The cost of replacing pipes in your house, mostly known as re-piping, will vary greatly depending on the extent of the job, the number of pipes needed, and the type of plumbing you choose. Re-piping a single sink costs between $350 and $500, but re-piping your entire house costs between $1,500 and $15,000. On average, homeowners nationwide pay an average of $7,500.
If you need to re-pipe a room or your whole property, don’t hesitate to contact Switline Plumbing for an effective and prompt response throughout the Treasure Coast.
Various types of pipes are used in plumbing services. However, they can be divided into two main groups: plastic (PVC, PEX CPVC) and metal piping. Metal pipes are generally more expensive than plastic ones, but this also depends on the type of metal you’re quoting for. For instance, while copper is usually costlier than PVC, other metals, such as galvanized steel and steel, can be more cost-competitive with PVC.
At Swiftline Plumbing, we specialize in different types of pipes and can handle any re-pipe job you need. Visit our website to learn more about our services and schedule your appointment.
The lifespan of your plumbing system depends mainly on the material used, but other factors, such as regular maintenance, location, and water quality, can also affect it. Typically, brass, cast iron, and galvanized steel last up to 80 years, copper lasts between 70 and 80 years, and PVC often lasts between 24 and 50 years before needing to call plumbing services to re-pipe your house.

Homes generally have three main plumbing systems: water supply, drainage, and vent.
The water supply system brings clean water into your home, while the drainage system removes all the wastewater and sends it to the sewage system or your septic tank. The vent system is less known, but it regulates air pressure inside your plumbing system, preventing gases and foul odors from wastewater from entering your house.
Ensure all your piping systems are optimal and prevent future damage with Swiftline Plumbing’s regular residential plumbing inspections and maintenance services.
Sometimes, several vents are outside your home, and their function will vary depending on the location. They could be the AC drain line, usually made from white PVC. You may also find the water pressure relief line, commonly known as the PVR line, generally made from copper to prevent water heaters from building dangerous amounts of pressure.
If the pipe is in your yard or you notice a white cap on it, it is the clean-out. It is an access point to the sewer line, where plumbing services can fix blockages in the sewage. If you ever need assistance with your main sewer line, don’t hesitate to contact Swiftline Plumbing here. We’re available 24/7 for emergencies with your sewer line.

Drain cleaning methods depend mainly on the severity of the blockage in your drainpipes. If your sinks are draining slower than before, there is probably a build-up. Plungers and zip-it tools are usually great for unclogging them. After unclogging them, use baking soda or biological cleaners to clean the pipes. Avoid chemical cleaners, as they can erode your pipes over time.
If these methods don’t work and your sinks are still draining slower or starting to back up, contact a professional plumber like Swiftline Plumbing. There may be bigger blockages in your sewer line. Schedule your service online here!
