PEX Repiping for Southern California Homes
PEX repiping replaces aging water lines with a clean, flexible system that maintains steady pressure and resists corrosion. It’s a proven, long-term solution for homes with leaks, discolored water, or weak flow. Our team installs high-quality Uponor PEX-A piping to give your home reliable water pressure and lasting performance.
When PEX Makes Sense
- Recurring leaks or pinholes in copper or galvanized lines
- Low pressure when multiple fixtures run at once
- Rusty or discolored water after pipes sit unused

What is PEX Piping?
What Is PEX Plumbing
PEX (cross linked polyethylene) is a high density, flexible plastic tube used for water supply lines in homes and commercial buildings. Unlike copper or galvanized steel, PEX piping is highly flexible, so installers use fewer fittings and joints. Fewer joints reduce leak risk and improve reliability.Why Homeowners Choose PEX Plumbing
- Durable and long lasting - built to serve for decades.
- Corrosion and scale resistant - PEX does not rust or pit like some metals.
- Flexible and versatile - handles expansion and contraction from temperature changes, which helps prevent bursts.
- Hot and cold water ready - safe and effective for whole home systems.
- Cost effective installation - fewer connections save time and labor.
What are Some of the Primary Advantages of PEX?
- Flexible and easy to install. PEX bends around corners with few fittings, so installs are faster and less invasive.
- Corrosion and scale resistant. PEX does not rust, corrode, or build scale, which helps keep water quality high.
- Cost effective. Material and labor are usually lower than copper, which makes PEX a budget friendly repipe option.
- Leak resistant connections. Fewer joints mean fewer failure points over time.
- Energy efficient. PEX holds heat better than copper on hot water runs, which can reduce energy use.
- Freeze resistant. PEX can expand and contract, so it is less likely to burst in cold weather.
What Are the Differences Between PEX Piping & Copper Piping
While both PEX and copper are excellent choices for repiping, they have key differences:
| Feature | PEX-A Piping | Copper Type L Piping |
|---|---|---|
| Material | Cross-linked polyethylene (flexible plastic, most durable grade: PEX-A) | Rigid copper tubing (Type L is thicker and stronger than Type M) |
| Installation | Installs quickly with expansion fittings; flexible runs mean fewer cuts and joints | Requires cutting, soldering, and fittings; more labor-intensive |
| Corrosion resistance | Will not corrode or scale, even in aggressive water conditions | Can pit or corrode in acidic water, shortening lifespan |
| Leak resistance | Minimal joints lower risk of leaks; expansion fittings create tight seals | More soldered joints increase leak potential over time |
| Cost | Generally 30–50% less expensive for material and labor | Higher upfront cost for both pipe and installation |
| Freeze resistance | Expands if water freezes, reducing burst risk | Rigid metal can crack or split when frozen |
| Lifespan | Tested to last 50+ years with proper installation | Can also last 50+ years, but vulnerable to corrosion in some areas |
| Water quality | No metallic taste; quieter system with less water hammer | Can impart a metallic taste; prone to “pinging” sounds when water is flowing |
If you’re looking for a cost-effective, durable, and energy-efficient plumbing upgrade, PEX is the superior choice for most homeowners.
