Is your older home suffering from low water pressure, rusty-colored water, or frequent leaks? These are classic signs of a plumbing system that has reached the end of its lifespan. At Principle Plumbing, we specialize in whole-home repiping, replacing your failing plumbing with high-quality Copper or modern PEX piping for clean water, strong pressure, and decades of peace of mind.
Copper Piping: The Gold Standard Copper has been the standard in plumbing for over 50 years. It's a premium material known for its durability, naturally resisting bacterial growth and lasting 50-70+ years. Copper is UV resistant for outdoor use and fire resistant, making it the ultimate choice for homeowners who want proven longevity.
PEX Piping: The Modern Choice PEX (Cross-Linked Polyethylene) is a flexible, durable plastic piping that has revolutionized the plumbing industry. We specifically use high-quality Uponor (Wirsbo) PEX-A, the industry leader. PEX is significantly more affordable than copper, flexible enough to snake through walls like wire (requiring fewer holes), freeze-resistant for Illinois winters, and completely immune to rust and corrosion.
Our Non-Invasive Repiping Process: We understand that the thought of replacing pipes inside your walls can be stressful. We've refined our process to be as non-invasive as possible. We protect your floors and furniture, make small surgical cuts in drywall rather than tearing down whole walls, and run the new system alongside the old one so you're only without water for a short period on the final connection day.
After installation, we pressure test the new system to 100 PSI (higher than city pressure) to guarantee there are no leaks. We clean up thoroughly and can recommend trusted local drywall contractors to finish the surface work. With our warranty on both parts and labor, you can trust that your investment is protected.
5 Signs Your Home Needs Repiping: Repiping is a major investment, but ignoring these signs can lead to catastrophic water damage:
Low Water Pressure: As galvanized pipes corrode, rust builds up inside the line, narrowing the diameter and restricting flow like a clogged artery.
Discolored Water: If your water looks brown or yellow when you first turn on the tap, you're seeing rust from the inside of your pipes.
Frequent Leaks: If you're fixing pinhole leaks every few months, your system is failing system-wide.
Galvanized Steel Pipes: If your pipes are grey/silver and magnetic, they're galvanized steel and likely well past their expiration date.
Temperature Shock: If flushing a toilet causes someone in the shower to get scalded, your pipes are likely corroded and restricting volume.

The Principle Plumbing Repiping Advantage
Whole home repiping is a major investment. We\'ve perfected a process that delivers a 50+ year plumbing system with minimal disruption to your home and daily life.
Premium Materials Only
We use only top-tier materials: Type L Copper for traditional reliability or Uponor (Wirsbo) PEX-A with expansion fittings for modern flexibility. Both options come with manufacturer warranties and will last 50+ years. We never compromise on material quality because your repiping investment should be a one-time project that outlasts your homeownership.
Minimal Wall Damage
We don't demolish entire walls. Using strategic small access points, we snake flexible PEX through wall cavities or carefully route copper with minimal drywall removal. We run the new system alongside the old, only shutting off water briefly for final connections. This surgical approach saves you thousands in drywall repair and restoration costs.
Rigorous Pressure Testing
Before we close any walls, we pressure test your entire new plumbing system to 100 PSI—higher than typical city water pressure. The system must hold this pressure without any drop for a full test cycle, proving zero leaks exist. This industry-exceeding standard ensures you'll never have a leak behind your freshly finished walls.
Stay in Your Home
Unlike major renovations, you can remain in your home during repiping. We work room by room, ensure you have at least one working bathroom daily, and clean up thoroughly each evening. Most whole-home repiping projects complete in 2-5 days depending on home size, and you'll have water every night when we leave.

Parallel Installation Process: We run your new plumbing system alongside your old one, so you maintain water service throughout most of the project. We only shut off your main water supply for a few hours on the final day to make the final connections. This means minimal disruption to your daily routine.
Rigorous Pressure Testing: Before we activate your new system, we pressure test every line to 100 PSI—significantly higher than normal operating pressure. This ensures there are absolutely no leaks anywhere in the system. We also flush the lines thoroughly to remove any debris and ensure crystal-clear water from day one.
