As homes and communities across the High Desert continue to age, one issue is becoming increasingly urgent: outdated plumbing infrastructure. At Inland Pro Plumbing, we’re seeing more and more service calls related to corroded, leaking, or failing pipes—especially in homes built before the 1980s. Many of these properties still rely on galvanized steel, cast iron, or clay piping, all of which are susceptible to rust, blockages, and deterioration over time.
Aging pipes aren’t just a nuisance—they can lead to serious problems like water damage, low water pressure, discolored water, and even health risks due to lead contamination. For many homeowners, these symptoms often go unnoticed until a major issue arises. That’s why proactive pipe inspections and replacements are critical to maintaining a safe, reliable plumbing system.
At Inland Pro Plumbing, we specialize in pipe replacement and repiping solutions that are both cost-effective and minimally invasive. Our team uses advanced diagnostic tools to assess your system, pinpoint problem areas, and recommend the best course of action. We often replace outdated materials with modern, long-lasting alternatives like PEX or copper, which offer better water flow, resistance to corrosion, and improved durability.
One of the most common services we perform is whole-home repiping—an investment that not only protects your property but also increases its value and efficiency. For homeowners dealing with recurring leaks, low pressure, or strange-tasting water, this can be a game-changer.
We also offer trenchless pipe replacement methods for sewer and drain lines, reducing the need for extensive digging and landscape disruption. This technology is ideal for older properties where traditional excavation would be costly or impractical.
As the infrastructure in many communities continues to age, addressing plumbing problems early is more important than ever. Inland Pro Plumbing is committed to helping local homeowners and businesses navigate these challenges with expert service and honest recommendations.
If you’re concerned about the condition of your pipes or are experiencing persistent plumbing issues, don’t wait until it turns into a costly emergency.

Frequently Asked Questions On Pipe Plumbing replacement
How do I know if my pipes are too old?
If your home was built before the 1980s and still has its original plumbing, there’s a good chance the pipes are nearing the end of their lifespan. Signs include frequent leaks, low water pressure, rust-colored water, or visible corrosion.
What types of pipes are commonly found in older homes?
Older homes often have galvanized steel, cast iron, clay, or even lead pipes. These materials can corrode, crack, or leach contaminants over time.
What pipe materials are used for modern replacements?
Today’s most common replacement materials are PEX, copper, and PVC. PEX is flexible, resistant to scale buildup, and cost-effective, while copper is durable and long-lasting. PVC is often used for drain and sewer lines.
How long do replacement pipes last?
PEX: 40–50 years
Copper: 50+ years
PVC (drain lines): 50–80 years
Modern materials are designed to last significantly longer than outdated options.
What are the benefits of replacing old pipes?
Pipe replacement improves water pressure, eliminates leaks, reduces the risk of water damage, improves water quality, and increases home value.
Is pipe replacement disruptive to my home?
Not necessarily. Whole-home repiping can usually be done with minimal disruption. Trenchless methods are also available for underground sewer and drain lines, eliminating the need for major digging.
How long does it take to repipe a house?
Most full-home repipe projects take 3 to 5 days, depending on the size and complexity of the plumbing system.
Can I replace just part of my plumbing system?
Yes. If the damage or aging is isolated, a partial repipe may be recommended. However, if your whole system is aging, full replacement may be more cost-effective in the long run.
Will pipe replacement increase my property value?
Yes. Upgrading your plumbing adds to your home’s resale value and gives buyers peace of mind that the system is modern and reliable.
