Apartment Repiping at a Glance
What owners and managers need to know
What is an apartment building repipe?
An apartment repipe replaces the aging hot and cold water lines that serve a building with new copper or PEX piping. The old, corroded pipes and fittings are removed, and new pipes are installed in their place.
When is it needed?
When residents report poor water pressure, leaking pipes, water that swings between scalding and cold, or yellow, rusty or dirty water from showerheads and faucets. These problems usually come from buildup and corrosion inside older pipes.
How Fraser helps
Repiping is a specialty of our trained crew. We plan the work around your residents, keep the work area clean and orderly, and give you a free estimate before the job starts.
What Residents Notice
Signs your apartment building needs repiping
Tenant complaints are often the first warning. If you’re hearing about any of these, the building’s plumbing lines may be rusting and reaching the end of their life.
Hearing the same complaints again and again?
When pressure, temperature or water quality complaints keep coming in, the building’s aging pipes may be the cause. Call us and a repiping specialist will help you find out where you stand.
Poor water pressure
Buildup inside older pipes restricts the flow of water to faucets and showers.
Leaking pipes
Leaks can damage walls, floors and residents' personal property.
Yellow or rusty water
Discolored water from showerheads or faucets is a sign of rusting pipes.
Scalding or ice-cold showers
Restricted flow in old pipes can cause sudden swings in water temperature.
Dirty water
Buildup and corrosion in aging lines can leave water looking or tasting dirty.
Recurring repairs
Dripping faucets and repeat plumbing calls add cost and stress for owners.
Why Repipe Your Building
Why repiping protects your apartment building
For owners and managers, rusting, aging plumbing lines are more than a maintenance headache. Repiping is a financial investment in the building’s long-term viability.
What happens inside aging pipes
As the plumbing lines in an older building rust and age, buildup forms inside the pipes. That buildup limits water flow and leads to the major problems residents notice: poor water pressure, water that runs too hot or too cold, dirty or rusty water, and leaking pipes. New PEX or copper piping can make a significant difference for your apartment or rental property.
Why repiping is essential
Repiping an aging apartment building helps you:
- Prevent leaks from causing extensive water damage to walls, floors and residents’ personal property
- Save money by avoiding costly repairs
- Stop the situation from getting any worse
A professional repipe also helps make sure there are no current problems that could end up costing you a lot of money in the future.
How leaks damage apartment buildings
Leaks from broken or malfunctioning plumbing, sewer or water systems can cause extensive and costly damage if they aren’t dealt with quickly and properly, in new construction and older properties alike. They can start in basements, crawl spaces, attics and other hidden areas. Left undetected or untreated, they damage walls, floors, ceilings, carpets and furniture, and in extreme cases they lead to structural damage such as buckling floors and mold growth. Our commercial leak detection and water damage restoration services can help when a leak has already caused damage.

We make every effort to minimize disruption to residents’ daily lives while we work on your apartment complex. We keep our work area as orderly and clean as possible and plan the job carefully so it’s done right the first time. Repiping is a specialty of our trained crew, and no job is too big or too small for us to tackle.

Don't wait for water damage
Undetected leaks can damage walls, floors, ceilings, carpets and furniture, and in extreme cases cause buckling floors and mold. Replacing failing pipes stops the problem before it gets worse.
Choosing Materials
Copper or PEX for your apartment building
Both copper and PEX are good replacements for old, rusting pipes. We’ll explain which one suits your building and budget.
Copper repiping
Copper is lighter than steel and resists corrosion and rust. Fraser can complete a copper repipe in apartment buildings as well as homes and commercial properties.
PEX repiping
PEX is a flexible, cost-effective piping material. It costs less than copper and needs fewer fittings, which makes repiping a whole building possible at a fair price. Learn more about PEX repiping.
Other properties we repipe
If your building is part of a homeowners association, see our HOA community repiping. For offices and other business properties, see commercial repiping. For an overview of all our options, visit our main plumbing repipe page.
Water intrusion detection
Along with repiping, we provide water intrusion detection and maintenance for rental properties. Call (619) 332-0275 to talk to a repiping specialist.

FAQ
Apartment repiping questions
What San Diego building owners and property managers ask about repiping.
How do I know if my apartment building needs repiping?
Common signs are resident complaints about poor water pressure, leaking pipes, scalding or ice-cold water in the shower, and yellow, rusty or dirty water from showerheads and faucets. These problems usually come from buildup inside rusting, aging pipes.
Why repipe instead of fixing leaks as they happen?
Repiping prevents leaks from causing extensive water damage to walls, floors and personal property, saves money by avoiding costly repeat repairs, and stops the situation from getting worse. It’s an investment in the long-term viability of the building.
Will repiping disrupt my residents?
We make every effort to minimize disruption to residents’ daily lives while we work, and we keep the work area as clean and orderly as possible.
Should we use copper or PEX?
Both work well. Copper is lighter than steel and resists corrosion and rust, while PEX is flexible, less expensive than copper and needs fewer fittings. Compare copper repiping and PEX repiping, or ask us for a recommendation.
Can leaks cause structural damage to an apartment building?
Yes. Leaks from broken or malfunctioning plumbing, sewer or water systems can damage walls, floors, ceilings, carpets and furniture, and in extreme cases lead to buckling floors and mold growth. Our commercial leak detection service can help find hidden leaks.
Do you repipe other types of properties?
