Galvanized pipes corroding from the inside. Polybutylene failing without warning. Copper with multiple pinhole leaks. When the system needs more than a repair — we repipe the right way.
Much of High Point's housing stock was built between 1945 and 1985 — which means a significant portion of the city's homes have supply lines that are 40–80 years old. Galvanized steel pipe corrodes from the inside out, slowly reducing effective interior diameter from 3/4 inch to as little as 1/4 inch over decades. The result is brown water, low pressure throughout the house, and eventually complete failure. By the time you're calling about low pressure, the pipe is already significantly compromised.
Polybutylene pipe — a gray plastic supply line installed widely between 1978 and 1995 — is a separate category of risk. It fails without warning from chlorine degradation and stress fractures. Neighborhoods built during that era in High Point, including parts of Westchester and the development corridors along N. Centennial Street, have a significant polybutylene presence. If your home was built between 1978 and 1995 and you haven't confirmed your pipe material, it's worth finding out.
📞 Call Now — 336-422-7560We identify what your supply system is made of — galvanized, polybutylene, copper, or PEX — and its current condition. Many homeowners don't know what's in their walls.
If only one section has failed, we repair it. If the system shows widespread corrosion or polybutylene risk, we recommend a full repipe and explain the cost-benefit honestly.
A full PEX repipe on a 3-bedroom High Point home takes 1–3 days. We minimize wall openings using PEX's flexibility, run new lines throughout, and reconnect all fixtures.
We pull the required NC permit, schedule the Guilford County rough-in inspection, pressure-test the new system, and patch all access points.

PEX tubing bends around corners without fittings, dramatically reducing the number of wall openings vs. copper. Less disruption, faster installation.
PEX pipe carries a 25-year manufacturer warranty. Properly installed, it will outlast the home's next two owners.
We pull the required permit and pass Guilford County inspection — so your repipe is documented in the permit record, which matters when you sell.
Had galvanized pipes throughout our 1962 High Point home. Water pressure was terrible and the hot water was often brownish. Triad repiped the whole house with PEX in two days. Pressure is incredible now and the water is clear.
They identified polybutylene pipe in our 1989 home that we had no idea about. Explained the risk clearly, gave us a fair quote, and replaced it all with PEX. One of the best home investments we've made.
Got three quotes for a full repipe. Triad wasn't the cheapest but they were the most thorough in their assessment and the only one who explained exactly what the permit process involved. Worth every dollar.
Galvanized pipes are dull silver-gray in color — look at exposed pipes in the crawl space, basement, or utility room. If they're magnetic (a magnet sticks), they're galvanized steel. Signs of deterioration: brown or rust-colored water (especially first thing in the morning), low water pressure throughout the house, or visible orange-brown corrosion at joints.
Polybutylene is a gray, flexible plastic supply pipe installed widely from 1978–1995. It was approved and widely used, then found to fail unpredictably due to chlorine degradation and stress fractures at fittings. There was a class action settlement in the 1990s. Polybutylene cannot be reliably repaired — full replacement is the only permanent solution. If your home was built between 1978 and 1995, we can inspect and confirm whether polybutylene is present.
A complete PEX repipe on a typical 3-bedroom High Point home (1,500–2,000 sq ft) takes 1–3 days. Water is off for most of the work but is restored each evening. We work efficiently to minimize disruption.
PEX's flexibility significantly reduces wall openings vs. copper. We plan access points strategically — typically one opening per wall segment, accessing multiple fixtures through one hole. Most repiped homes require 6–20 small drywall patches rather than fully opened walls.
Yes — a whole-house repipe requires a plumbing permit from Guilford County. We handle the application and schedule the rough-in inspection before we close the walls. This protects you legally and creates a documented record of the work that is valuable when you sell the home.
