How do I know if my home needs repiping?

Signs your home may need repiping include frequent pipe leaks, discoloured or rust-coloured water, low water pressure throughout the home, visible corrosion on exposed pipes, pipes that are over 50 years old, or a home still on original galvanised or polybutylene pipes. A Cregger plumber can inspect your plumbing system and advise whether spot repairs or full repiping is the right solution.

What pipe materials does Cregger use for repiping?

Cregger's licensed plumbers use modern, code-compliant pipe materials for repiping projects including copper, CPVC, and PEX depending on the application, budget, and local code requirements. We will recommend the most appropriate material for your home and explain the advantages of each option.

How long does a whole-home repipe take?

The timeline for a whole-home repipe depends on the size of the home and the complexity of the existing plumbing system. Most residential repiping projects take between 2 and 5 days. Cregger's plumbers work to minimise disruption and restore water service as quickly as possible during the process.

Does Cregger offer financing for repiping?

Yes. Cregger offers financing options for whole-home repiping projects. Contact us at 248-543-1190 or visit our financing page to learn about available plans and eligibility.

I had a basement drain backup and called several “emergency” plumbers that told me they couldn’t make it out at all today, or it would have to be well after regular hours at a grossly inflated price. Dominick from Cregger really came through for us. He arrived promptly (in about an hour), was professional, knowledgeable and quickly solved the issue. I’m grateful I didn’t have to rearrange my schedule last minute to deal with this. Thank you!

He was an amazing technician, very knowledgeable. Came right over and fixed the problem fast and had me warming back up in no time. I’m definitely impressed and would recommend him to anyone needing their furnace repaired.

We called in the morning with a shower issue and they had a plumber out before noon. We were shocked they could do the job the same day. Josh did a great job converting our leaking three-handle shower to a new single handler. He also replaced the old galvanized pipes with copper.

Dominick was friendly, knowledgeable, and solved our plumbing issues quickly. This is the second time we’ve used Cregger and, while I hope we won’t have any other plumbing issues soon, Cregger will be our first call if we do.
