Water Line Repair and Repiping in Forney & Dallas
PlumbTex offers expert water line repair and repiping services to homeowners in Forney & Dallas, and surrounding areas. Your water lines are essential for supplying clean water to every fixture and appliance in the home, and when something goes wrong—whether it’s a hidden leak, burst pipe, or aging infrastructure—fast, reliable service is critical. We provide diagnostics, targeted repairs, and full-scale repiping using modern, long-lasting materials tailored to your home’s needs.
If you’re dealing with low water pressure, discolored water, or persistent leaks, our licensed plumbers can evaluate your water lines and recommend the best course of action to restore performance and prevent further damage.
Understanding Water Line Issues in Forney, Allen, & Dallas Homes
Water lines run throughout your home’s walls, ceilings, floors, and in some cases, beneath your foundation slab. Over time, these pipes can deteriorate due to age, water quality, soil conditions, or poor initial installation. In Forney—where shifting soils and hard water are common—problems such as pinhole leaks, corroded joints, or burst pipes occur more frequently in older properties.
Common Signs of Water Line Problems
Detecting a water line issue early is key to avoiding structural damage or water waste. Be alert for the following:
Unexplained Drop in Water Pressure
When pressure drops at faucets or appliances, it could signal a leak, mineral buildup, or a partially collapsed water line. We inspect your system to determine the cause and location of the restriction.
Discolored or Rusty Water
Brown or reddish water from taps is often due to corrosion in galvanized pipes or sediment in aging supply lines. This is common in homes built before the 1990s.
Persistent Leaks or Damp Spots
Leaks behind walls, under floors, or near the foundation may stem from deteriorating water supply lines. If you notice water stains, musty odors, or soft drywall, a hidden line may be the source.
Noisy Pipes
Banging, knocking, or whistling sounds in your plumbing may indicate pressure issues or loose joints within your water supply system.
Spikes in Your Water Bill
Unexpected increases in water usage often result from leaks in hidden or underground supply lines, particularly between your home and the water meter.
Water Line Repair Services
When only a section of your water line is damaged, PlumbTex performs localized repairs to restore full system operation without unnecessary demolition.
Pipe Leak Repair
We locate and expose the leaking pipe using acoustic sensors, infrared imaging, or direct access. The damaged section is then cut out and replaced with new PEX or copper piping, depending on your existing system. All joints are sealed and pressure-tested to ensure reliability.
Valve and Joint Repairs
Leaky or corroded shut-off valves and junctions between pipe segments can often be repaired or upgraded without replacing the full line. We use quarter-turn valves and corrosion-resistant fittings for long-term performance.
Slab and Underground Repairs
If the leak is located beneath the slab or in the main service line from the meter, we assess whether direct access or rerouting is more practical. In many Forney homes, rerouting provides a better long-term solution with less disruption.
Whole-Home Repiping Services
When water lines throughout the home are old, corroded, or prone to repeated leaks, repiping becomes the most effective option. PlumbTex provides whole-home repiping using modern, durable materials that improve performance, safety, and water quality.
When Repiping Is Recommended
- Multiple leaks have occurred in different areas of the homea
- Your home has galvanized steel or polybutylene piping
- Low water pressure is consistent throughout the house
- Water quality is poor, with visible rust or metallic taste
- You’re planning a full renovation and want to modernize infrastructure
Repiping Material Options
We install PEX and copper piping, each selected based on your home’s structure and water conditions.
PEX (Cross-linked Polyethylene)
- Flexible and adaptable to tight spaces
- Resistant to corrosion and mineral scaling
- Cost-effective and fast to install
- Ideal for crawl spaces, attics, and multi-story homes
Copper
- Long-lasting and bacteria-resistant
- Withstands high pressure and temperature
- More rigid, often preferred for exposed or high-demand systems
Our team maps your existing plumbing, isolates shut-off points, and designs a system that minimizes invasive work while maximizing reliability and code compliance.
What to Expect During Repiping
Repiping typically takes 1–3 days depending on home size. We protect your flooring and walls during access and patch all openings after installation. Once the new system is in place, we pressure-test and inspect the entire line before restoration.
Water shut-off is scheduled to minimize household disruption, and in most cases, water service is restored at the end of each workday.
