If your water pressure has been dropping for no clear reason, or you're finding rust-colored water when you first turn on a faucet, your supply lines may be the problem, not your water heater or your fixtures. Flowmaster Plumbing repipes homes throughout Coon Rapids and the surrounding Anoka County suburbs, replacing old and failing pipe with copper or PEX systems built to last.

A few problems tend to show up together when supply lines are wearing out:
One of these on its own might just need a repair. A few of these together, on a house with original piping, usually means the pipe itself has reached the end of its usable life.
A lot of homes across the older sections of Coon Rapids and neighboring Anoka County suburbs were built between the 1960s and 1980s with galvanized steel supply lines. That pipe has an expected service life, and most of it around here is well past it at this point. Corrosion builds up on the inside of the pipe over decades, narrowing the diameter and shedding rust into the water supply. It's the single biggest driver of repiping calls we get in this area. Some homes from the 1970s and 80s also have polybutylene piping, which was popular at the time but is known to fail at the fittings. If your house falls into either of these categories, it's worth having it looked at even if things seem fine right now.
Both are solid options and we install either one depending on your home and your priorities.
Copper has been the standard for decades. It handles heat well, holds up to UV exposure if it's ever exposed, and has a long track record. It costs more in materials and labor because it has to be soldered.
PEX is flexible, resists freezing better than rigid pipe, and can be run with fewer joints, which means fewer potential leak points. It installs faster, which usually means lower labor cost.
Neither is a wrong answer for most homes. We'll tell you which one fits your situation, your water heater setup, and your budget when we quote the job.

Every repipe starts with a walkthrough. We look at what's accessible, what's behind walls or under slab, and map out the most direct path to get new lines to every fixture with the least amount of drywall disruption possible.
From there:
Timelines vary by house size and how much is behind finished walls, but most whole-home repipes are planned out in phases so you're not without water for long stretches. We'll give you a realistic timeframe during the quote, not a guess.
It depends on the size of the home and how much pipe is behind finished walls, but most projects are completed in a matter of days, often broken into phases to limit how long water is shut off in any one area. We'll give you a specific estimate during your quote.
Most homeowners stay in the house during the work. We phase the job area by area so you still have water access to at least part of the home most of the time.
Both are reliable choices. Copper has a longer track record and handles heat well; PEX is flexible, resists freezing, and typically costs less to install. We'll recommend one based on your home's layout and your budget.
If your home was built before the 1990s and you haven't had the plumbing updated, there's a good chance you still have original galvanized lines. Signs include rust-colored water, dropping pressure over time, and visible corrosion on any exposed pipe. We can confirm it during an inspection.
We open the minimum access needed to route new lines and coordinate the work so drywall repair afterward is straightforward. It's part of the job, and we plan the routing to keep that disruption as limited as possible.
Rusty water and dropping pressure don't fix themselves, and they tend to get worse the longer old pipe sits in the walls. Call (612) 461-7966 or request a quote and schedule service online and Yuriy will get eyes on your plumbing and give you a straight answer on what it needs.
