We understand that dealing with aging plumbing in your older Seattle home or building can be a real hassle.

Our seasoned team of copper repipe specialists have been proudly serving the Greater Seattle, Eastside and surrounding area since 1995, planning and executing successful repiping projects for homes and businesses alike.

PEX vs Copper Piping

When determining the best material for repiping your plumbing, it’s important to consider your options. PEX (cross-linked polyethylene) is a popular and durable choice known for its reliability.

PEX doesn’t rust, and offers better insulation compared to copper piping.

The “winner” when it comes to PEX piping vs copper ultimately depends on your unique situation – factors like local building codes, water quality, and your specific budget and needs will all play a role. That’s why we always begin with a thorough assessment.

As part of our water line services in Seattle, our experienced team will carefully inspect your property, listen to your goals, and review your options in depth. From there, we’ll provide our professional recommendation on the best piping material for your home or business.

Bill icon, icon Ben's Plumbing
Cost

Copper piping does indeed tend to have a higher upfront cost compared to some other options like PEX. However, we believe the long-term benefits and reliability of copper make it a worthwhile investment.

Flexibility

Copper is a less flexible material than options like PEX, meaning it requires more fittings and labor to navigate bends, turns, and connections in your plumbing system.

Frequently Asked Questions
How long do copper pipes last in a home?

One of the key benefits of choosing copper for your home’s plumbing is the incredible lifespan of the material. When properly installed and maintained, these pipes can reliably serve your home for up to 50 years or more.

We want you to feel confident that your repiping investment will stand the test of time. That’s why we offer an optional maintenance plan tailored specifically to keeping your copper plumbing in top shape for the long haul.

Does repiping a house add value?

When it comes to repiping your home with durable copper, the benefits may not always be direct, but they can certainly add significant value over time.

One of the key indirect ways copper repiping can boost your home’s worth is through increased efficiency and reduced maintenance costs. By replacing aging, problematic plumbing, you’re investing in a reliable, long-lasting system that won’t be plagued by the constant leaks, bursts, and repairs that can eat away at your budget.

Over the years, the money you save by avoiding those unexpected plumbing emergencies and headaches can really add up. And of course, a modernized, worry-free plumbing system is an attractive selling point that potential buyers will certainly appreciate.

How much more does it cost to repipe with copper?

Have used this service a number of times. This weekend my water heater started leaking and since it was almost 18 years old, clearly needed replacing. Did not have time for multiple estimates but I got two estimates. Ben's crew came out on a Sunday morning early and finished in a timely fashion. They even came in under their original estimate. The other estimate was several hundred dollars more and would have Ben several days later. I am very happy with the service and the water heater heats up faster than my old one.

Our water heater decided to start leaking at 3pm on a Friday and the team at Ben's Plumbing got back to me quickly, got me a bid that wasnt outrageous, and scheduled me for their first slot on Monday morning. The installers arrived on time, were quick, thoughtful, and did great work. I'd totally recommend Ben's Plumbing to anyone.

Your technician arrived, got right to work. He replaced an outside faucet and reset my regulator so that I now have the proper water pressure throughout the house. I appreciated that he was very informative with all of my questions. I would use Ben's Plumbing again in the future!

"Excellent experience! I had a backed up line, and Nick came out and did a thorough job. He explained the situation in laymen's terminology, showed me the issues via video, and solved the problem. I would definitely recommend him to others"

These guys were just incredible. We had kind of a tricky issue with the plumbing under a toilet. We checked three other plumbers and got quotes ranging from $2700 - $4200. And that was just to cut a lead pipe, replace it with modern materials and mount the toilet on a new ring/grease fitting. All the bids included some strange tinker toy like plumbing routing to fix the problem. One plumber suggested that we cut a hole into a plaster wall to gain access to the pipes! Ben's plumbing came in at $1200 and that included a brand new toilet! No strange rerouting of the plumbing. Just an in place repair. The plumber, Nic Huse, was unbelievably competent and efficient. He told us what he intended to do and just...did it. In about 2.5 hours. No fuss, no muss. If I could give these guys six stars out of five, I would.

"I hired Ben's to take care of the plumbing for two bathroom fluffs in our home - the first visit involved removing the old faucets and the second visit was to install new faucets and a (tricky) Kohler Reach toilet. I can't remember the first plumber's name, but Nick did the installs and they were both great to work with"

We've used Ben's Plumbing for the last ten years or so. Some times it's been for planned work as part of a remodel and several times they've been for emergencies like a burst water tank. Each interaction has been very positive - good communication, thorough follow-through, personal service, and trustworthy. It's great to have a local company that's been so responsive and reliable over the years. (Including this morning's unexpected call for help!) Thank you!

We needed someone to come out right away. They traveled to our house in practically Renton from Ballard to replace a pipe that was spraying water in the crawl space. They were professional, responsive, thorough and friendly.
