PEX vs Copper vs CPVC: Which is Best?

Comprehensive comparison to help you choose the right material for your San Jose home

PEX (Cross-Linked Polyethylene)

Best Value - Recommended for Most Homes

Advantages

  • Most Affordable: 25-40% less than copper
  • Flexible: Fewer wall openings needed
  • Freeze-Resistant: Expands without bursting

  • Lifespan: 40-50 years

Expert Recommendation: For most San Jose homes, PEX offers the best balance of durability, affordability, and performance. Its flexibility means fewer wall openings and faster installation. Perfect for our climate.

Copper

Premium Option - Maximum Longevity

Advantages

  • Longest Lifespan: 50-70 years
  • Bacteria-Resistant: Natural antimicrobial

Frequently Asked Questions

Your repiping questions answered by San Jose experts

Most San Jose homes can be repiped in 1-2 days. Water is only turned off for 8-10 hours daily. The entire process including permits and wall repair typically takes 3-5 days. Larger homes or complex layouts may take slightly longer. We work efficiently to minimize disruption to your daily routine.
For most San Jose homes, PEX offers the best balance of affordability, durability, and ease of installation. It's 25-40% less expensive than copper, freeze-resistant, and requires fewer wall openings. Copper is preferred for luxury homes or when maximum resale value is important. Both materials are excellent choices and approved by San Jose building codes.
Yes! Using PEX piping, we can often repipe through walls, attics, and crawl spaces with minimal wall openings. Most homes require only small access holes (typically 2-3 inches) that we patch and paint. For homes with accessible attics or crawl spaces, we may need very few wall cuts. This is one of the major advantages of PEX over traditional copper.
Yes, whole house repiping requires a building permit in San Jose, Santa Clara, and surrounding cities. Permits typically cost $500-$2,000 depending on project scope. We handle all permit applications, fees, and city inspections as part of our service at no additional cost to you. This ensures your repiping is done to code and protects your home's value.
Yes, most homeowners stay in their homes during repiping. Water is turned off during work hours (typically 8am-5pm) but restored each evening so you have functional bathrooms and kitchen. We ensure you have at least one working toilet and sink throughout the process. Many families continue their normal routines with minimal disruption.
Repiping costs in San Jose typically range from $8,000-$25,000 depending on home size, material choice (PEX vs copper), and complexity. A typical 1,500-2,500 sq ft home costs $12,000-$18,000 with PEX or $15,000-$22,000 with copper. This includes materials, labor, permits, and wall repair. Use our cost calculator above for a personalized estimate.
Signs of a slab leak include: hot spots on floors, unexplained high water bills, sound of running water when all taps are off, mold or mildew growth, foundation cracks, and wet carpets or flooring. If you notice these signs, call immediately for a pipe inspection. Slab leaks can cause significant foundation damage if left untreated.
Insurance may cover repiping if it's due to a sudden, accidental event like a burst pipe. Normal wear and tear or gradual deterioration is typically not covered. However, insurance may cover water damage repairs. We can help document your claim and provide detailed invoices. Check with your insurance agent for specific coverage details.
If your home was built before 1960, you likely have galvanized steel pipes. Look for silver-gray pipes that may show rust at joints. Use a magnet - it will stick to galvanized steel but not copper or PEX. Galvanized pipes should be replaced immediately as they corrode from the inside, reducing water pressure and contaminating water with rust and lead.
Polybutylene pipes (gray pipes common in 1978-1995 homes) are prone to catastrophic failures causing severe water damage. Many insurance companies won't cover homes with polybutylene pipes or charge higher premiums. Banks may refuse mortgages on homes with these pipes. Replacement is strongly recommended and often required for insurance coverage.
