How To Repipe Your House Fast With PEX A

- 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.
What a wholesome channel. Definitely subscribing.
We appreciate the support!
You boys sure do nice work....😊
Amazing to watch.
I did repipe my hot water line but with pex b and shark bite fittings. It is still good after 6 months no leaks
Great video... thanks for sharing.
Inspiring and entertaining.
AWESOME VIDEO!! My house will be going through the same thing soon. Old PEX going bad.
This video really helped me as I’m doing Apex a project today
Glad to hear!! Good luck!
Very helpful demonstration without a bunch of fluff. Thank you.
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.
Glad the video helped!
Frankly that seems fair and a bit low.
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?
About $1000 for everything. Including the Pex expander. This took about a day and a half.
That red pex might confuse someone later
Yeah unfortunately we couldn’t find any white or blue!
A true tradesman will not get confused
Why did u use pex a not pex b.? Isn't pex a more expensive
I CALL A COMPANY FOR ESTIMATE BUT IS TOOO EXPENSIVE..9 THOUSAND DOLLARS FOR REPIPE MY HOUSE...😮
Thats cheap.
@@rayward100 yes it is cheap
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.
