Answer 2

There is no "Average Price" that can be given. Most of the cost of piping a house is the labor, not the materials. Since labor rates vary greatly, you would need an estimate from a Plumbing company that services you area. You should be able to find more than one plumbing company that will come and give you a FREEestimate. There should be no need to pay for an estimate, think of it as them bidding for the job. If they want to charge for an estimate, it's usually is a sign that they rarely get an estimate accepted, and there is probably a reason for that. I have worked as a plumber, and free residential estimates are normal in most places.

Answer 3

There are too many variables for an accurate answer to this question. A typical copper repipe will run between $300-$600 for each water line being replaced in the Los Angeles area.... so a kitchen sink has a hot and cold water line and would typically cost between $600-$1200 to replace with copper.

ANS 2 - Re-piping with PEX is cheaper, faster and more efficient in the long run. - The only reason copper pipe is still around is that it's labor intensive for old fashioned plumbers.

Answer 4

The cost to have copper pipes repaired depends on how many pipes need to be repaired and what the extent of the damage is. If all of the copper pipes in a house need to be replaced then it can be very expensive. If there is just a leak in one of the pipes then the cost will be much cheaper.
