Central Florida Whole-Home Repiping
Trusted Repiping Experts Delivering Lasting Results
While a repiping project may seem intimidating at first glance, it’s a valuable service for your plumbing system. Pipes need to remain in good condition to minimize the risk of leaks, water damage, or drops in water pressure. These problems waste water, making household tasks such as laundry and cooking more difficult or expensive.
If pipes break completely, fixtures and appliances connected to your plumbing won’t work at all and may cause flooding. Quality whole-home repiping increases the efficiency and reliability of your entire plumbing system, making it a great investment. That's where Dial Duron Service Co. comes in.

The When and Why of Repiping
Despite hiding under floors or behind walls, whole-home repiping provides immediate benefits. Old pipes are at high risk of corrosion, leaking, and bursting. Their vulnerability to specific issues will depend on the materials used in their construction. Older Central Florida homes will have likely relied on these materials for decades.
For repiping professionals, it becomes a question of “when you should” repipe your house rather than “if you should.” Recognizing the signs early can help mitigate larger problems down the line, saving homeowners from costly repairs and extensive water damage.
Types of Plumbing Pipes
Cast iron pipes were once the most popular option for plumbing systems. Galvanized steel was standard prior to 1970, before polybutylene became the material of choice until the late 1990s. However, despite being common forms of piping at the time, each of these materials was eventually found to be vulnerable to corrosion and breakage. Even copper piping degrades after enough time passes.
Innovations in plumbing technology have introduced new materials such as PEX and CPVC, which are more resistant to typical issues like rust and mineral build-up. Understanding the benefits and limitations of each material helps homeowners make informed decisions during a repipe service project.
Should Polybutylene Pipes Be Replaced?
Yes, the material in polybutylene (or PB) pipes becomes brittle with age, often wearing down from oxidants that destroy the material. This can make this type of piping prone to fractures and pipe breaks.
Unfortunately, this type of pipe is very common in Central Florida. Your repiping plumbing team will help you determine how to best replace your polybutylene pipes during your whole-home repiping project.
It is crucial to replace these pipes before they fail. Polybutylene pipes are especially vulnerable in Brevard County due to the local climate, which can accelerate the degradation process. Our team is well-versed in identifying and replacing PB pipes efficiently, reducing potential threats to your property.
What Are the Effects of Pipe Corrosion?
Regardless of the material used, corrosion should be avoided. This kind of damage will result in leaks, which in turn causes a host of other plumbing concerns. Pipe breaks, cracks, exposure to toxic materials, mold growth, and water damage are just a few potential issues. That's why we recommend becoming aware of the signs that repiping may be needed.
Regular inspections can help in identifying early signs of corrosion. Our team offers thorough assessments to ensure that any indications of wear are addressed promptly, helping to maintain the plumbing system's integrity and functionality.
Benefits of Repiping Older Homes
Older homes often have character, but their aging plumbing systems can be a liability. Repiping can offer multiple long-term benefits:
- Improved Water Quality: New pipes reduce the risk of rust, sediment, and contaminant buildup.
- Higher Water Pressure: Clogged or corroded pipes reduce flow. New piping restores strong, consistent pressure.
- Fewer Plumbing Repairs: Old pipes tend to fail. Modern materials reduce the frequency and cost of emergency repairs.
- Energy and Water Efficiency: Less water waste and energy loss due to leaks and inefficient piping.
- Increased Home Value: Buyers appreciate upgraded plumbing systems, making homes easier to sell and appraise.
Brevard County homes built before the 1990s especially benefit from these upgrades, and our experienced plumbers can help evaluate what materials and layouts best suit your property.
When Should I Repipe My House?
- If your plumbing is making odd noises
- If your water tastes funny
- If your pipes are continually becoming clogged
- If your water appears to be discolored
- If your water pressure has changed
These symptoms don't just indicate inconvenience; they can signal deeper infrastructure issues that need immediate attention. Addressing them quickly can prevent more severe problems and costly repairs in the future.
Your plumbing provider may recommend whole-home repiping or only replacing certain sections of your plumbing.
How to Prepare for a Repiping Project
Preparing your home for repiping helps make the process quicker, safer, and less stressful. Here are practical steps homeowners can take to support a smooth project:
- Clear Access Areas: Remove items from under sinks, closets, and utility areas where plumbing work will be done.
- Plan for Water Disruptions: Your water supply may be temporarily shut off, so plan accordingly for cooking, cleaning, and bathing.
- Communicate With the Team: Ask about the scope of work and any expected timelines so you can adjust your daily routine.
- Cover Furniture and Flooring: Dust and debris may occur. Use drop cloths or ask if your plumbing team will bring protective coverings.
- Secure Pets and Children: For safety, keep pets and kids away from work zones.
Our team will walk you through every step, ensuring minimal disruption and timely project completion.
