitting. PEX-B uses crimp or clamp rings under ASTM F1807. Both are approved by the major plumbing codes.

Layout matters as much as pipe. A home run manifold gives each fixture its own line and shutoff. A trunk and branch layout uses less pipe. The plumber picks based on how many bathrooms you have and where the water heater sits.

PEX should not sit in direct sunlight or touch a water heater flue, so the first 18 inches at most heaters is metal. Call SPB Hydro Plumbing at (866) 335-0301 for a PEX repiping plan.

How it works

Four steps to water line replacement in Portland, OR

  1. 01

    Describe the pipe

    Tell us what you see: a wet yard, rusty water, low pressure or old gray polybutylene. That points to the service line, the house pipes, or both.

  2. 02

    Talk it through

    We go over the job and the likely scope on the phone, then book a local plumber for Portland, OR.

  3. 03

    Site visit and plan

    The plumber checks the pipe material, the run length and the shutoff, then lays out trench, trenchless or repipe options.

  4. 04

    Work and inspection

    You pay the local plumber directly. The price is agreed before any water line replacement or whole house repiping starts.

Water line replacement FAQs

Questions about water line replacement and whole house repiping

Questions we hear most often about PEX Repiping in Portland, OR.

Talk to a person
What is the difference between water line replacement and whole house repiping?
Water line replacement covers the buried service pipe from the meter or curb stop to the house. Whole house repiping replaces the supply lines inside the walls. Older homes often need both because the pipes are the same age.
Is PEX or copper better for repiping?
PEX costs less, needs fewer wall openings and does not corrode. Copper handles heat well and lasts in friendly water but can pit in aggressive water. Many homes with past pinhole leaks choose PEX.
How can I tell if I have polybutylene pipe?
Polybutylene is flexible gray or blue plastic, often stamped PB2110, found in many homes built from about 1978 to 1995. Check near the water heater, under sinks and where the main enters the house.
Why is my water pressure low only in some rooms?
When pressure is fine at the hose bib but weak upstairs or at one fixture, rust scale inside galvanized pipe is the usual cause. A gauge test and a check of the pressure reducing valve come first.
Can slab leaks be fixed without breaking the floor?
Often the lines under the slab are abandoned and new PEX is rerouted through the attic or walls. That leaves the concrete and flooring alone.
