Overview
Older homes in and around Oregon, IL often still run on galvanized steel or aging copper that's corroding from the inside out — even when nothing looks wrong from the outside. 5Star Plumbing Advanced repipes homes top to bottom with modern copper or PEX, restoring water pressure and eliminating the rust, leaks, and pinhole failures that come with old supply lines.
We plan repiping projects room by room to keep your home livable during the work, patch and coordinate drywall access points, and pressure-test the entire system before we consider the job finished.
