Repiping Plumbing Services
What’s Involved In A Whole-House Re-Pipe
Repiping a home involves replacing the existing plumbing pipes with new pipes. This is typically done when the existing pipes are old, damaged, or inadequate for the needs of the home. Repiping can be a complex and involved process, and typically involves the following steps:
- The first step is to assess the existing plumbing system and determine the scope of the repiping project. This can involve conducting a visual inspection of the pipes, as well as performing pressure tests and other diagnostic techniques.
- The next step is to plan the repiping project, including the type and size of the new pipes, the layout of the new plumbing system, and any necessary modifications to the home’s structure. The plumber will also need to obtain the necessary permits and approvals from local authorities.
- The third step is to prepare the home for the repiping project. This can involve moving furniture and other items out of the way, protecting floors and walls from damage, and making any necessary structural modifications to the home.
- The fourth step is to begin the repiping work. This can involve removing the old pipes, installing the new pipes, and making any necessary connections and fittings. The plumber will use specialized tools and equipment to complete the work.
- The final step is to test the new plumbing system and ensure that it is functioning properly. The plumber will turn on the water supply and check for any leaks or other issues. Once the system has been tested and approved, the plumber will clean up the work area and restore the home to its original condition.
Repiping a home can be a complex and involved process, but it can provide numerous benefits, such as improved water flow, increased water pressure, and reduced risk of leaks and other plumbing problems.
Different Types Of Plumbing Pipes
PEX, copper, and PVC are all materials that are commonly used in plumbing pipes. PEX, which stands for cross-linked polyethylene, is a flexible plastic material that is often used in residential plumbing systems. PEX pipes are durable, resistant to corrosion and chemicals, and can withstand a wide range of temperatures. They are also easy to install, making them a popular choice for residential plumbing.
Copper pipes are made from copper, a highly durable and corrosion-resistant metal. Copper pipes are often used in residential and commercial plumbing systems, as they are strong and can withstand high water pressures. Copper pipes are also resistant to bacteria, making them a good choice for drinking water systems.
PVC, or polyvinyl chloride, is a type of plastic that is commonly used in plumbing pipes. PVC pipes are lightweight, easy to install, and resistant to corrosion. They are often used in residential plumbing systems, as well as for drainage and waste systems.
In general, each of these materials has its own advantages and disadvantages, and the best choice will depend on the specific needs of the plumbing system. A professional plumber can provide advice and guidance on which type of plumbing pipe is best for your situation.

Magnificent indeed. Life savers.
Pipe going to my heater started to leak on a Saturday. Called a few places around and soonest appointment was Monday, which obviously is not going to work.
Magnificent was able to send someone in 20 minutes. Job done in 30 minutes or so.

Transparent pricing, clear communication, and quality service. Called, and was able to easily schedule a free estimate for a CCTV inspection, and from there was able to coordinate the work. I especially value their timelines as I needed to also coordinate with Castro Valley sanitation (CVSan) to ensure the inspector would also be there at the time of work.
Great to work with, would recommend.

Contacted them yesterday and they were available today at 1pm. They arrived on time and determined all I needed was to tighten a loose screw. Didn't charge me and was very professional. I had several plumbers within my contact list and all of them have been deleted, but Magnificent Plumbing. Great experience!

From the positive reviews on Yelp, I reached out to inquire about replacing the valves inside the toilet tank. Julio arrived as scheduled and assessed that the parts & repairs would cost half as what a new more energy efficient toilet would cost because the toilet was positioned under a counter top and would need to be pulled out. The toilet was over 25 yrs old and would I like to take advantage of a promotion for a new Toto toilet. The price was right for me so I agreed. Julio and a co-worker returned as scheduled the following day for the installation that was excellent! I highly recommend this company!

