Installation Procedures
Proper installation is the most important step to ensure a safe, reliable and efficient system. There are 7 major steps included in a repiping installation and we have summarized each step below.
Step 1 - Site Inspection
A clear understanding of the project and the site are crucial in a successful and quick installation. During the site inspection the contractor should outline every detail of the project and exactly what is included. It is important to clarify if the faucets and drains will be replaced during this part of the installation.
Step 2 - System Layout
Once the job is agreed on the system layout should be determined. This step involves ordering parts and materials for your new system.

The site should be cleaned and ready for the new installation. Clean all areas around and behind your sinks, faucets, toilets and showers. Your contractor should provide you with any additional instructions if necessary.
Step 4 - Installation
Qualified professionals should handle the installation of your new repiping system to ensure the safety, reliability and efficiency of the install.
Step 5 - Performance
Upon completion of the installation the system is tested and any necessary adjustments will be made.
 Step 6 - Wall Repair
