Deer Valley Pipe Problems
Homes near the Deer Valley Airport and along the I-17 date from the 1970s and 1980s. Many have copper supply lines under the slab that are now over forty years old. Pinhole leaks, especially on hot water lines, are common at that age.
Newer homes further north have PEX or CPVC, where fitting failures are the more likely issue.
And across Deer Valley, the water service line from the meter to the house sits in rocky soil and caliche, where shifting rock can damage it over time.
Rerouting Slab Lines
When a copper line under the slab leaks for the second or third time, repairing it again through the floor starts to make less sense. Rerouting abandons the old line under the concrete and runs a new one through the attic and walls. It avoids breaking tile, and the new line is easy to access in the future.
For homes with multiple slab leaks, a partial or whole house repipe may be the best value. We look at your leak history and the condition of the pipe, and give you options at different levels.
Replacing the Water Service Line
Replacing a buried service line in Deer Valley means digging through rock and caliche. We locate the line and any leak first so the trench goes exactly where it needs to. The new line, typically PEX, runs from the meter to the house with a new main shutoff.
We also test water pressure and replace failing pressure regulators, since high pressure is common in parts of north Phoenix. See our main Peoria repiping page for more on materials, and leak detection in Deer Valley for finding leaks first.
Planning Around Your Home
A repipe or reroute in a Deer Valley home is planned around how the house is built. In single-story homes, lines usually run through the attic and drop into interior walls at each fixture. In two-story homes, we plan vertical runs through closets, chases and interior walls to keep openings small.
We walk the house with you before starting, show you where we plan to open walls, and explain how long each area will be affected. We protect floors and furniture, and we plan the work so water is back on most evenings.
Hot Water Lines First
In many 1970s and 1980s Deer Valley homes, the hot water lines under the slab fail first. If you have had one or two hot water slab leaks, rerouting just the hot side is a common, cost-effective option.
