Whole house or one run

Our repiping coverage in South Carolina runs to 418 ZIP codes in 274 cities. Across a state of both older cities and newer subdivisions the pipe in the wall ranges from galvanized steel to PEX within a few miles, and the material is what decides whether a repipe is urgent or merely due.

What this site is

PipeRenew is a referral service, not a contractor. We connect homeowners with independent contractors. Contractors are required to hold whatever credential their state or municipality demands, and replacing a water distribution system is a permitted alteration nearly everywhere — ask to see the permit. We carry out no work, we sell no materials, we do not set prices, and we never charge homeowners anything — the contractors in our network pay us when we route them a call. Nothing here is legal advice about any claim.

Checking a credential in South Carolina

South Carolina licenses are issued by the South Carolina Residential Builders Commission, Department of Labor, Licensing and Regulation, which publishes a public search you can use before work begins. South Carolina requires a residential plumber license for work over $500, according to the Commission.

What that coverage looks like

South Carolina coverage runs to 418 ZIP codes across 41 counties, Lexington County contributing 49. A repipe is a multi-day job and the scheduling is not like a leak call; across a footprint this size it is worth getting the quote and the scope settled well before the pipe forces the issue.

How a repiping job goes

Repiping is decided by material and failure mode, not by age. Galvanized steel closes up from the inside and shows as falling pressure; polybutylene fails at the fittings; copper pinholes where the water is aggressive. Each points at a different scope of work, and a house with one bad run does not necessarily need the whole supply replaced.

What the call asks about repiping

  • What the existing pipe is made of — galvanized steel, copper, polybutylene or plastic.
  • Whether the trouble is pressure, color, pinhole leaks, or all three.
  • Whether the house has a basement or crawl space the run can be reached from.

Every South Carolina city we route in

107 cities, ordered by the share of homes built between 1970 and 1999. Whole-house repiping is a question of when the house was built, not of how big the town is. Each page carries that city’s own numbers and the ZIP codes we route there.

Before you call

Repiping is decided by what the existing pipe is made of and how it is failing, not by its age alone. The pages above set out the difference.
