Price to repipe a whole home in San Antonio
- Low: $15,000
- Average: $30,000
- High: $45,000
What impacts that price range?
Your whole-home repiping cost depends on:
- Size of your home. The more stories you have, the more your repiping will cost.
- Number of fixtures and lines. Your repiping cost increases with the number of fixtures and pipelines you have.
- Access to plumbing. The easier your plumbing is to access, the lower your repiping cost will be. Your repiping cost will increase if:
- Your home has a slab foundation (no crawlspace)
- You have a small crawlspace and/or attic that's difficult to navigate
- Your plumber needs to cut into a lot of walls or ceilings
- Material of new pipe. Copper will be more expensive to replace than CPVC (chlorinated poly-vinyl chloride) and PEX (cross-linked polyethylene). Your plumber will be able to tell you the pros and cons of each material.
- Local permit fees. San Antonio requires plumbing contractors to pull permits before they begin repiping a home. There's normally a fee to pull a permit, which can raise your repiping cost.
Price to repipe a single line in San Antonio
- Low: $1,800
- Average: $3,200
- High: $4,200
What impacts that price range?
The cost to repipe a single line depends on:
- Length and diameter of pipe that needs replaced. The longer and larger the pipe, the more you'll pay to replace it.
- Pipe material. CPVC and PEX piping will cost less than copper.
- Whether your home insurance will cover the repiping. Most insurance companies will cover repiping to repair a slab leak, but not as a preventative measure. Check with your insurance agent to find out what your insurance covers.
- Local permit fees. If your plumber has to pull permits for the repiping, the fees to do so will raise your overall cost.
