What is included in a repiping job
Every repipe includes the core work: inspection, old pipe removal, new copper or PEX installation, pressure testing, and fixture reconnect.
Work order
Repiping- Full system inspection: We map every supply line, check water pressure at each fixture, and run a sewer camera if needed. You get a written report showing what is failing and why repiping is the right call.
- Old pipe removal: We cut out and haul away all the old galvanized steel or failing copper. No leaving it in the walls. The old material goes with us so there is nothing left to leak later.
- New copper or PEX install: We install new copper pipe or PEX tubing with proper fittings, solder or crimp rings, and Teflon tape on threaded connections. Every joint meets Uniform Plumbing Code standards.
- Pressure test and documentation: The new system gets pressurized and held before we close anything up. You receive photos of the rough-in and the pressure test results for your records and for any future home sale.
- Fixture reconnect: Every faucet, toilet, shower valve, and water heater connection gets reconnected to the new lines. We install new supply lines and shutoff valves at each fixture as part of the job.
- Drywall patching: We patch the access points we cut. The patches are ready for paint. We do not leave open holes for you to deal with after we leave.

What repiping New Braunfels TX really involves
Repiping is invasive work, and the details matter more than the pipe brand. We map the system, test every joint, and document the rough-in before walls close. Done right once, it ends the leak cycle for decades.
Repiping New Braunfels TX means replacing the water supply lines inside your walls, under your slab, and in your attic with new copper pipe or PEX tubing. We cut out the old galvanized or failing copper, pull new lines through the same chases where we can, and tie everything back into your fixtures, water heater, and main shutoff. Every joint gets soldered or crimped to Uniform Plumbing Code (UPC) standards, then the whole system is pressure-tested before we close a single wall.
Homes built in New Braunfels before 1980 usually still have galvanized steel that has rusted from the inside out. That rust flakes off, narrows the pipe, and shows up as brown water, low water pressure, and pinhole leaks behind drywall. Add Central Texas soil movement and hard water, and copper lines that were fine ten years ago start pitting. If you have been searching for repiping in New Braunfels TX near me, that pattern is exactly what we see in Gruene, Solms, and the older streets near Downtown New Braunfels.

How our repiping process works
Every repipe follows the same five stages.
Tools and methods we use
Each method answers a different question. Together they leave very little to guess.
For scoping inside walls and under slabs to see pipe condition and confirm the route before we cut.
For making secure PEX connections with calibrated crimp rings. We test each ring with a gauge before moving on.
For clean cuts on copper pipe and soldered joints where press fittings will not fit. Standard tools on every copper repipe.
For finding hidden leaks before and after the repipe. Acoustic and thermal sensors locate slab leaks and wall leaks without demolition.

How repiping runs in New Braunfels
New Braunfels sits on a mix of slab-on-grade and pier-and-beam construction, and that changes how a repipe is done. Slab homes in River Chase and Veramendi usually get supply lines rerouted through the attic to bypass the failing under-slab pipe.
Gruene
Many homes here are pier-and-beam with original galvanized lines. Crawl space access makes repiping faster and less invasive than slab work.
Vintage Oaks
Larger custom homes with long pipe runs and multiple bathrooms. We size the system for simultaneous fixture use so pressure holds everywhere.
River Chase
Slab-on-grade construction is common. Repipes here usually reroute through the attic to bypass under-slab copper that has started pitting.

PhotoGalvanized to PEX in Gruene
Before: A 1965 pier-and-beam home had original galvanized supply lines. Water ran brown after vacations, pressure was weak at the second bathroom, and the homeowner had patched three leaks in two years.
After: We repiped the full house in PEX over four days. Water ran clear immediately, pressure at the far bathroom matched the master, and the homeowner has had zero leaks in the 18 months since.
Slab leak reroute in River Chase
Before: A slab-on-grade home had a confirmed slab leak under the living room. The homeowner was facing tunneling, foundation repair, and flooring replacement. Water bill had tripled in two months.
After: We rerouted the supply lines through the attic and interior walls, bypassing the slab entirely. No tunneling, no foundation work. The water bill dropped back to normal the first full month after the repipe.
Copper repipe for a four-unit rental
Before: A four-unit building near Downtown New Braunfels had original copper with recurring pinhole leaks. Two units had water damage, and the property manager was patching leaks every few months.
After: We repiped all four units in copper over 10 working days, staging the work so tenants stayed in place. Pressure test passed on the first try, and the building has had no supply line leaks since.
Problems repiping solves for New Braunfels homes
Old pipes fail in predictable ways. If you recognize any of these, a repipe is likely the answer.
Brown or rusty water from every tap
Rust from galvanized pipe is entering your drinking water and staining fixtures, laundry, and dishes. It will not clear up on its own.
Water pressure drops when two fixtures run
Rust and scale inside old pipe narrow the flow. You end up scheduling showers around the dishwasher and the washing machine.
Pinhole leaks keep appearing in copper
Water damage behind walls adds up fast. We repipe the failing sections or the whole house, depending on how widespread the pitting is.
Slab leak under the foundation
A slab leak can crack your foundation, warp flooring, and spike your water bill. It is one of the most expensive plumbing problems a homeowner faces.
Frozen pipe damage after a hard freeze
Central Texas freezes catch older homes off guard. Split copper lines leak when they thaw, often inside walls where you cannot see them.
Why homeowners schedule repiping here
Repiping is not a cosmetic upgrade.
Water pressure restored
Galvanized pipe can lose 40 to 60 percent of its inside diameter to rust.
No more rusty water
Brown or yellow water at the tap means the pipe itself is dissolving into your supply. New copper or PEX tubing ends that immediately.
Leaks stopped for good
Pinhole leaks in old copper and split galvanized joints are the two most common calls we run.
Higher home value
A documented repipe is a selling point in Comal County. Buyers and inspectors flag galvanized supply lines immediately.

What New Braunfels homeowners say
Our 1962 house had galvanized pipe and the water pressure was terrible. Comal Crest repiped the whole house in four days. They laid down floor protection, kept the mess contained, and had the water back on every evening. The pressure difference is night and day. Showers actually work now.
We had three pinhole leaks in two years. The third one finally convinced us to repipe. Comal Crest quoted both copper and PEX, explained the difference honestly, and we went with PEX. They pressure-tested everything before closing the walls and gave us photos of the rough-in. No leaks since.
We manage a four-unit building near downtown with original copper that was failing. Comal Crest repiped all four units over a week, worked around our tenants, and handled the drywall patching. Clean work, clear communication, and the price matched the quote exactly. We will use them again.

Comal Crest Plumbing does. We have been repiping homes across Comal County since 2010, and we handle the full job: inspection, rough-in, pressure test, fixture reconnect, and drywall patching. You do not need to coordinate a separate drywall crew. We also pull any permits the city requires and leave the paperwork with you.
A typical single-family repipe in Texas takes three to six working days. Day one is inspection and setup. Days two through four are rough-in and running new lines. Day five is pressure testing and fixture reconnect. Larger homes, slab access, or heavy drywall repair can push it to seven or eight days. You will have water back on each evening in most cases.
Yes, if your home still has galvanized steel or copper with repeated pinhole leaks. A repipe ends the cycle. It also protects your home value, since inspectors flag old supply lines during every real estate transaction in Comal County.
