Local Story: Whole-Home PEX Install on Tulare Drive
We did a full PEX water line installation for a homeowner off Tulare Drive. Their original copper pipes had corroded and started leaking behind the walls. It was causing water spots on the ceiling and a musty smell in the hallway.
This older part of Fountain Valley still has lots of homes with copper or galvanized steel pipes. We recommended a full repipe with PEX-A, since it bends around corners and holds up well over time.
We ran the new lines through the attic, used insulated supports, and added new shutoffs at all fixtures. Job took two days, and now they’ve got quiet pipes and better water pressure. We even helped them pull the city permit to make sure it was all above board.
Why Install PEX in Fountain Valley?
PEX is safer, cleaner, and faster to install than old-school metal lines. It’s also quieter than copper lines—less banging and vibration when the water’s flowing or when valves shut off quickly. That makes a big difference in multi-bathroom homes.
Here’s what makes it a smart choice:
- Won’t corrode or rust like copper or steel
- Flexible piping needs fewer fittings, reducing leak risk
- Rated for both hot and cold water
- Approved for residential use in Fountain Valley and across California
We also use new digital pressure gauges and electronic line mapping tools so our PEX installs are precise from start to finish.

Common DIY Mistakes When Installing PEX
We’ve walked into jobs where homeowners tried to run their own PEX lines. Most issues come from mismatching crimp rings or buying the wrong pipe type entirely. Others use old tools that don’t make a solid seal—or worse, forget to support long runs and they sag over time.
Then there’s the folks who bury PEX directly in dirt without sleeving it. That can void warranty and invite root damage. One guy even tied PEX to rebar in a slab pour. Didn’t end well.
If you’re not sure, call us. We’ll walk you through it. Helping our neighbors make smart decisions is just as important as the work itself.
