Professional Repiping Services
Repiping for Utah Homeowners
Preserve and increase the value of your home with expert repiping from Keemer Plumbing. Outdated copper, polybutylene, and galvanized pipes break down over time and can cause costly problems when they fail. Homeowners, especially those with older houses, are susceptible to these piping problems and can prevent hundreds to thousands of dollars of damage with professional repiping.
Keemer Plumbing offers free estimates to inspect your plumbing for signs of potential deterioration, and is proud to serve homeowners along the Wasatch Front and Salt Lake City Metro area. If you believe your home would benefit from repiping, call or text us 801.448.0762 for your free estimate!
Why Repipe Your Home
Many homes use galvanized, copper or polybutylene pipes which break down over time. Deteriorated pipes put rust and other sediments into your water, reduce your water pressure, and can cause major damage to your plumbing system and home. Old pipes are also prone to splitting, cracking, or otherwise failing, particularly in cold weather. Repiping your home with pex pipes can not only improve the quality of your water, but also save you from costly repairs.
Common Problems from Old Pipes
- Reduced or slow water flow
- Buildup of sediment
- Health issues due to rust and sediment in the water
- Rusted galvanized pipes
- Split polybutylene pipes
- Ruptured, split, or corroded copper pipes
Potential Problems with Copper Pipes
It’s commonly believed that copper pipes are reliable and less prone to leaking and many homeowners opt to install them. However, copper piping is susceptible to splitting under pressure, particularly when the water inside them freezes. If your home has copper pipes, we recommend shutting off water to your home when you leave for any extended duration, especially in the winter months. If this is not an option or if you are looking for a more reliable piping solution, we recommend pex piping.
Copper Pipes and Corrosion
In addition to splitting under pressure or during freezes, copper pipes also eventually corrode. This corrosion weakens the pipe and makes leaks and pipe failure more likely. greenish-blue coloring or white sediment build up on your copper piping are signs of corrosion, and a good indication that your home may need repiping soon. Contact Keemer Plumbing today and update your old pipes to protect your home from a plumbing emergency.
Polybutylene Pipes & Repiping
Also called gray pipe or Poly-B, polybutylene piping was common in home construction from the 1970s to the mid 1990s. However, this piping is prone to fail and is no longer a popular piping solution due to its unreliability. Exposure to chlorinated water and high temperatures makes polybutylene pipe brittle and easy to crack or rupture, and the copper fittings often leak and corrode. Since the damage to these pipes often occurs internally, you may have no warning before polybutylene pipes fail catastrophically. If your home has polybutylene piping, contact Keemer Plumbing for a safer, more reliable, and cost-effective solution.
Repipe with Pex
Looking for a clean and long lasting piping alternative for your home? PEX (cross-linked polyethylene) piping is the go-to plumbing solution for your water system. Made of a stable, flexible plastic, PEX piping cannot rust or corrode, and resists internal deterioration. Designed to handle both higher water pressures and a wide range of water temperatures, PEX piping is a reliable solution to the problems posed by galvanized, copper, and polybutylene piping. Ready to upgrade your home to the industry standard in quality, safety, and reliability? Contact Keemer Plumbing today to see how a PEX piping can transform the water in your home!

WHAT OUR CUSTOMERS SAY ABOUT US
Very knowledgeable and knows his stuff would recommend him to anyone thank you so much again
Mario
Excellent communication and repiping process by Jon and the Keemer Plumbing team. We had a full re-pipe due to Poly B and they were able to complete the full repipe within the timeframe presented. They were very clear about pricing, possible upgrades, critical details and potential issues throughout the process. In addition, every referall they gave for electrical and drywall finishing work has also been excellent to work with.
We had a minor concern (unrelated to the repiping process other than perhaps the entire system was much more efficient than the prior, so we were not used to it) and Patrick, the president of the company, personally came out to verify everything was running correctly, which, to me, says a lot about their commitment to their clients and upholding quality of services.
I absolutely recommend them for any plumbing needs.

Thank you so much for a great job! Melissa and Shirl

They came in looked at the areas they would be working in, layed down covers to walk on while going in and out, went over what they were going to do. Answered any question we asked, and they stayed on task. We are very impressed. And we will recommend them to our family and friends.

Keemer Plumbing did a repipe on our 1950’s home among other things. We shopped around quite a bit and so glad we decided to go with this business. Super professional team, great quality work, always responsive, on time. It was a big project and they did a fantastic job overall.
Updating to reflect their most recent work. We discovered a gas leak, Keemer came out to fix their mistake. They had to cut some dry wall but said someone would contact us in the next few days. Over a week has passed no one has reached out and when w reached out
They didn’t have a record..
