Every Trade, Kept In-House
We confidently state that our in-house expertise is unmatched by anyone. Unlike our competitors who often rely on subcontractors, we take a different approach. Over the course of 30+ years, we have hired top talent from various trades essential for our repiping processes. We’ve trained these individuals to plumb, and they’ve brought their outside expertise into our company. Each team member receives an apprenticeship and becomes licensed once they meet state requirements.
This method has allowed us to maintain a quality that our competitors can’t match, resulting in a team of versatile, “do-it-all” plumbers. Even our web developer holds a master plumber’s license.
By keeping everything in-house, our clients see lower repiping costs with us than with our competitors. We manage every detail of each project in-house – eliminating the markups from multiple contractors on services like asbestos abatement, drywall and tile repairs, and plan development. With just one point of contact, our clients enjoy a smooth, efficient project without delays caused by coordination issues between subcontractors.
Piping Systems Designed Specifically for Each Property
At Replumb Specialties Inc., we use top-quality materials and components to construct our water systems, always meeting or exceeding building code standards. However, we believe that simply meeting these standards isn’t enough. When designing new water systems, we focus on the specific needs of residents, building occupants, and management teams. Our components are designed to surpass the building’s capacity, and we choose the most practical routes for water lines. This approach not only ensures a robust, high-performing system but also helps reduce utility costs for our clients. Additionally, we strategically place water shutoff locations for easy access by management teams, especially during emergencies.
Project Communications: Customized for Engineers and Construction Managers
Effective communication with all stakeholders is essential during a pipe replacement project. Many inexperienced companies or management teams overlook this, but our extensive experience has taught us that it is one of the most important parts of effectively repiping a property.
Handling a complex plumbing project, particularly in an occupied building, requires more than just technical skills. It demands clear, constructive communication to ensure everyone understands the process and the eventual benefits. We prioritize this, often assigning a dedicated team member to create detailed informational materials and manage communications with all parties involved. This approach ensures everyone is informed and the project progresses smoothly.
Keeping all stakeholders informed is essential during a pipe replacement project, so we make sure residents receive updates around the clock through text and email notifications. They can easily choose to subscribe or unsubscribe as needed. Our updates typically include reminders like ‘the pipe replacement project will start in your apartment in one week’ or ‘the water will be turned off tomorrow, please prepare.’ We promptly inform residents of any changes to the project timeline. This proactive communication approach ensures everyone is aware of the project status, significantly reducing resident dissatisfaction.
We prepare detailed informational packets for each resident, including a pipe replacement schedule, color-coded in-unit work maps, and a project overview.
Our in-unit work maps offer residents a clear visual representation of the work happening in their homes. The color-coding highlights areas where our team will be working and the paths they will use to access these areas. This visual guide helps residents understand exactly where the work will occur and how it might affect their daily routines. The maps are easy to read, providing a comprehensive view of the entire unit and ensuring residents grasp the project’s scope.
Additionally, we provide residents with an overview that outlines every step of the repiping process. This detailed guide includes a clear project timeline and necessary preparations residents should make before work begins. Written in plain, easy-to-understand language, our overview empowers residents to feel confident and well-informed throughout the entire pipe replacement experience.
We understand that some management teams prefer to handle resident communications themselves. In such cases, we assist by providing handouts and media using our clients’ branding, including logos, colors, and fonts. This ensures any project-related information feels familiar to residents and maintains consistency with the client’s previous communications.

Brochure Created With A Client's Branding
For each pipe replacement project, we create a dedicated project website for residents who prefer digital updates. These websites prominently display the pipe replacement schedule, allowing residents to easily track the project’s progress. The website also includes a simple contact form, enabling residents to reach out to the team working on their building with any questions or concerns. To help residents feel more comfortable, we include a “Meet the Team” section where they can get to know the experienced professionals working in their apartments.
Our Turnkey Pipe Replacement Process
Our turnkey repipe process is designed to be minimally intrusive to residents while delivering top-notch results. For a detailed overview, visit our Turnkey Process page. Alternatively, we provide a video and a brief summary below.
· On-site Assessment and Planning: Our turnkey repipe process in multifamily properties begins with a thorough on-site assessment of the existing plumbing system. Our team evaluates the project scope, identifies potential challenges, and gathers all necessary information to develop a detailed action plan.
· Informing Residents About the Project: Before starting any work, we ensure all residents are fully informed about the project. This may include individual greetings, hosting informational meetings, setting up a dedicated project website, providing informational handouts, and accommodating any specific requests from property management.
· Minimally Invasive Pipe Replacement: Our team works only in designated areas as outlined in the project’s In-Unit Work Maps. This ensures that most areas in each unit remain work-free and accessible to residents at all times. Water typically remains on during most of the pipe replacement, except on days when final connections are being made. Even on these days, water is available before and after working hours. We also roll up our work-area protection materials at the end of each day to minimize disruption to residents.
· Restoration and Cleanup: After installing the new piping and completing all required inspections, we repair any drywall and tile openings made during the process. Once the drywall texture is applied and paint and tile grout are matched, our team performs a final cleanup of all affected units.
· Post-Project Support and Warranty: Our commitment extends beyond project completion. We offer ongoing support and a comprehensive warranty to provide peace of mind long after the repipe is finished.
