Why Repipe Your Home with CountBricks?

Hidden behind drywall and under floors, aging water lines can quietly erode your home’s value and comfort. Galvanized steel corrodes, polybutylene becomes brittle, and hard-water mineral buildup chokes copper lines. If you are battling low pressure, rust-colored water, or recurring leaks, a full repipe is often the most cost-effective, long-term solution. CountBricks combines AI estimation, real-time material pricing, and seasoned field crews to make the decision—and the project—far less stressful for residential homeowners.

The CountBricks Advantage

• AI-powered voice capture converts your walkthrough into a complete pipe schedule in minutes

• Live pricing pulls today’s PEX, copper, or CPVC costs directly from regional suppliers

• Automated labor calculations reflect real Anchorage labor rates and union scale

• Immediate PDF proposals branded with your logo and colors, ready to send or sign

• Optional blueprint takeoffs accelerate new-build or addition projects

Understanding the “Repipe Home” Search Intent

Homeowners typing “repipe home” want clear answers: scope, cost, timelines, and disruption level. They often compare partial repairs to full replacement. CountBricks answers each point with data—no guesswork. We track thousands of Alaska-area repipe projects, so our AI pulls local averages while adjusting for square footage, story count, and pipe routing complexity. The result is a line-item estimate you can trust.

Signals You Need a Full Repipe

• Multiple pinhole leaks in the past 12 months

• Water pressure below 40 PSI even after fixture replacement

• Visible corrosion at shut-off valves or meter connections

• Early-1990s polybutylene piping identified during inspection

• Brown, orange, or metallic-tasting water after vacations

Material Choices Explained by CountBricks

PEX-A Cross-Linked Polyethylene

• Flexible, fewer fittings, freeze-resistant

• Best for remodels where pipe can snake through existing framing

Type L Copper

• Time-tested durability and high resale value

• Higher material cost, but premium for upscale homes

CPVC Chlorinated PVC

• Budget-friendly, easy to solvent-weld

• Requires careful support to avoid sagging in horizontal runs

Step-by-Step Repipe Process with CountBricks

1. Voice-guided walkthrough records fixture count, pipe access points, and special conditions

2. CountBricks AI generates an instant scope and cost range

3. A field estimator confirms pipe routes and finalizes the guaranteed price

4. Crew stages materials the day before cut-over to minimize water-off time

5. Installation typically lasts one to three days depending on home size

6. Pressure test and municipal inspection verify code compliance

7. Drywall patches and texture are completed by our finishing team

8. Final walkthrough and digital warranty delivered through CountBricks.com/portfolio

Typical Timeline

• 1,200 ft² single-story: 1 day install, 1 day patch/paint

• 2,400 ft² two-story: 2 days install, 1–2 days patch/paint

• 3,500 ft² multi-bath: 3 days install, 2 days patch/paint

Cost Breakdown: Anchorage Example

CountBricks analyzed 50 Anchorage repipe projects in the last 12 months.

• Average PEX repipe cost: $4.35 per heated ft²

• Average Copper repipe cost: $6.90 per heated ft²

• Permit and inspection fees: $125–$250 depending on municipality

Because our estimates pull live supplier data, you receive an accurate price that remains locked for 30 days—even if copper futures jump.

How CountBricks Reduces Disruption

Our crews start at the manifold and branch outward, preserving water service to as many fixtures as possible until final cut-over. We also employ point-to-point PEX routing, drastically cutting drywall removal. For sensitive areas like kitchens, we use cabinet toe-kick penetrations to eliminate visible holes.

Five Pro Tips for a Smooth Repipe

• Clear under-sink cabinets and closets to speed access

• Ask CountBricks about night-shift installation to avoid business-hour downtime for home offices

• Combine repipe with fixture updates; bundled labor lowers total cost

• Schedule HVAC returns off to reduce dust circulation during wall cuts

• Keep pets in a closed room; insulation fragments can irritate animals

CountBricks Case Study: 1988 Ranch-Style Repipe

When the Peterson family noticed rusty water stains on their laundry whites, they called CountBricks for a solution. The 1,650 ft² ranch had original galvanized lines and just two accessible crawl-space points. Using our AI voice capture, the estimator recorded fixture counts, water-heater location, and attic access in under ten minutes. The platform suggested a PEX-A manifold strategy with home-run lines to each fixture, reducing future branch-line failures.

Project Highlights

• Estimate generated on-site: $7,215, including permits and drywall repair

• Water-off time: 6 hours total

• Drywall openings: 14, all patched and textured within 36 hours

• Final pressure test: 85 PSI hold for 30 minutes, zero loss

Lessons for Contractors

1. Data accuracy matters: The AI flagged potential joist obstructions, letting the crew preload right-angle PEX fittings and save two labor hours.

2. Material lock-in: Because CountBricks locked PEX pricing at quote approval, the mid-project supplier increase had zero impact on profitability.

3. Client transparency: Daily SMS updates sent via the platform received a 97 percent satisfaction score from the homeowner survey.

Next-Level Opportunities

• Pair repipe work with smart-home shut-off valves; CountBricks auto-calculates added cost and ROI.

• Use our blueprint takeoff to upsell new bathroom additions during the same mobilization.

• Present maintenance packages—annual flushes and valve inspections—generated directly from the post-project asset list in CountBricks.com/portfolio.
