Copper repiping is the premium option: Type L (thicker wall than Type M) soldered by hand, 50+ year service life, and the repiping material that adds the most resale value in the SFV market. It costs more up front than PEX but amortizes over two generations of ownership. For owner-occupied homes and homes held long-term as rentals, copper is the right choice — and doing it right means pulling the permit, sweating every joint to code, pressure-testing at 100 PSI, and handing you a signed inspection card.
What's Involved
Type L Copper Throughout
Type L has a heavier wall than Type M and is code-approved for aggressive water like LA's. Fittings are lead-free brass or copper.
Hand-Soldered Joints
Every joint sweated with lead-free solder and flux, wiped clean, visually verified. Press fittings used only where access prohibits open flame.
Minimal Drywall Patches
Route planning minimizes cutouts. Typical 1,500 sq ft home: 12–18 patches.
Permit, Inspection, Pressure Test
LADBS or local AHJ permit. 100 PSI static test held for inspection. Final signed card stays with your home.
Lifetime Workmanship Warranty
Every solder joint we make is warrantied for as long as you own the home.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why Type L instead of Type M?
Type L has thicker walls — better resistance to LA's mineral-heavy water and long-term pinhole failure. Per-foot cost difference is modest. For a repipe that should last 50+ years, Type L is the right call.
Copper or PEX for my home?
Copper for forever homes and high-end market. PEX for rentals and homes you'll sell within 10 years. Copper costs 40–60% more up front.
How much does copper repiping cost?
Typical 1,500 sq ft home: $11,000–$14,500 installed, permitted, with base drywall patching. Larger homes scale proportionally.
