Why Choose Hyde Park Plumbing for Home Repiping?
Walk into almost any house in Boise's North End or on the Bench built before 1960, and behind those plaster walls are galvanized steel pipes that have been corroding for 60+ years. From the outside, they look fine — maybe a little rusty at the joints. But cut one open, and you will see why your water pressure has been getting weaker every year: rust deposits have narrowed the pipe interior from the size of a nickel down to the size of a pencil. If your Boise home was built before 1990, there is a good chance your original plumbing is approaching or past its expected lifespan. Galvanized steel pipes (pre-1960 homes) corrode from the inside, restricting water flow and discoloring water. Polybutylene pipes (gray plastic, common in 1978-1995 homes) react with chlorine in municipal water and fail suddenly — one day fine, the next day flooding. Even copper supply lines develop pinhole leaks from Boise's hard water (12-17 grains per gallon) over 30-40 years. Whole-house repiping runs $4,000-$10,000 for PEX or $6,000-$15,000 for copper. Hyde Park Plumbing replaces aging pipe systems with modern PEX or copper — restoring full water pressure, eliminating discolored water, and preventing the cascading leaks that come from deteriorating pipe systems. We repipe occupied homes in 1-2 days with minimal wall opening using flexible PEX that routes through existing wall cavities.

Call (208) 871-9113PEX & Copper Options
PEX piping is flexible, freeze-resistant, and costs less. Copper is traditional and durable. Both are excellent for Boise's hard water. We help you choose the right material for your budget and preferences.
Minimal Wall Disruption
Flexible PEX routes through existing wall cavities with fewer access holes than rigid copper. We plan our repiping route to minimize drywall repair and keep your home livable during the project.
Full Pressure Restored
Old galvanized pipes lose 50-75% of their interior diameter to corrosion. After repiping, expect noticeably stronger water pressure at every faucet, shower, and appliance.
Polybutylene Specialists
Gray polybutylene pipes (1978-1995 Boise homes) fail suddenly without warning. If your home has PB pipes, replacement is not a question of if but when. We recommend replacing before it floods your basement.
Our Home Repiping Process
Whole-House Assessment
We inspect your existing pipe system, test water pressure at multiple fixtures, check water quality for discoloration or metallic taste, and map the pipe layout. We determine whether full repiping or targeted replacement is the better solution for your home. Sometimes replacing the worst sections buys you time; sometimes full repiping makes more sense long-term.
Professional Repiping
We install new PEX or copper supply lines throughout your home, connecting to each fixture. PEX is flexible, allowing us to route through existing wall cavities with fewer wall openings. PEX connections are made with crimp rings — no torches, no solder, no fire risk inside your walls. We typically complete a whole-house repipe in 1-2 days for a typical 3-bedroom Boise home. You will have water service by the end of each work day.
Testing & Restoration
We pressure test all new lines at 80 PSI to verify no leaks, verify flow at every fixture, and restore any wall openings. Your water pressure will be noticeably improved — the difference is immediate the first time you turn on your shower. You will not have to worry about pipe failures for decades.

Common Questions About Home Repiping in Boise
How much does whole-house repiping cost in Boise?
Whole-house repiping in Boise typically costs $4,000 to $12,000, depending on home size, number of fixtures, and pipe material chosen. PEX repiping is the most cost-effective option, while copper costs more but offers maximum longevity. Hyde Park Plumbing (License #PLB-J-4285) provides free repiping estimates.
What pipe materials are best for Boise homes?
PEX (cross-linked polyethylene) is the most popular choice for Boise repiping due to its flexibility, freeze resistance, and resistance to mineral buildup from hard water. Copper remains an excellent option for durability. We no longer recommend galvanized steel or polybutylene, which are common in older Boise homes.
What are the signs my home needs repiping?
Warning signs include rusty or discolored water, frequent leaks in different locations, low water pressure throughout the house, visible pipe corrosion, and pinhole leaks. Homes in Boise built before 1985 with galvanized steel or polybutylene pipes are strong candidates for repiping.
How do I prevent frozen pipes in Boise?
Insulate exposed pipes in crawlspaces, attics, and exterior walls. Keep cabinet doors open during cold snaps to allow warm air to reach pipes. Maintain thermostat at 55 degrees or higher when away. Boise temperatures can drop below zero in January and February, making freeze prevention essential for Idaho homeowners.
What is trenchless pipe repair and is it available in Boise?
Trenchless pipe repair replaces damaged underground water or sewer lines without excavating your yard. Methods include pipe bursting and cured-in-place lining. Hyde Park Plumbing offers trenchless solutions throughout the Boise area, saving your landscaping and reducing repair time from days to hours.
