Low water pressure, rusty water, or leak after leak? Rapid Plumbing replaces old galvanized, polybutylene, and corroded copper pipes with modern PEX or copper systems built to last for decades — with minimal disruption to your Birmingham home.
Many Birmingham-area homes built before the 1990s still run on galvanized steel or polybutylene pipe — materials that corrode, clog, and fail with age. Patching one leak at a time gets expensive fast. Repiping solves the problem for good. It may be time if you’re seeing:
We’ll inspect your existing plumbing, explain what you have, and give you an honest recommendation — a partial repipe is sometimes all that’s needed.
Whether it’s one problem line or the whole house, we replace it with materials that last.
Complete replacement of all supply lines in your home with new PEX or copper, done in days with minimal drywall disturbance.
Replace only the problem sections — a bathroom group, a kitchen run, or a single failing line.
Remove rusted galvanized steel that restricts flow and discolors water, and replace it with clean modern pipe.
Gray polybutylene pipe is known for sudden failures. We replace it before it fails and floods your home.
We install both PEX and copper systems and help you choose the right one for your home and budget.
Replace the water service line from the meter to your house when it’s leaking, corroded, or undersized.

Common questions from Birmingham homeowners about replacing their home’s plumbing.
Cost depends on the size of the home, number of fixtures, pipe material (PEX vs. copper), and how accessible the existing lines are. We provide a free in-home inspection and detailed written quote so you know the full price before deciding.
A typical single-family home takes 2 to 5 days. We restore water at the end of each day whenever possible so you can keep living in the house during the project.
Both are excellent. PEX is flexible, freeze-resistant, and more affordable, which makes it the most popular choice today. Copper is rigid, long-proven, and preferred by some homeowners. We’ll walk you through the pros and cons for your home.
We keep openings as small and as few as possible, usually in closets, behind fixtures, and other low-visibility spots. We’ll show you exactly where access is needed before we start.
Yes, in most Birmingham-area jurisdictions. As a licensed plumbing contractor, Rapid Plumbing handles the permit and the inspection for you.
Often, yes. If only one section of the home has problem pipe, a partial repipe can be a smart, budget-friendly fix. We’ll tell you honestly whether a partial or whole-home repipe makes sense.
