When Should You Repipe Your Rio Rancho, NM Home?
A major renovation or addition to your New Mexico home is the perfect time to replace your old water lines as a proactive measure. New pipes will eliminate the need to open walls and ceilings in the future to fix an aging plumbing system.
Other reasons for repiping include:
- Your pipes are galvanized steel, lead, or polybutylene, all outdated materials. Galvanized steel can corrode, accumulate sediment, and leak. Lead in the zinc coating on the steel may leach into the water. Lead pipes jeopardize your health. Polybutylene pipes can crack and become brittle as they age.
- Your aging pipes may be leaking behind walls and above ceilings. Water stains and increasing water bills may indicate a hidden leak. Musty odors also point to leaks that can encourage mold growth in your home. Mold and mildew can trigger allergy and asthma symptoms, irritate the eyes, and cause skin rashes and other health problems.
- Rusty pipes can change the color of your water and give it a metallic flavor.
- Sediment buildup and corrosion may restrict water flow.
We offer flexible financing packages (subject to approved credit) to help you purchase the plumbing equipment your home needs. At First Rate Plumbing Heating and Cooling Inc, we take your safety and comfort seriously.
Repiping Process
Our experts at First Rate Plumbing Heating and Cooling Inc will inspect and assess the need for repiping. If whole-house repiping is the best solution for your plumbing problems and you decide to proceed with it, we will help you select replacement pipes. Copper pipes or PEX tubing are sturdy, reliable options.
The amount of time needed for repiping varies from house to house and depends on the extent of the plumbing system and the ease of accessing it. A two-story home with five bathrooms takes more time to repipe than a bungalow with one bathroom.
We strive to finish every job as quickly as possible without cutting corners on quality. We know how inconvenient it can be to experience a water shut-off.
What You Gain by Repiping
New plumbing enhances your home and adds value. If you decide to sell your home, it can be an attractive feature for potential buyers.
Your plumbing will deliver water without sediment, rust, or odd coloring.
You will not have to worry about leaks and poor water pressure due to sediment and corrosion.

The communication about my service appointment was prompt. My technician, Raymond, was professional, polite and patient as he explained every step of the work that was happening and what I may need to focus on for future visits. He showed pictures of his work and was helpful with any questions that I had. Based on his work and my overall experience, I signed up to be a member and get bi-annual maintenance done.

I had a mystery water leak in my yard, could have been anything, but turned out to be in an irrigation line. Saul could have told me it was anything, could have made something up, but instead he was HONEST, diagnosed the issue quickly and told me what to do next. So happy. The communication was great, they even sent me a picture of Saul so I would know who to expect, amazing!

Ray did a great job on the winter service for my two heat pumps. I have used First Rate since 2022 for maintenance and installation. The company is solid and honest, and Ray is a great example of their excellent customer service. He is very knowledgable, worked efficiently, and was really good with my dog too.

Patrick installed my kitchen faucet and gave me an estimate for replacing the water heater. He provided me with a lot of information about the water heater and the HVAC, which I very much appreciated. I have a clearer picture going forward for what I need to accomplish.
