What the customer called about
A homeowner in Jenks, ZIP code 74037, discovered a third leak on the hot water line. Rather than repair another section underground, we took on a whole-house hot water repipe with overhead routing.
What our plumber found
We had already rerouted the main hot water line through the attic during an earlier repair. This work extended that approach to the remaining hot water lines serving the home's kitchen, bathrooms and laundry fixtures.
How we fixed it
We took the underground hot water lines out of service and rerouted the hot water piping overhead. Our crew used PEX piping, expansion fittings and insulation, with connections made through openings at the fixtures.
The repipe covered the kitchen sink, six vanity sinks, washer box, utility sink, three tub/shower fixtures, master shower and master tub.
What this means for your home
Repeated underground hot water leaks are a reason to discuss more than another spot repair. We can help you compare that approach with an overhead repipe. This job also shows why homeowners should plan for access openings near fixtures, not just work in the attic.
