Whole Home Repiping in Farmingdale, NY
If you’re a Farmingdale homeowner dealing with recurring leaks, low water pressure, rust-colored water at the tap, or pinhole failures in your copper supply lines, whole-home repiping is the long-term fix. Most of the original housing stock around Farmingdale was built between the 1950s and 1980s, which means a lot of homes are still running on galvanized steel or first-generation copper that’s well past its expected service life; which means once a system starts failing in one spot, the rest usually follows within a few years, and patch repairs stop being economical. That’s where we come in.
Apple Air Conditioning & Heating handles full home repipes across Farmingdale with licensed New York plumbers who’ve done this work on Long Island housing for more than 40 years. We’ll evaluate your current system, walk you through the material options (like PEX, copper, or a hybrid), and lay out the full scope of work, before we touch a single pipe. We also pull the permits, handle the inspections, and stagger the work so your household isn’t without water any longer than absolutely necessary.

Frequently Asked Questions About Farmingdale Repiping Service
What is a whole home repipe?
A whole home repipe is the complete replacement of your home’s water supply lines, the hot and cold pipes that carry potable water from your main shutoff to every faucet, shower, toilet, and appliance in the house. Most repipes focus on supply lines, not drain-waste-vent (DWV) pipes, which are replaced separately if they’ve also failed. The work involves running new pipes through walls, floors, and ceilings, connecting them to your existing fixtures, pressure-testing the system, and patching the wall openings.
How long does a whole home repipe take?
Most single-family repipes in Farmingdale take two to five days, depending on the size of the home, the number of bathrooms, and whether we’re working around an occupied house or a remodel in progress. We try to keep at least one bathroom and the kitchen functional through most of the work, and we’ll walk you through the daily schedule so you know what to expect each morning.
PEX or copper for a Long Island repipe?
Both work well, with different tradeoffs. PEX is more affordable per linear foot, installs faster, handles freeze events better than rigid copper, and resists the kind of corrosion you can see in older Long Island systems where original galvanized lines met newer copper. Copper has a longer track record, higher resale appeal in some markets, and doesn’t have the same UV sensitivity. We’ll lay out both options against your budget and your long-term plans for the home.
How much does whole home repiping cost?
Nationally, most current sources put whole home repiping at an average cost of $1,500 to $15,000, with most homeowners paying around $7,500, and notes that labor accounts for roughly 70% of the total. If you’re working to repipe a larger or multi-story home, the total price climbs higher toward the end of the range. The actual cost of home repiping, however, depends on the size of the house, the number of fixtures, the pipe material you choose (PEX is the most affordable, copper is the most expensive)—and how accessible your existing plumbing is behind walls and floors.
Do I need to repipe my whole house or just the failing section?
Sometimes a spot repair is enough, especially when the failure is isolated to a single pipe run or a fitting that took a freeze hit. But if your home was built before 1980 and still has galvanized steel supply lines, or if you’ve had pinhole leaks in multiple locations across copper pipes, a full repipe usually makes more sense than chasing individual failures. Galvanized supply lines in particular tend to fail in clusters once corrosion sets in, and the cost of repeated drywall repairs adds up fast.
