Nothing ruins a fresh remodel like a pipe that lets go behind the new wall. On this Mercer Island job we found corroded galvanized line — the kind of plumbing that's not a matter of if, but when. The honest call was to take it all out, not patch around it.
Galvanized steel corrodes from the inside out. By the time you see a leak, the run is already failing. We replaced the full line with modern PEX — clean, quiet, and built to outlast the renovation around it.
A piecemeal fix — chase one leak, then the next — costs more over time and keeps the threat in the wall. A repipe costs once and removes the problem.
We did it before the pretty work went in, which is the only time you want to find it. The remodel this homeowner is about to love is now standing on plumbing that won't betray it.
