Aging galvanized or polybutylene supply lines replaced with modern copper or PEX piping. End recurring leaks and restore clean, strong water flow.
Call (616) 344-5978Repiping removes failing water supply pipes and replaces them with modern materials. Many Holland homes, especially those built during the mid-1900s, have galvanized steel pipes that are corroding internally, restricting flow, discoloring water, and producing pinhole leaks. Homes built between the late 1970s and mid-1990s may have polybutylene piping, a material prone to sudden failure. Plumber Works of Holland handles partial and whole-house repiping throughout Holland and West Michigan.
Pinhole leaks appearing in multiple locations over a short period. Rusty or discolored water from both hot and cold taps. Low pressure when multiple fixtures run simultaneously. Visible corrosion on exposed pipe in basements, crawl spaces, or utility areas. If your home predates the mid-1990s and still has original supply lines, a proactive evaluation can prevent emergency failures.
The existing pipe system is assessed: material, age, condition, and accessibility. The practical differences between copper and PEX are explained so you can make an informed choice. The project is planned to minimize wall openings and disruption, piping is replaced section by section, access points are patched with drywall, and the entire system is pressure-tested before water is restored. Every joint and connection is inspected.
Repiping is a major project and it is treated as such. Plumber Works of Holland has handled repiping in Holland's range of housing styles, from historic downtown homes to lakefront properties and newer construction in Holland Township. Floors and furnishings are protected, scheduling is coordinated around your household, and communication is proactive throughout.

Two to five days for most homes. Size, layout complexity, and pipe accessibility are the main factors. Water supply is restored as quickly as possible at each stage.
Some wall access is necessary, but cuts are planned to minimize openings. Drywall patches are completed as part of the project. Coordinating with a planned renovation can further reduce the cosmetic impact.
Polybutylene degrades from chlorinated water and can fail without warning. Many insurers flag homes with polybutylene. Proactive replacement prevents unexpected flooding and potential coverage complications.
