If your home still runs on galvanized steel or aging, failing pipe, you're living with the symptoms: rusty water after vacations, pressure that drops when two fixtures run, pinhole leaks that keep appearing in new places. Patching buys months. A repipe fixes it for decades.
Tannor repipes homes across the Willamette Valley with modern PEX or copper — planned to minimize wall openings, done in an organized sequence that keeps your water on as much as possible, and finished with clean, labeled shut-offs.

Questions
Frequently Asked
How disruptive is a repipe?
Less than people fear when it's planned well. Most single-family repipes take a few days; water is typically off only in planned windows, and wall openings are kept small and marked for the drywall patch.
PEX or copper — which should I choose?
PEX is faster to install, freeze-tolerant and costs less; copper is time-proven and some owners simply prefer it. Tannor quotes both when it's a close call and tells you which he'd put in his own house.
