Low water pressure, rusty water or recurring leaks are signs of failing pipes. We replace old galvanized and corroded lines with durable copper or PEX.
Older New York homes and buildings often still run on original galvanized steel piping, which corrodes from the inside out over decades. Once corrosion sets in, patch repairs become a losing battle. 5Star Plumbing Solutions specializes in whole-home and partial repiping using code-compliant copper or PEX, planned to minimize wall and ceiling disruption and restore full water pressure throughout your home.
Copper and PEX resist corrosion far longer than aging galvanized steel piping.
Removing decades of internal corrosion means stronger, more consistent flow throughout the home.
All repiping is installed and pressure-tested to current New York plumbing code.
We map your existing piping and identify corrosion, leaks and low-pressure points.
You get a clear scope — full or partial repipe — with a fixed price and timeline.
We access pipes with minimal disruption and protect floors, walls and belongings.
Every line is pressure-tested before we patch access points and clean the site.
Warning signs include discolored or rusty water, frequent pinhole leaks, low water pressure, and visible corrosion on exposed pipes — like the deteriorated pipe interior we often find during inspections.
Most single-family homes take 2–4 days depending on size and pipe accessibility. We phase the work to keep water service running as much as possible.
In most cases, yes, at strategic access points — we plan cuts carefully and can coordinate patch and paint referrals afterward.
Both are excellent, code-approved options. Copper is highly durable and resists bacteria; PEX is flexible and often faster to install. We'll recommend the right fit for your home and budget.
