The median home in Polk County was built in 1985, according to Census data. Many of these homes still have their original plumbing — galvanized steel pipes that corrode from the inside out, polybutylene pipes that are prone to sudden failure, or early CPVC that becomes brittle with age. Whole-home repiping typically costs $1,500 to $15,000, with most homeowners paying around $7,500 according to Angi. For a 1,500 square foot home, expect to pay $4,500 to $12,000 depending on the pipe material chosen.
If your home was built before 1990 and you're experiencing discolored water, low water pressure, frequent leaks, or rusty-looking water, your pipes may need replacement. Approximately 10% of American homes experience a plumbing leak annually, and many of these are caused by aging, corroded pipes. In Polk County, where many homes are 30 to 40+ years old, repiping is one of the most impactful upgrades a homeowner can make.
Galvanized steel pipes were standard in homes built before the 1960s and were used into the 1980s. They corrode from the inside, restricting water flow and contaminating water with rust. Polybutylene pipes (gray plastic) were installed in millions of homes from the late 1970s through the mid-1990s and are notorious for sudden, catastrophic failures. If your Lakeland home has either material, repiping to PEX or copper is strongly recommended.
