Copper Repiping in Pittsburgh, PA

Some homeowners prefer copper for its long track record and rigidity. We install Type L copper, which has a thicker wall than the Type M used in many older homes. Joints are soldered with lead-free solder or pressed with ProPress fittings. Copper repipes typically cost more and take a bit longer than PEX.

Drain Line Repiping in Pittsburgh

While often overlooked, your home's drain lines are just as important as your supply lines. Old cast iron or corroded drain pipes can lead to frequent clogs, slow drainage, and even sewage backups. JKR Plumbing provides complete drain line repiping in Pittsburgh, replacing failing waste pipes with new, smooth PVC or ABS lines. This supports efficient waste removal and prevents future drainage problems, protecting your home from foul odors and unsanitary conditions.

Kitec and Polybutylene Replacement in Pittsburgh

Kitec, with its orange or blue PEX-AL-PEX pipe and brass fittings, and gray polybutylene pipe are both known for failures. Many homes built in the 1980s through early 2000s contain one or the other. We replace these systems completely so your home is easier to insure and sell later. Visible pipe at the water heater often tells us what you have.

Galvanized Pipe Replacement in Pittsburgh, PA

Many older homes in Pittsburgh, PA still have galvanized steel pipes, which are prone to corrosion, rust, and mineral buildup. This leads to low water pressure, discolored water, and eventual leaks. Our team specializes in the complete removal and replacement of these outdated systems with modern PEX or copper piping. This upgrade not only resolves existing problems but also greatly improves water quality and flow, boosting your home's value and plumbing reliability for decades to come.

Condo, Townhome and Multi-Family Repipes in Pittsburgh

Shared walls and HOA rules make repiping attached homes more complex. We coordinate with HOAs, schedule water shutoffs and protect neighboring units. For property managers we offer building-wide repipes done in phases to keep residents in place. Each unit gets clear communication and daily cleanup.

PEX-A Whole-Home Repiping in Pittsburgh

PEX-A tubing is flexible, resists scale buildup and handles thermal expansion well, which suits hard water. We use Uponor or similar PEX-A with cold expansion fittings that open up the full pipe diameter. Long continuous runs mean fewer joints in walls and attics. Most homes are repiped with PEX in two to four days.

Emergency Repipe and Leak Repair in Pittsburgh

We can quickly isolate damaged sections and offer options for immediate repair or a phased repiping approach to restore your water service safely and efficiently, preventing extensive water damage.
