Free to homeowners in Hobart — the contractor pays us for the introduction, you never do.
The short answer
In Hobart, 37% of homes date from 1970 to 1999. Whether a repipe is the right answer depends on which pipe is actually behind the walls, and that has to be identified rather than assumed from the year.
Source: US Census Bureau, American Community Survey, table B25034, five-year estimates. A margin of error is published alongside every estimate.
Repiping is a question of what was installed, not how old a house looks. 37% of Hobart homes were built in the 1970-1999 window when that question matters most.
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.Hobart in numbers

A partial repipe is a real option
Replacing the runs that are reachable, and leaving the rest, is often the proportionate answer. It is also the one least often offered, because it is worth less to the person quoting.
Polybutylene is the one with a history
Gray plastic supply pipe installed between roughly 1978 and 1995 was the subject of a class action that has long since closed. Its presence is not an emergency; it is a reason to plan rather than to wait for a failure.
