Whole House Repiping in Westlake, TX
Westlake homes deserve plumbing that keeps up with the standard they were built to.
Many of Westlake's finest homes were built between the 1970s and 1990s, and the original plumbing in those houses is now showing its age. Galvanized steel pipes corrode from the inside out, copper lines develop pinhole leaks, and decades of hard Austin-area water leave mineral deposits that quietly strangle water pressure. Cold is on the Right Plumbing & Air specializes in whole house repiping for established Westlake homes, replacing failing pipe systems with durable modern materials and restoring your plumbing to the performance your home was designed to have.
Licensed and insured specialists with experience in Westlake's older luxury homes.
Upfront pricing with full estimates before any work begins.
Emergency service available when you can't afford to wait.

About Our Whole House Repiping in Westlake
Westlake is full of beautifully maintained homes that have been cared for meticulously on the outside, but plumbing systems don't get that same visible attention. Original galvanized or copper pipes from a 1975 or 1985 build have been working without pause for decades, and the Hill Country's notoriously hard water accelerates the corrosion and scale buildup that shortens pipe life. When those systems start to fail, the signs are easy to miss at first: a little discoloration here, slightly lower pressure there. By the time most Westlake homeowners call us, the problems have been building inside the walls for years.
At Cold is on the Right, we approach whole house repiping in Westlake with the level of care and precision these homes require. We assess your existing system thoroughly before recommending a course of action, and we work with you on material selection so you understand exactly what's going in and why. Whether your home has a sprawling footprint with multiple bathrooms or a layout that requires careful planning around mature landscaping and finished interiors, we handle the project with the craftsmanship Westlake homeowners expect. Call us at (512) 271-2172 to schedule an assessment.

Repiping Services We Provide in Westlake
Full Whole House Repiping
We replace every supply line in your home from the main shutoff to each fixture, eliminating the patchwork of aging pipes that older Westlake homes often have. This is the most comprehensive solution for homes where corrosion or repeated failures have spread throughout the system. The result is a unified, reliable plumbing system built with modern materials rated to last 40 to 50 years.
Galvanized Pipe Replacement
Many Westlake homes built in the 1970s and early 1980s were originally plumbed with galvanized steel, which corrodes from the inside over time and releases rust into your water supply. As the interior walls of galvanized pipe narrow with corrosion, water pressure drops noticeably and water discoloration becomes common. Replacing galvanized lines with PEX or copper resolves both problems at their source.
Learn MoreCopper Pipe Repiping
Copper was the premium choice for plumbing in Westlake's 1980s and 1990s builds, but decades of hard water and minor acidic fluctuations in Austin-area water chemistry cause pinhole leaks that multiply over time. Rather than chasing individual leaks through finished walls, a full copper repipe addresses the underlying problem. We can repipe with new copper or transition to PEX depending on your priorities and budget.
Learn MorePEX Repiping
PEX piping has become the preferred material for whole house repiping because of its flexibility, resistance to scale buildup from hard water, and long service life. For large Westlake homes with complex layouts, PEX is particularly practical because it can be run in longer continuous runs with fewer joints, reducing future leak risk. It also handles Austin's temperature swings more forgivingly than rigid pipe materials.
Partial Repiping and Targeted Pipe Replacement
Not every situation calls for a full repipe. Sometimes a specific wing of the house, a single water line serving a primary bathroom, or a known problem section is the right place to start. We assess the overall condition of your plumbing and give you an honest recommendation about whether targeted replacement addresses the problem or whether a full repipe makes more sense long term.
Learn MoreLeak Detection Before and After Repiping
Before we finalize a repiping plan, we use professional leak detection to locate any active leaks and map the extent of damage to your current system. This step is especially important in Westlake's larger homes, where a leak inside a finished wall or under a slab can go undetected for months. Identifying all problem areas before work begins ensures nothing gets missed.
Learn MoreSlab Leak Evaluation and Repiping
Many of Westlake's established homes were built on slab foundations, and pipes running under or through the slab are particularly vulnerable to corrosion and shifting over time. If you've been diagnosed with a slab leak or suspect one, repiping above the slab is often a better long-term solution than repeatedly repairing in-slab lines. We evaluate both options and explain the trade-offs so you can make an informed decision.
Learn MoreWater Heater Integration During Repiping
A whole house repipe is the ideal time to evaluate and upgrade your water heater, since the supply lines serving it will already be replaced. Many Westlake homes still have original tank water heaters that are well past their expected service life, and pairing a new water heater with new supply lines ensures the whole system starts fresh. We coordinate both services to minimize disruption and keep your project on schedule.
Learn MoreFixture and Valve Replacement
Aging shutoff valves and supply stops are often just as worn as the pipes they control, and they can fail during or after a repiping project if not addressed. As part of our repiping work, we inspect and replace corroded or brittle valves throughout the house so you have reliable shutoff capability at every fixture. This is a small step that prevents big problems down the road in an older home.
Emergency Repiping Response
When a pipe fails catastrophically in a Westlake home, the damage can escalate quickly given the size and finish quality of most properties here. We offer emergency service for urgent repiping situations where waiting simply isn't an option. Call us and we'll get to your home fast to stop the damage, assess what needs to be replaced, and get your water back on as quickly as possible.
Learn MorePost-Repipe Pressure Testing and Inspection
Every whole house repipe we complete in Westlake finishes with a full pressure test of the new system before we close up any walls or call the job done. This step verifies every connection is secure and the system is performing to spec. We also walk you through the completed work and show you the key shutoffs and access points in your newly repiped system.

