Should I repair galvanized pipe or replace it?

A single spot repair on galvanized is reasonable if the rest of the pipe is in good condition. If you've had two or more pinhole leaks, or if your water pressure is noticeably weak throughout the house, full repiping is a better long-term value.

What is repiping and when is it recommended?

Repiping replaces all the original supply lines in a home — typically replacing galvanized steel with copper or PEX. It's recommended when homes show widespread low pressure, rust-colored water, multiple pinhole leaks, or galvanized pipe over 50 years old.

Can you repair copper pipes without cutting the wall?

For accessible pipes, yes. Push-to-connect (SharkBite) fittings can repair a copper pinhole without soldering — useful in tight or difficult-access locations. For pipes inside finished walls, we open the minimum access needed and patch the wall opening.
