  • In this video we show how easy it is to repipe your water lines with Pex A. We go through how to use pex A also known as cold expansion joints. We also show how to drill through your homes framing. This is a partial repipe in the house due to a slab leak. We had zero leaks after testing the plumbing and look forward to many years of reliable plumbing. Even with buying all of the material and the expansion tool, we ended up saving thousands of dollars.

    Nice. I added fire sprinklers while I had everything open on my job. Easy inexpensive add-on for peace of mind...plus a discount on home owners' insurance.

    The sharkbites you popped on at the end look like they were going onto sanded or otherwise scored or ever so slightly tapered pipe ends. My understanding is that this type of pipe prep is actually likely to make the sharkbites fail- that sharkbites prefer clean, wiped down, deburred pipe for their o-rings to work best. Could be wrong.

    I'm about to do this in my house and now feel more confident doing it myself after watching this. Local plumber gave me an $8k estimate for a 1800sf ranch with two bathrooms and a kitchen.

    What equipment (you said leak detector) you used to pin point the pipe? Can you post a purchase link? Thanks ❤

      We called out a leak detection company to pinpoint it for us. Cheaper than buying all the tools to locate it ourselves.

    Nice work. What was the material cost and how long did this take?

    • @fathersondiygarage3580

      About $1000 for everything. Including the Pex expander. This took about a day and a half.

    No insulation ANYWHERE. No precautions against freezing. No loops to save water. Where is this? In California, we use insulation. I go a step further and use radiant barriers.
