The short answer
Galvanized plumbing is a feature of many an older home in Eugene, Springfield, and throughout Lane County. The trouble with those galvanized steel pipes is that they are prone to corroding from the inside as the years go by.
Rust flakes will make their way into shower heads, faucets, and toilet openings, causing clogs, discolored water, and recurring leaks, not to mention a steady decline in water pressure. In the end, there is no better long-term fix for a homeowner concerned with reliability and the quality of his or her water than to put in modern materials to take the place of the old galvanized.
When It Is Time for a Repipe
01
You are dealing with low water pressure at more than one fixture, hot or cold.
02
Faucets and shower heads show signs of rust or mineral buildup, or you see brown staining.
03
There are leaks in several places or the main water service line is on its last legs.
04
The home is of a certain age with original galvanized work or active corrosion in plain sight.
A Precision Plumbing Method to Replacement
Our licensed journeyman plumbers will put in an initial inspection to find the source of any leak and assess how far the corrosion has spread before making a recommendation.
If the interior system is beyond saving, we will repipe the home with something more durable like PEX or copper; what we propose will be laid out in the written estimate.
On the water service line between the meter and the house, the crew can put in new lines using conventional trenching or a trenchless bore, and we will take care of the necessary permits and compliance.
What We Typically Find
01
A call about low pressure usually turns up some interior galvanized corrosion; we start our diagnosis at the visible ends of the pipe and fixtures.
02
An unusual water bill or an underground leak often points to a galvanized main service. Rather than put in patch after patch, the team can inspect and advise on a full replacement.
03
We do a good deal of drain cleaning and sewer camera work in Eugene and Springfield as well, which sometimes brings other issues to light during an inspection.
What a Repipe or Service-Line Job Entails
01
Diagnosis and verification of the pipe’s condition by a licensed plumber
02
A straightforward recommendation and an estimate covering the cost of materials and labor for the affected piping
03
Permitting for any water service replacements and attention to code compliance
04
A trenchless bore or standard trenching for the main water line, while interior systems are fully repiped with PEX, CPVC, or copper as the job dictates
05
An opportunity to go over warranty and financing so one can weigh the long-term value and savings

I had an apparent water leak outside near my back door, the water meter indicated a 10 gal/hour leak. Montana with Precision Plumbing arrived within an hour of my call. He immediately noticed a hose bibb 20 feet away leaking a slow, steady stream. The water had run underground, under a concrete slab and surfaced 20 feet away. Tightened down the hose bibb handle and verified the leak had stopped by checking the water meter. Thanks Precision, I’ll definitely use you in the future.

Friendly, professional, did a great job re-lining our sewer so that we didn’t have to dig up the yard and remove our nice cedar tree. Cleaned up everything so you couldn’t tell anything happened. Enjoyed working with Precision.

As an owner of a local restoration company, it’s great to have a reliable plumber to turn to when we encounter leaks and broken pipes. I’ve also used Precision Plumbing at my own home. Evan has built a really great team and you can rest assured that the plumbers that come arrive when they tell you they will, are reliable, and are fairly priced. Great working with y’all

We couldn’t be more pleased with the work done by Precision Plumbing! Our technician, Roy, was efficient, professional and friendly! We had a faucet replaced and he took extra care to check for leaks and said we could call if we had any concerns. Clogged drain was cleared as well! Very pleased with the cost of the service.
