About PRX Repipe & Plumbing
A Marietta plumbing company whose name tells you the specialty: repiping.
Repiping means taking the old water supply lines out of service and running new ones to every sink, toilet, shower and appliance in the house. It is the fix when pipes have aged past patching, one leak at a time.
This page follows the same path water takes through a home, from the street to the tap. The blue line down the side is the cold supply. Keep scrolling and you will see where the hot line splits off.

3 of 5 Water heater: hot splits from cold here
Two sets of lines, one house
Every home has a cold side and a hot side. A whole-home repipe typically replaces both.
Cold side
- The supply line from the main shutoff into the house
- Branches to each sink, toilet, tub and shower
- Feeds to the water heater, washer, fridge and hose bibs
Hot side
- The line leaving the top of the water heater
- Branches to each sink, tub and shower
- Feeds to the dishwasher and washing machine
What is included varies by house and by quote. Ask PRX exactly which lines, valves and fixtures are covered before work starts.
4 of 5 Branch lines: where trouble shows up
Signs the pipes are the problem
One leak is a repair. A pattern is usually the pipe itself wearing out.
- Leaks that keep coming back
- A new pinhole every few months, in different spots, points to pipe that is failing along its whole length.
- Rusty or discolored water
- Brown or yellow water, especially first thing in the morning, often means steel pipe corroding from the inside.
- Pressure that has faded
- Corrosion and scale narrow old pipes over the years, so less water gets through to the fixture.
- Gray plastic or old steel pipe
- Polybutylene and galvanized steel are the two materials homeowners most often replace outright. Compare pipe materials