We Know Westlake Homes
Westlake's housing stock is dominated by large custom and semi-custom homes built from the mid-1970s through the 1990s, many sitting on generous lots shaded by mature live oaks and cedar. These are homes that were built with quality in mind, but the plumbing systems inside them reflect the standards of their era. Galvanized steel supply lines, early copper runs, and original shutoff valves that haven't moved in thirty years are common findings once we open the walls, and the Hill Country's hard water has been quietly leaving scale deposits inside those pipes for decades.
We've worked in enough Westlake homes to understand the specific challenges they present: sprawling floor plans where pressure issues affect one wing but not another, slab foundations where in-slab copper has been corroding for years, and meticulous interiors where homeowners reasonably expect careful, clean work. That familiarity shapes how we plan every repipe here. We know what to look for, we know how to work around finished spaces wherever possible, and we know how to give Westlake homeowners the straight answer on what their system actually needs.

High Fives from Austin Homeowners
Graysen and Andrew from Cold is on the Right came out just a couple hours after I called and took care of cutting out my kitchen faucet. They were professional, friendly, and clearly knowledgeable, explaining everything in a straightforward way without any upselling or confusion. It was refreshing to get honest answers and excellent service so quickly. I’ll definitely be using them again for future plumbing needs.
Services: Faucet repair
Price assessment: Reasonable price
We contacted Cold is on the Right today with an urgent plumbing need. Their very professional and organized crew arrived within 30 minutes and fixed our issue. We called five other plumbing companies before them and no one was able to help us. Cold is on the Right will now be the first plumbers we call.
Services: Drain cleaning
We called due to slow drainage and apparently main line backing up into master bathroom shower and sink. There is an automated line that takes your information and apparently works very well. Plumbers Billy and Jeremy showed up promptly after we were informed they were being dispatched this morning, they stayed and worked until the problem was solved and advised on possible future repairs that would need to be done. They were professional, smart, respectful of our home, and efficient in their actions. Let us know what things would cost and were honest in their assessment of what would be needed next and how (un) likely our homeowners insurance would be able to help. I appreciate the service and the fair treatment by these gentlemen. Thank you.
Santiago and Kyle were amazing during our total HVAC system replacement. Kind, informative, knowledgeable and careful to ensure a smooth install. They were efficient and got my AC working before my family arrived for spring break. Now enjoying the cool air with family. Great pricing and quick turn around from quote to finished job. Thank you! 10/10 would recommend them to anyone needing HVCA or plumbing work.
These guys are prompt and very polite, and explain your options well without trying to upsell. We thought we needed three things replaced, but they showed us that one of the three just needed an adjustment rather than a replacement. Wonderful service!
