Repiping in Katy — A Long-Term Solution for Aging Plumbing
When a home’s plumbing system has reached the end of its service life — showing recurring leaks, rust-stained water, or declining pressure throughout — whole-home repiping may be the most reliable path forward. Ory’s Plumbing Services has helped Katy and West Houston homeowners through the repiping process since 1995. We’re family-owned, Texas licensed (MPL 41229), and experienced with the specific pipe conditions and home styles common in our area.
We serve Katy, Cinco Ranch, Cross Creek Ranch, Cane Island, Kelliwood, Fulshear, and surrounding West Houston communities. Upfront pricing. Scheduling available to minimize disruption to your household. No hidden fees.
📞 (281) 829-9828Whole-Home Repiping Assessment
We start with a thorough evaluation of your current plumbing system — pipe material, age, condition, and pressure — before recommending repiping. You’ll know exactly what we found and what we recommend before any work is proposed.
Galvanized Steel Repiping
Galvanized steel pipes in Katy-area homes from the 1950s through 1980s are often well past their useful life. Corrosion builds from the inside, restricting flow and discoloring water. We replace galvanized systems with modern copper or PEX piping.
Copper Repiping
Copper is a durable, time-tested material for water supply lines. We install copper repiping to code with properly sized lines for your home’s layout and pressure requirements. See our dedicated copper repiping page for full details.
PEX Repiping
PEX (cross-linked polyethylene) tubing is flexible, resistant to scale and corrosion, and well-suited for Katy’s hard water conditions. We use PEX for whole-home repiping projects where its installation advantages and long-term performance make it the right choice.
Phased Repiping
For homeowners who prefer to address repiping in stages rather than all at once, we can prioritize the most compromised sections first and plan future phases around your schedule and budget. We’ll be honest about what can wait and what shouldn’t.
Post-Repipe Inspection & Testing
After repiping is complete, we pressure-test the entire system and inspect every connection before restoring water service. We don’t consider the job finished until we’ve confirmed everything is functioning properly.

Repiping FAQs — Katy, TX
How do I know if my home needs to be repiped?
If your home has galvanized steel pipes, is 40+ years old, or you’re experiencing recurring leaks, discolored water, or low pressure throughout the house, repiping may be worth considering. A professional inspection will give you a clear picture of what’s actually happening with your plumbing.
How long does a whole-home repipe take?
Most single-family homes can be repiped in one to three days depending on size and layout. We plan the work to keep your water off for as little time as possible each day and coordinate with you on scheduling.
Will repiping require me to open up all my walls?
Some wall access is typically required, but we plan access strategically to minimize the number of openings. We’ll walk you through what will be opened before any work begins so there are no surprises about what the project involves.
Is copper or PEX better for my home?
Both are solid options. Copper is proven and highly durable; PEX is flexible, resistant to scale buildup from hard water, and easier to route through existing walls. We’ll explain the characteristics of each and help you make an informed decision for your home.
Do you pull permits for repiping work?
Yes. Repiping typically requires a permit in Texas. We handle the permitting process and ensure all work meets Texas State Board of Plumbing Examiners requirements and local code — protecting you, your home, and its resale value.
If you’re tired of recurring leaks and plumbing problems that never seem to stay fixed, Ory’s Plumbing can assess whether repiping is the right move for your home. We’ll give you a clear, honest evaluation and a detailed estimate before any work begins.
