Free to homeowners in Universal City — the contractor pays us for the introduction, you never do.
The short answer
In Universal City, 53% 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.
53% of Universal City housing was built between 1970 and 1999, the window in which polybutylene supply pipe was installed and then withdrawn.
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.Universal City in numbers

What you have decides everything
Copper, galvanized steel, polybutylene, CPVC and PEX fail in different ways and on different timescales. A repipe quoted without anybody identifying the pipe is a quote for an unknown job.
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.
