Pipe Replacement Services in Point Chevalier

Many Point Chevalier homes were plumbed with galvanised steel — now 50-60 years old and corroding from the inside. A lot of homes across Point Chevalier are still running on original pipes.

The signs are hard to miss: rusty brown water, noticeably low flow, pinhole leaks appearing in walls or ceilings, and stained laundry. If you're seeing any of these, the pipes are failing — and patching won't fix corrosion from within.

A full house re-pipe is typically done in 1-2 days with minimal disruption. We plan the job to keep your water off for the shortest time possible.

Your Options

Full House Re-Pipe

Replace all galvanised pipes with copper or PEX. Modern fittings, better pressure, clean water throughout.

Partial Re-Pipe

Replace the worst sections first. Good option if budget is tight. We prioritise the most corroded runs.

Galvanised to Copper

The classic Point Chevalier re-pipe. Copper is durable, proven, and lasts 50+ years.

Galvanised to PEX

Flexible PEX piping is faster to install, fewer joints, and great for tight spaces in older Point Chevalier homes.

Signs Your Pipes Need Replacing

Rusty or brown water — galvanised pipes corroding from inside.

Low water pressure — corrosion narrows the pipe, choking flow.

Banging or rattling pipes — loose or corroded pipe fittings.

Pinhole leaks — small leaks in walls or under floors, staining ceilings.

Stained laundry or fixtures — iron stains from corroded pipes.

Pipes over 40 years old — galvanised steel has a 30-50 year lifespan.
