Repiping in Tualatin, Oregon
When your supply pipes have reached the end of their service life — low pressure, rust-colored water, or recurring leaks in the same system — repiping is the right solution. True Flow Plumbing repiping services in Tualatin replace your old pipe system end-to-end with modern PEX, restoring full flow and pressure for decades to come.
Whole-Home Repiping in Tualatin
Tualatin's older housing stock — particularly the 1970s and early 1980s construction near downtown — has galvanized steel supply lines that are now at or past the end of their service life. Galvanized pipe accumulates iron oxide on the interior over decades, progressively reducing flow and eventually rusting through entirely. When pressure drops throughout the house, water discolors, or multiple fixtures have weak flow simultaneously, it's usually time to repipe.
🔧 Full Supply Line Replacement
We replace all supply lines — hot and cold — from the main shutoff to every fixture in the house. New PEX-A replaces your aging galvanized steel with a system rated for 50+ years.
🏠 PEX-A Installation
PEX-A is the highest-grade residential pipe available — flexible enough to snake through walls, resistant to freeze damage, and corrosion-proof. We use expansion fittings for the strongest possible connections.
💧 Pressure Testing
Before we restore water service, the new system is pressure-tested to confirm every connection is leak-free. We don't consider the job done until it passes.
🔩 Shutoff Valve Replacement
Repiping is the right time to replace aged shutoff valves throughout the house — angle stops under sinks, supply valves to toilets, and the main shutoff if needed.
🛁 Fixture Reconnection
All sinks, toilets, tubs, showers, the dishwasher, washing machine, and refrigerator water line are reconnected to the new supply system.
🏠 Drywall Coordination
We work neatly and minimize the number of access points. Drywall patching is either done by us or coordinated with your contractor after the plumbing is complete.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I know if my Tualatin home needs repiping?
The clearest signs are low water pressure throughout the house, rust-colored or brown water at multiple fixtures, frequent pinhole leaks in the same pipe system, and visible corrosion on exposed pipes. In Tualatin's 1980s–2000s construction, galvanized steel pipe is the most common material at end-of-life. If you're seeing more than one of these signs, a repipe assessment is the right next step.
How long does repiping a Tualatin home take?
Most single-family homes in Tualatin can be repiped in 2–3 days. We run new PEX supply lines throughout the house, connect them to all fixtures and appliances, and do a final pressure test before restoring water service. Drywall patching is a separate phase that follows the plumbing work.
What pipe material do you use for repiping in Tualatin?
We repipe with PEX-A (cross-linked polyethylene) — the most flexible and freeze-resistant PEX type available. PEX is significantly more durable than the galvanized steel it replaces, resistant to corrosion, and rated for 50+ years of residential service. We use expansion-style PEX fittings, which create a stronger connection than crimp or clamp methods.
