Ares Plumbing & HVAC replaces failing water supply lines in Wasatch Front homes with PEX or copper. Repiping makes sense when a house has galvanized steel pipe, typically installed before the 1960s, or grey polybutylene pipe, used from the late 1970s to the mid-1990s, and is showing low pressure, rusty water or repeated leaks.

Signs you need it
- Low water pressure throughout the house
- Rusty or discolored water, especially first thing in the morning
- Repeated pinhole leaks
- Grey plastic (polybutylene) or threaded steel (galvanized) supply pipe
What we do
- Confirm pipe material and condition before recommending anything
- Lay out a plan that keeps wall and ceiling cuts to a minimum
- Install new PEX or copper supply lines with new shutoff valves
- Pull the permit, pressure test, and pass inspection
What is different in Utah
Galvanized pipe is common in the older parts of Salt Lake City, Ogden, Provo, Murray and Bountiful. Hard water speeds up the internal scale and corrosion that chokes it off.
Whole-Home Repiping cost
Typical range: $6,000–$15,000 for most homes, depending on size and access. This is an estimate for typical Wasatch Front homes. Your written quote is the actual price. 0% financing options are available, subject to credit approval.
Repair and diagnostic visits start with a $79 service call fee, which is credited toward the repair when you go ahead. Quotes on replacements and installs are free.

Frequently asked questions
PEX or copper?
Both are approved and both last. PEX costs less, installs with fewer wall openings and tolerates freezing better. Copper costs more and is preferred by some homeowners. We quote either.
How long does a repipe take?
Most homes take two to five days, and water is typically back on each evening.
Do you have to tear out walls?
No. We cut access openings where needed rather than removing whole walls. We will tell you before we start how many openings to expect and who patches them.
