Choosing to replace the Poly-B piping in your Victoria home is a major investment in the safety, value, and longevity of your property. Once you have made the proactive decision to upgrade to modern, reliable PEX piping, the next question is usually about the logistics. Homeowners frequently wonder how long the process will take, how messy it will be, and how much it will disrupt their daily lives.

At Wade Roberts Plumbing, we specialize in making complex plumbing projects as seamless and stress-free as possible. We know that inviting technicians into your home requires trust. That is why we prioritize clear communication, respect for your property, and meticulous planning. Here is exactly what you can expect when you partner with us for a full home repipe.

The Step-by-Step Repipe Timeline

A standard whole-home repipe typically takes anywhere from three to five days, depending on the size of your home and the accessibility of your plumbing. We work diligently to ensure you are never left without essential water for long.

Step 1: The Initial Assessment and Protection

Before any work begins, our licensed plumbers take the time to prepare your home and map out the most efficient routes for the new pipes.

• We lay down protective floor coverings and drop cloths to keep your home clean.

• We identify the exact locations where small, strategic cuts in the drywall are necessary.

• We walk you through the daily schedule so you know exactly what to expect.

Step 2: Removal and Installation

This is the core phase of the project. Our team works systematically through your home, section by section, to minimize disruption.

• We safely disconnect and extract the accessible sections of the old, degraded Poly-B piping.

• We snake the new, flexible PEX piping through your walls and floor joists.

• We install high-quality, secure fittings to ensure a perfectly watertight system.

Managing Your Water Supply

One of the biggest concerns homeowners have is losing access to water during the project. We structure our days so that you maintain as much normalcy as possible. In most cases, we only shut off the main water supply during the day while we are actively working. By the time our crew cleans up and leaves for the evening, your water is turned back on so you can cook, clean, and shower as usual.

Post-Installation and Wall Repairs

Because plumbing runs behind your walls, some drywall removal is unavoidable. However, our technicians are trained to make precise, minimal cuts. We do not unnecessarily tear down large sections of your walls.

Once the new PEX system is fully installed and rigorously pressure-tested for leaks, the final step is patching. Depending on the scope of the project, we can either coordinate with a trusted local drywall specialist to patch and paint the access holes or we will leave the spaces neatly prepared for a contractor of your choice. When the job is done, you will have a brand-new plumbing system backed by our comprehensive one-year warranty.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Do I need to move out of my house during a repipe?

No, you do not need to leave your home. We clean up our workspaces daily and ensure your water is functional at the end of each shift so you can remain comfortable.

Q: Will you need to tear up my hardwood floors?

Rarely. Because modern PEX piping is highly flexible, we can usually snake it through walls, ceilings, and basements without ever touching your flooring.

Q: How accurate is the initial estimate?

At Wade Roberts Plumbing, we believe in upfront pricing. The price we quote after your initial assessment is the price you pay, with absolutely no hidden surprises.