WHY WASTE YOUR TIME?!? Call MAGNIFICENT ASAP!!!! I am a realtor and needed a sewer and pipe inspection done for the house my clients are closing on. They answered and set an appointment with me in 4th of July! Awesome points for that. Showed up and knocked out the work. Renee, the technician we were blessed with was extremely knowledgeable and respectful about being clean in and out of the house. Airdropped me videos asap and gave detailed explanations about any issues we did see. I really appreciate Magnificent Plumbing and hope to work with them again soon.

We've called them twice on short-notice to get a clogged sewer line cleared, and both times we got them here in ~12 hours or less. Their prices are fair, availability and responsiveness excellent, and they've taken care of us quickly in unfortunate circumstances.

My water heater broke down over the weekend. On Sunday afternoon, I called the 24/7 help line. Connected with a staff member who scheduled me for an appointment first thing Monday morning. By 1 pm on Monday, my new water heater was installed and operating beautifully. The Magnificent Plumbing service men were prompt, polite and informative. I could not have asked for better and more timely customer service. Great company!

We have worked with Magnificent Plumbing a few times and appreciate their prompt and thorough service!
Three years ago I had a plumber fix a leak under the sink. He surveyed our pipes and stated" all of your old pipes need to be replaced." I called Magnificent Plumbing for a second opinion.Renee, looked at our pipes and said " you're 86% good. . just some small recommendations".Magnificent has been our plumbing service ever since.This company is a gem. Renee and Edgar are skilled and reliable. Problems get fixed. Pricing is fair and reasonable.Good service. Good people.
Rene and crew did a great job with performing a trenchless sewer line replacement with minimal disturbance to the landscaping and no broken concrete. They handled all communication with the city, including permits, and were able to do the work without my involvement. As a courtesy, Sergio hydro-jetted the storm water line to help unclog a drain in the atrium. They provided a lower cost than the competition while also providing great service. They are truly magnificent.
Magnificent Plumbing is awesome! I am a repeat customer. Just today, I received their help to unclog our main sewer line. Earlier this year in Jan, they also fixed a plumbing issue too.I like them for following reasons:--Rene and their team are honest--Reliable--On time--Very responsiveRene is the owner and he's great. Rest of his team who actually do the plumbing work is great too (like Sergio and Edgar).
Very happy with the work Magnificent Plumbing has done for us. They’ve installed new faucets in all of our bathrooms, replaced a toilet and fixed a leak in the kitchen sink. They are easy to reach, come on time and do great work. Definitely recommend.
I manage several homeowners associations and Magnificent Plumbing has provided excellent service and competitive pricing. Managing homeowners association I deal not just with one individual homeowner but with board members and all of the members of the property and I would highly recommend Magnificent Plumbing for your HOA needs or your individual needs.
I have been using Magnificent Plumbers for many years. They are extremely prompt and efficient. All of the plumbers I have worked with have been courteous as well as very knowledgeable. They explained my options and risks and benefits of each. I am disappointed that they have now started charging 3% for credit cards!

Magnificent Plumbing is one of my many vendors whom I can rely on day after day. They have a team of skilled plumbers who can do much more than just plumbing. I have used them for electrical, demolition, restoration, and sheetrock work. I know with Magnificent Plumbing the job will be completed in a timely manner and done right. The crew is responsible and communicate very well with myself and my Maintenace team. I am so happy to have found them.
Great job by the plumber. I was struggling hard to put a new toilet flange as was my fold toilet flange got rusted and then broken. I put a soft material around the PVC pipe and the screws were coming off and they are not holding strong to the basement. Plumber was very professional. Understood the problem and provided the exact solution that was needed for my problem.
The technician from Magnificent plumbing was great. The company came referred from my friend. They set my appointment according to my hectic schedule and, though they were a bit delayed from the time frame they offered, they called and texted to keep me updated. Upon arrival the technician was friendly and professional. He addressed our issue quickly and even checked out another plumbing issue we had in a different bathroom. I will definitely be calling Magnificent Plumbing if I have any other issue and letting my friends know too.
