Expansion-type PEX-A

PEX-A Repiping for Houston Homes

We install expansion-type PEX-A and nothing else. It's flexible, so it flexes instead of splitting when the temperature drops. It doesn't corrode, it shrugs off chlorine and scale, and it's the pipe that came through Houston's hard freezes intact when copper and CPVC were bursting.

  • Uponor-certified installers
  • Won't corrode, pit, or scale like metal
  • Freeze-resistant — flexes instead of splitting
  • Most repipes done in 1–2 days

Why PEX-A

Why we don't install anything else

Galvanized steel was standard from the 1940s to the 1960s. The zinc lining breaks down, corrodes, and can leach lead into your water — and it chokes your pressure as it scales up inside. Copper pits and splits in a freeze. PEX-A does none of that. It doesn't contain lead, it handles acidic water, and it resists chlorine and scaling. There are cheaper PEX types out there; expansion-type PEX-A is the one we trust in a wall for 25 years.

  • Expansion-type PEX-A — the most durable PEX we can put in a wall
  • Freeze-resistant: it flexes under pressure instead of cracking
  • No corrosion, no rust, no pitting like galvanized or copper
  • Resists chlorine and scale, so your pressure and water quality hold up
  • Lead-free — unlike the old galvanized lines it replaces
  • Installed by Uponor-certified plumbers, to spec
  • Backed by a 25-year parts-and-labor warranty
How it works

How your repipe goes

1

Free in-home inspection

A licensed plumber walks your whole system, checks your pipe material and pressure, and finds the real problem — not just the symptom. You get honest pricing on the spot.

2

We open small access points

We cut clean, small openings in the walls and ceilings where we need them. We never tear out whole walls, and whatever we open, we put back.

3

New PEX-A goes in

We run new expansion-type PEX-A to every fixture, connect it up, and pressure-test the system for leaks before it goes behind the wall. Your water stays on each evening.

4

Patch, clean up, and warranty

We patch the drywall back to the best condition possible, walk you through the work, and hand you a 25-year warranty on parts and labor.

“Could not recommend Lance more for plumbing needs. We used Lance for a whole house repipe, new water heaters, and toilet replacement. From the very beginning Lance was responsive, informative, and easy to work with. He explained the job thoroughly, gave us a very competitive quote, and provided a great experience from start to finish. Highly recommend!”

Questions for us

PEX Repiping FAQ

What kind of pipe do you use?
Expansion-type PEX-A, only. It stands up to corrosion, chlorine, and scale far better than copper, and it flexes in a cold snap instead of splitting.
Why replace galvanized pipe?
Galvanized steel lines were common in homes built from the 1940s to the 1960s. The zinc lining corrodes over time, chokes your water pressure, and can leach small amounts of lead as it breaks down. PEX-A is lead-free and won’t corrode.
Will you have to tear out my walls?
No. We cut small access points where we need them and never remove entire walls. Every home is different, but the process is clean and turnkey — whatever we open, we put back to the best condition possible.
How long does a PEX repipe take?
Most homes are done in one to two days. Your water is back on every evening while we work, so the disruption stays minimal.
Is PEX-A safe for drinking water?
Yes. PEX-A is lead-free, holds up to acidic water, and resists chlorine and scaling — which is more than the old galvanized lines it replaces can say.
