Repipe checklists
Print them or keep them on your phone. Log every leak, put two estimates side by side, and get the house ready the week before the crew arrives.
- Repipe quote comparison worksheet
Use this worksheet to put two or three repipe estimates on the same footing, so you compare scope before you compare totals.
- Make a water shutoff map
A one-page map of every shutoff valve in the house. Make it now, and update it after a repipe when valve locations change.
- House prep checklist for a repipe
Work through this list in the days before a repipe starts so the crew can reach every wall and you can keep living in the house.
- Contractor vetting checklist
Tick through this list for every contractor you are considering. It turns the advice in our hiring guide into something you can fill in during a call or visit.
- Copper or PEX decision worksheet
Answer these questions before you meet contractors. Your answers will not pick a material for you, but they make the conversation much more specific.
- Post-repipe walkthrough checklist
Walk the house with the lead installer before final payment. This list helps you confirm the work is complete and that you know how the new system works.
- Water meter leak test
Your water meter can show a hidden leak when every fixture is off. This test and log help you spot slab or wall leaks early.
