Whole-House Repiping in Fort Collins: what's different here
Many Fort Collins homes built before the 1970s still have galvanized steel supply lines that rust from the inside, and some 1980s and 1990s homes have polybutylene. Both lead to low pressure and pinhole leaks.
Repiping with PEX or copper replaces the system in a few days. Routing matters in this climate: lines should run inside heated space, away from exterior walls and crawl-space vents that invite freezing.
Many homeowners combine repiping with other upgrades such as a new main shutoff, a pressure-reducing valve or a water heater, since the water is already off and walls are already open.

Whole-House Repiping questions from Fort Collins homeowners
How do I know if my Fort Collins home has galvanized pipe?
Look where the line enters the house: gray threaded steel pipe is galvanized. A magnet sticks to it but not to copper.
Will repiping mean big holes in the walls?
Plumbers open small access points and patch them. Finished basements usually need more patching than unfinished ones.
