Water Filtration SystemsTD Plumbing Solutions repipes homes across Benbrook and Greater Fort Worth, replacing worn galvanized or copper water pipe with new PEX so the leaks stop for good.
If you're patching a new pinhole leak every few months, one more patch rarely fixes anything. Terrill Dobbs, a Texas master plumber, checks what you have and tells you plainly if a full repipe makes sense. You get the price before any wall is opened, and Hearth financing can spread the cost.
Most homes that need a repipe give warning signs first. You notice rusty water in the morning, weak showers upstairs, or the same kind of leak showing up in a new spot. That means the pipe itself is wearing out, not just one joint.
Old galvanized steel pipe rusts from the inside, and the rust colors your water after it sits overnight.
When several taps are weak, rust and scale are likely narrowing the pipes inside your walls.
Small leaks in old copper often mean the pipe wall is thin all over. Fixing one spot just moves the next leak.
Crust on copper fittings under sinks or in the attic points to slow leaks that won't heal on their own.
Bits of rust and scale break loose from old pipe and end up in your fixtures and water heater.
Open walls make a remodel the easiest time to repipe. For a purchase, knowing the pipe type helps you plan.

| Job | Typical time |
|---|---|
| One-story home | About 2 to 3 daysA typical range. Access and pipe layout change it. |
| Two-story or larger home | About 3 to 5 daysMore walls and ceilings to reach add time. |
| Pier-and-beam home | Often quicker than a slab homePipe runs under the floor, so fewer walls need opening. |
Typical ranges, not promises. Terrill tells you the real timeline once he has seen the job.
Terrill checks your pipe, your pressure and where leaks have been, then tells you whether a repipe is really the fix.
You get the price before work starts. We plan the new runs, the fewest spots to open, and when the water goes off.
New PEX (flexible plastic water pipe) goes from the main shutoff to each fixture. In pier-and-beam homes, much of it runs under the floor.
Every joint is tested under pressure before fixtures are hooked up. Terrill often sends photos or video so you have a record.

A repipe is one of the bigger plumbing jobs a home can need, so you should know the number before we start. Terrill prices the whole job up front after seeing your house. Financing through Hearth is there if you'd rather spread the cost.
More bathrooms and fixtures mean more pipe, fittings and labor.
Upstairs bathrooms take more work to reach through walls and ceilings.
A crawlspace under a pier-and-beam home can make runs easier than a slab.
Finished walls, tile and cabinets decide how many openings the job needs.
Where your city requires a permit, the fee and inspection are part of the job.
Every price is given before work starts. Larger jobs can be financed through Hearth.
Terrill Dobbs, Texas Responsible Master Plumber RMP 45333, does the work, often with his son.
You see the full price before a wall is opened. Clear upfront pricing, zero sales pressure.
If a repair will do, Terrill says so. He'd rather lose a sale than sell work you don't need.
Our workmanship warranty covers the work, and we pursue the maker's warranty on parts we install.
Terrill and his team replaced the 70-year-old water pipes in one customer's home, and that customer wrote that it went smoother than they thought possible and left no mess behind.
Many older homes across Benbrook and Fort Worth still carry galvanized steel or early copper water pipe. Our hard water leaves scale inside it year after year. North Texas clay soil swells when wet and shrinks in drought, and the house shifts just enough to stress old joints.
Pier-and-beam homes let us run new pipe through the crawlspace, which often means fewer holes in your walls. Slab homes take more planning, since pipe goes through the attic instead. Hard freezes, like the February 2021 storm, often show how weak old pipe has become.
Look for rusty water, low pressure at several taps, and leaks that keep popping up in new places. One leak is a repair. A pattern of leaks in old galvanized or copper pipe usually means the pipe is worn out. A master plumber can tell you which you have.
Most whole-house repipes today use PEX, a flexible plastic water pipe. It bends around corners, so it needs fewer joints and wall openings, and hard water scale doesn't eat it like old metal pipe. TD Plumbing Solutions has replaced old copper with PEX across Greater Fort Worth.
Most families stay home during a repipe. The water is off for parts of the day while pipe is switched over, not for the whole job. Terrill will tell you when to expect shutoffs so you can plan showers and laundry around them.
It depends on the pipe. If one fitting failed on sound pipe, a repair makes sense. If old galvanized or thin copper is leaking in several places, patches cost you more over time. Terrill will look at your pipe and tell you straight which one fits your house.
No. We open only the spots needed to reach the pipe, usually small cuts near fixtures and along runs. In pier-and-beam homes, much of the work happens from the crawlspace. Terrill shows you where openings are planned before work starts.
In many cities, a repipe needs a plumbing permit and an inspection. Rules differ from city to city, so check with yours. Where one is required, the work is permitted and inspected through the city, and that is part of the price you get up front.
Yes. TD Plumbing Solutions offers financing through Hearth, which lets you spread the cost of a bigger job like a repipe. You get the full price first, then decide whether to pay outright or apply for financing. Just ask Terrill when you get your quote.
Both can last when they're put in well. PEX costs less to install, bends around corners and stands up to hard water. Copper is rigid and can thin out over decades. For most older Fort Worth-area homes, PEX is the practical choice, and Terrill will explain why.
