Replace aging, leaking water lines with an Uponor AquaPEX® plumbing system installed by an experienced local repiping company.
First Choice Plus Plumbing & Air provides Uponor repiping services in Port St. Lucie and surrounding Treasure Coast communities. Since 2007, our team has helped Florida homeowners replace deteriorating copper, polybutylene, CPVC, and other problem piping with flexible Uponor PEX-a water lines.
A whole-home repipe replaces the pressurized hot- and cold-water supply lines that carry water to your plumbing fixtures. It does not normally replace drainpipes, sewer lines, or plumbing fixtures unless those items are included in the written proposal.
An Uponor whole-home repipe replaces aging water-supply piping with Uponor AquaPEX pipe and ProPEX expansion connections. Uponor AquaPEX is a type of PEX-a, or cross-linked polyethylene pipe, used for residential hot- and cold-water distribution.
During repiping, new water lines are routed to the home’s sinks, toilets, showers, tubs, washing machine, water heater, hose connections, and other included fixtures. The new pipe is commonly routed through accessible walls, ceilings, attic areas, and interior cavities instead of beneath the concrete slab whenever the home’s construction allows it.
First Choice Plus Plumbing & Air plans each repipe around the home’s layout, fixture count, pipe condition, accessibility, and local inspection requirements. Homeowners experiencing only one isolated problem may need a pipe repair or partial repipe instead of a complete system replacement.
A Port St. Lucie home may need repiping when leaks are recurring in different parts of the water-supply system. Repeated pinhole leaks often indicate that the surrounding piping is also deteriorating, even when the visible leak can still be repaired.
Common signs that a whole-home repipe should be evaluated include:
One leak does not automatically mean the entire house needs repiping. First Choice Plus Plumbing & Air evaluates the location of the leak, pipe material, system age, repair history, and overall condition before recommending a repair, partial repipe, or whole-home repipe.
Homeowners who suspect a leak beneath the foundation can review our slab leak repair services before deciding how to proceed.
A pipe repair addresses a specific damaged section. A whole-home Uponor repipe replaces the aging hot- and cold-water distribution system covered by the proposal.
A localized repair is usually more appropriate when the failure is isolated and the surrounding piping remains in serviceable condition. A partial repipe may be recommended when deterioration is limited to one bathroom, one branch line, or a defined section of the house.
A whole-home repipe becomes more practical when leaks continue appearing in different locations or when the existing pipe material shows widespread deterioration. Although another patch may cost less today, repeated leak detection, water damage, drywall repair, and individual plumbing repairs can make continued patching increasingly expensive.
First Choice Plus Plumbing & Air provides a written recommendation based on the condition of the system. We do not recommend replacing every water line when a safe, dependable localized repair is the better option. Visit our plumbing repair services page for other repair options.
Uponor AquaPEX is flexible PEX-a pipe designed for potable hot- and cold-water plumbing systems. Its flexibility allows plumbers to create longer pipe runs with fewer directional fittings than many rigid piping systems require.
The Uponor ProPEX method uses an expansion tool to temporarily enlarge the PEX-a pipe and expansion ring. The pipe is placed over the fitting and then contracts around the connection. Installation must follow Uponor specifications, applicable plumbing codes, pressure limitations, support requirements, and protection requirements.
Potential advantages of a properly designed Uponor system include:
Uponor products are not immune to damage. PEX must be protected from excessive ultraviolet exposure, physical damage, improper chemicals, excessive temperature or pressure, faulty installation, and other conditions excluded by the manufacturer.
As of August 2026, a typical First Choice Plus Plumbing & Air Uponor whole-home repipe generally ranges from approximately $9,500 to $17,000. A typical two-bathroom home may fall near $10,000 to $12,000, while many three-bathroom homes fall near $12,000 to $15,000.
These figures are planning ranges, not guaranteed prices. The final price depends on the number of bathrooms and fixtures, square footage, number of stories, pipe routing, attic and wall access, water-service connections, permit requirements, drywall openings, and the exact work included in the proposal.
The written estimate should identify:
First Choice Plus Plumbing & Air offers free estimates for qualifying whole-home repiping projects. Financing options may also be available for approved applicants. Homeowners can review our current plumbing offers before scheduling.
A repiping appointment begins with an evaluation of the existing water-supply system. We review the pipe material, known leak history, fixture locations, water pressure, water heater connections, accessible plumbing areas, and possible routes for the new lines.
We prepare a written proposal showing the recommended repiping work and the major inclusions and exclusions. Homeowners have an opportunity to ask questions before approving the project.
Whole-home repiping generally requires a plumbing permit and inspection. Permit requirements depend on the property’s jurisdiction and the approved scope. Our office coordinates the applicable permitting and inspection steps identified in the agreement.
Before installation begins, our team prepares the work areas and identifies the wall or ceiling openings required to reach fixture connections. Access openings vary by home because plumbing layouts, framing, cabinetry, tile, and attic accessibility are different.
