The short answer
In Eugene and throughout Lane County, one finds galvanized water piping in many an older home. The problem with those pipes is that they corrode from within; rust flakes accumulate and eventually cause trouble for the homeowner.
When low water pressure is evident at a number of fixtures, or there are clogs, reduced flow, and leaks on underground service lines to contend with, a full repipe or water-service replacement is something to put on the table. A licensed plumber will be able to put in new lines and make a case for whether whole-home repiping is the best way to ensure your plumbing has staying power.
When Repiping Is Called For
01
You have several fixtures with poor water pressure — not just a single faucet — such as the shower or toilet.
02
The water is discolored or has a rust tint that fouls the aerators and showerheads.
03
Clogs are a regular occurrence due to internal scaling or failing pipes.
04
There are leaks in the water service between the meter and the house, or repeated repairs that do not seem like a permanent fix.
The Failure of Galvanized Piping
Galvanized steel is prone to rusting from the inside out. As the interior gives way, it can flake off and obstruct the small openings in your fixtures, resulting in the kind of low pressure and discoloration we see often.
In time, these and other outdated materials can no longer be relied upon for a steady water supply. With some water service lines, there is no durable repair to be had, only replacement. You may also find legacy materials like polybutylene, which are known to underperform.
A Look at Your Options
What makes sense will come down to the condition and location of the pipe, as well as cost and how much yard disruption is acceptable. Some of the more common methods and materials are:
Whole-house repiping
To get back to reliable hot and cold water, including the water heater connections, the interior galvanized piping is swapped for modern materials.
Water service replacement
This involves replacing the main line from the meter to the house. Older services in the area are frequently galvanized and need to be replaced. It can be handled with open trenching or other methods.
Trenchless pipe boring
By drilling a new path and pulling the pipe back through, this method is less disruptive than a full excavation.
Pipe bursting
Where applicable, this trenchless alternative breaks the old underground pipe while a new one is put in place behind the head.
Open excavation
At times, the site conditions dictate a direct dig and replacement.
On the material side, a homeowner and plumber might opt for the durability of copper, the flexibility of PEX (cross-linked polyethylene), or PVC for certain applications. Polybutylene is an example of what is being replaced these days.
It is worth discussing the expected life of the material, any workmanship warranty, and making sure the installation is code-compliant.
How We Go About a Diagnosis
The call usually comes in over visible leaks, slow drains, or lack of pressure. Our team will do a thorough job of inspecting the accessible areas and the water supply lines at the meter.
We may put a camera to the sewer and drain lines to see if the plumbing is failing or simply corroded. That gives you a clear picture of whether to weigh a pipe repair or a complete repipe, and for more involved matters, it helps us match the solution to the home.
Working With Our Crew
At Precision Plumbing, we take on the complex jobs. Our licensed journeyman plumbers are equipped to handle repiping projects. Be it a whole-house project, a service replacement, or a trenchless option, we will determine the best fit.
We make sure to coordinate the necessary permits for water-service work and keep things code-compliant while we are at it, and we try to limit the impact on your walls, ceilings, and floors.
Do not hesitate to ask about the timeline, how we will restore your water during the job, and what warranties are in place for the new work.
Where to Go From Here
01
Make a note of where in the house the symptoms are showing up, be it the pressure, the color of the water, or a leak.
02
Request an inspection. Let the team evaluate the in-place piping and put forward a recommendation for a long-term solution, whether that is targeted repairs or a full repipe.
03
For an underground service issue, we can talk through the merits of trenchless boring versus excavation and handle the permit side of the plan.
We provide repiping in Eugene and the surrounding communities of Junction City, Pleasant Hill, Creswell, Veneta, and Elmira. From the initial diagnosis to the final replacement of your home’s pipes, Precision Plumbing is here to protect your home and give you the water pressure you should have.

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.

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.
