Galvanized Pipe Replacement in Toms River, NJ

Many older homes in Toms River, NJ still have galvanized steel pipes, which are vulnerable to corrosion, rust, and mineral buildup. This leads to low water pressure, discolored water, and eventual leaks. Our team specializes in the complete removal and replacement of these outdated systems with modern PEX or copper piping. This upgrade not only resolves existing issues but also greatly improves water quality and flow, boosting your home's value and plumbing reliability for decades to come.

PEX-A Whole-Home Repiping in Toms River

PEX-A tubing is flexible, resists scale buildup and handles thermal expansion well, which suits hard water. We use Uponor or similar PEX-A with cold expansion fittings that open up the full pipe diameter. Long continuous runs mean fewer joints in walls and attics. Most homes are repiped with PEX in two to three days.

Kitec and Polybutylene Replacement in Toms River

Kitec, with its orange or blue PEX-AL-PEX pipe and brass fittings, and gray polybutylene pipe are both known for failures. Many homes built in the 1980s through early 2000s contain one or the other. We replace these systems completely so your home is easier to insure and sell. Visible pipe at the water heater often tells us which type you have.

PEX Pipe Replacement in Toms River, NJ

PEX (cross-linked polyethylene) is a flexible, cost-effective, and highly durable piping material that's gaining popularity for repiping projects. GLN Plumbing specializes in PEX pipe replacement in Toms River, NJ, offering a system that resists freezing, corrosion, and scale buildup. Its flexibility allows for fewer connections, reducing potential leak points. PEX also noticeably dampens water hammer noise, providing a quieter plumbing system for your home.

Drywall Patching and Restoration in Toms River, NJ

Repiping requires small openings in walls and ceilings to reach fixtures. Our crews cut clean openings, protect surrounding areas and patch every hole when the plumbing is done. We match common textures like knockdown and orange peel. Your walls are ready for paint when we finish.

Repiping for Hard Water Areas in Toms River, NJ

Plenty of homes outside the bigger towns, including some around Toms River, still draw from private wells that call for periodic testing and occasional treatment. Water in many areas contains minerals that cause scale buildup inside pipes over time. This hard water scale narrows the pipe's diameter, reduces water pressure, and can speed up corrosion, especially in galvanized and older copper pipes. Our repipe specialists consider local water conditions, recommending materials like PEX or properly installed copper that are more resistant to mineral buildup, ensuring a longer-lasting plumbing system.

Copper Repiping in Toms River, NJ

Some homeowners prefer copper for its long track record and rigidity. We install Type L copper, which has a thicker wall than the Type M used in many older homes. Joints are soldered with lead-free solder or pressed with ProPress fittings. Copper repipes typically cost more and take a bit longer than PEX.