New Uponor lines are routed to the fixtures included in the proposal. The lines are supported, protected, connected, and identified according to the approved installation plan and applicable requirements.
The completed plumbing system is pressure-tested and checked for proper operation. Required inspections are scheduled with the appropriate local authority.
Our team tests included fixtures, reviews the completed plumbing work with the homeowner, and removes plumbing-related project debris. Drywall texture, painting, tile, cabinetry, or other finish work should be completed according to the responsibilities stated in the written proposal.
Many residential repiping projects require several working days, but the schedule depends on the size and layout of the home. A smaller single-story home with accessible pipe routes may take less time than a large, occupied, multi-story home with many bathrooms and limited access.
The project schedule can also be affected by permitting, inspection availability, specialty fixtures, hidden building conditions, and additional work requested after installation begins.
Water service may need to be shut off during active installation and testing. When practical, our team explains the anticipated shutoff periods so the household can plan around them. The exact schedule is provided after evaluating the property and approving the work scope.
Uponor AquaPEX is flexible PEX-a pipe used for residential hot- and cold-water distribution. Uponor’s ProPEX system joins the pipe to approved fittings using an expansion connection.
As of August 2026, First Choice Plus Plumbing & Air’s typical whole-home Uponor repiping range is approximately $9,500 to $17,000. Typical two-bathroom homes may range from $10,000 to $12,000, while many three-bathroom homes range from $12,000 to $15,000. An in-home inspection is required for an exact proposal.
Yes. First Choice Plus Plumbing & Air offers free estimates for qualifying whole-home repiping projects. Repair appointments and leak-detection services may have separate fees.
Uponor AquaPEX is a specific PEX-a product. The Uponor ProPEX system uses expansion fittings and rings designed for compatible Uponor pipe. Other PEX systems may use different pipe-manufacturing methods and connection types.
Uponor PEX-a does not experience metal corrosion or copper pitting, and its flexibility can reduce the number of directional fittings in some layouts. Copper remains an approved plumbing material when properly selected and installed. The right material depends on the property, local code, water conditions, routing, and project specifications.
No, not ordinarily. Whole-home repiping generally replaces pressurized hot- and cold-water supply lines. Drain, waste, vent, sewer, water-service, gas, and fixture replacement work must be listed separately if included.
Abandoned pipes may remain inside inaccessible walls or beneath the slab after being disconnected from the active water system. Accessible materials are handled according to the written project scope.
Repiping can bypass deteriorated water lines beneath the slab by routing new supply lines through approved accessible areas. A proper diagnosis is still needed because drainage leaks, fixture leaks, and other moisture sources require different repairs.
Whole-home repiping generally requires a plumbing permit and inspection. The exact requirements depend on the property’s jurisdiction and work scope. Permit responsibilities should be identified in the written proposal.
Many residential repipes take several working days. The final schedule depends on the home’s size, fixture count, accessibility, permit requirements, inspection timing, and any additional plumbing work.
Water service must be shut off during portions of the installation, connection, and testing process. The project team will explain the expected shutoff periods based on the work schedule.
Drywall responsibilities depend on the proposal. The agreement should state whether closing openings, applying texture, painting, tile work, or other finish repairs are included or assigned to another contractor.
Uponor’s current U.S. limited warranty lists 25-year product coverage for qualifying combinations of Uponor ProPEX pipe, fittings, and rings. Coverage depends on the current manufacturer terms, installer qualifications, documentation, installation conditions, and exclusions.
Yes. When deterioration is limited to a specific section, a partial repipe may be more appropriate than replacing the entire water-supply system. The recommendation is made after evaluating the property.
Financing may be available to approved applicants. Terms and approval are determined by the financing provider. Ask about current options during the estimate appointment.

Most whole-home repipes require controlled openings in walls or ceilings to reach plumbing fixtures and route the new water lines. The number and size of those openings depend on the framing, plumbing layout, cabinets, showers, tubs, ceilings, and available attic access.
Uponor PEX-a can often be routed through accessible cavities without removing large, continuous sections of wall. However, no contractor should promise a wall-free repipe before inspecting the property.
The written proposal should clearly state who is responsible for closing access openings, applying texture, painting, replacing tile, or completing other finish work. Confirm those responsibilities before authorizing the project.
Uponor’s current United States limited warranty lists a 25-year product warranty for qualifying installations that use Uponor ProPEX pipe with Uponor ProPEX fittings and rings. Shorter warranty terms can apply when Uponor pipe is combined with non-Uponor components.
Warranty coverage is subject to the manufacturer’s current terms, installation requirements, exclusions, claim procedures, and product combinations. Uponor requires qualifying products to be installed according to its instructions, applicable codes, and operating limitations. Installer qualifications and documentation may also affect eligibility.
First Choice Plus Plumbing & Air will explain the products proposed for your home, but Uponor determines coverage under its manufacturer warranty. Homeowners should retain the signed contract, final invoice, permit record, inspection documentation, and product information with their property record.
