Whole-Home Repiping for Minneapolis–St. Paul Homes

Northern Benjamin Franklin Plumbing® provides professional whole-home repiping for homeowners across Minneapolis, St. Paul, and nearby areas. If your pipes are aging, corroded, or causing leaks and water quality issues, we’ll replace them with modern, durable materials that protect your home for decades to come.

Old pipes are more than just an inconvenience — they can quietly cause hidden leaks, low water pressure, discolored water, and costly water damage behind your walls and floors. Our local, licensed plumbers make repiping straightforward and stress-free, giving you cleaner water, stronger flow, and peace of mind.

Signs You Might Need Repiping

Not sure if your pipes need more than a patch? Here’s what to watch for:

  • Frequent pipe leaks or repairs
  • Rust-colored water from faucets
  • Low water pressure throughout the house
  • Water with an odd taste or smell
  • Visible corrosion on exposed pipes
  • Older homes with outdated galvanized or lead pipes

If you’re dealing with any of these, a professional inspection can confirm whether repiping will save you from bigger problems down the road.

How Long Do Pipes Last?

Many Twin Cities homes still have pipes that are past their prime:

Galvanized iron or steel: Common in homes built before 1960, these pipes last 40–65 years but rust from the inside, leading to leaks and brown water.

Copper: More reliable, with a lifespan of up to 50 years if properly installed.

CPVC: Can last 50–75 years in good conditions but may develop cracks sooner without maintenance.

Brass: Found in newer homes; corrosion-resistant with about a 40-year lifespan.

If your home still has outdated galvanized pipes, replacement is often the safest and most cost-effective solution.

Repiping can sound intimidating, but with Northern Benjamin Franklin Plumbing®, it’s simpler than you think. Here’s how we handle it:

Detailed Inspection & Honest Advice:
We start by thoroughly inspecting your existing pipes and mapping out your plumbing system. If a full repipe isn’t necessary, we’ll tell you — and explain any alternative repairs that could work instead.

Clear Options & Upfront Pricing:
Before we do anything, we walk you through your options, material choices (like PEX or copper), and exactly what it will cost. No surprises, no upsells you don’t need — just honest answers so you can decide what’s best for your home.

High-Quality Materials Installed Right:
We use durable, code-compliant materials designed to handle our region’s water quality and freeze-thaw cycles. Every connection and joint is done right, ensuring reliable performance for decades to come.

Thorough Testing & Fine-Tuning:
Once your new pipes are in place, we test your entire system — checking for strong water pressure, leak-free connections, and consistent flow at every tap.

Complete Cleanup & Peace of Mind:
We patch walls where needed, clean up every work area, and leave your home as neat as we found it. Plus, your repiping job comes with warranties and our Northern guarantee for lasting peace of mind.

Our team respects your time, your home, and your budget — and we back every repiping job with reliable warranties for peace of mind.

What You Can Expect After Repiping

Upgrading old pipes comes with benefits that go far beyond preventing leaks:

  • Cleaner, safer water: No rust or contamination in your drinking, cooking, and bathing water.
  • Better tasting food: Clean water improves the taste of everything you cook and brew.
  • Improved water pressure: Enjoy stronger, more consistent flow at every faucet and shower.
  • Longer-lasting plumbing: Modern pipes last for decades with minimal maintenance.
