Drywall Access and Patch After Repipe in Aldrich, MO
The worry that keeps people from repiping is the walls. A whole house repiping does not mean tearing out rooms. Plumbers open small, square access holes where pipe has to turn or connect, often around 6 by 8 inches, and fish the new line between them.
SPB Hydro Plumbing connects Aldrich, MO homeowners with crews that plan the patch work as part of the job. Openings are cut on clean lines so the original piece can sometimes go back in. Patches are backed, taped, mudded in coats, sanded and textured to match orange peel, knockdown or smooth finish.
Closet walls and the backs of cabinets get used for access where possible, which keeps holes out of living spaces. Paint matching is often left to the owner, since wall colors fade unevenly over the years.
Ask how many openings to expect before the work starts. Call SPB Hydro Plumbing at (866) 335-0301 to plan drywall access and patching for your repipe.
