Expert Repiping Services for Twin Cities Homeowners

Whole-Home Repiping

Northern Benjamin Franklin replaces outdated supply lines with modern materials, protecting the plumbing in your home for decades rather than patching the same pipe every winter.

When Repiping Is the Honest Answer

Repeated pinhole leaks, water that runs rust-coloured after the house sits, pressure that has dropped room by room, or galvanized pipe still in service. Any one of those on its own is a repair. Together they mean the pipe itself is done.

We will tell you which of those you are looking at, and we will say so if you are better off waiting.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I know if I need to repipe my home? +
If you’re experiencing frequent pipe leaks, brown or rusty water, a drop in water pressure, or an unusual taste or smell in your water, your pipes may be corroded or failing internally. A professional inspection is the only way to confirm whether a full repipe is necessary.
Do older homes in the Twin Cities need repiping more often? +
Yes. Many homes in Minneapolis and St. Paul neighborhoods like Powderhorn, Nokomis, and Hamline-Midway still have galvanized steel or cast iron pipes from before the 1960s. These materials corrode over time, leading to leaks, water quality issues, and pressure loss - all signs it may be time for repiping.
What materials are used for repiping? +
The most common materials today are PEX (cross-linked polyethylene) and copper. PEX is flexible, durable, freeze-resistant, and cost-effective - making it ideal for Twin Cities homes that face extreme cold and freeze-thaw cycles. Copper is more traditional and preferred for certain applications or customer preferences.
How long does a whole-house repipe take? +
Most repiping jobs take 1 to 3 days, depending on the size and layout of the home. Older homes or those with finished basements may require more time for access and restoration, but we take care to minimize disruption and protect your space throughout the process.
Will repiping increase my home’s value? +
Yes. Repiping eliminates aging or unreliable plumbing, boosts buyer confidence, and can improve your home’s resale value - especially in markets like Minneapolis–St. Paul where buyers are cautious about older infrastructure.
Can I stay in my house during the repipe? +
Usually, yes. We work in phases to ensure you’re not without water for extended periods. Our team maintains a clean workspace, protects your floors and walls, and communicates clearly about which areas are being worked on each day.
Is PEX better than copper for Minnesota homes? +
In many cases, yes. PEX is more resistant to freezing and expansion, which is a major advantage in Minnesota’s subzero winters. It also resists corrosion from hard water, which is common in several Twin Cities suburbs like Brooklyn Park, Eagan, and Burnsville.
How much does repiping cost in the Twin Cities? +
Costs vary based on home size, pipe material, and accessibility. While older homes in Minneapolis and St. Paul may have higher costs due to wall or floor access, we provide upfront pricing with no surprises - and only recommend a full repipe when it’s truly the best long-term solution.
