Drywall Patching and Restoration in Akron, OH

Kitec and Polybutylene Replacement in Akron

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 later. Visible pipe at the water heater often tells us what you have.

Emergency Repipe Services in Akron, OH

Sometimes a pipe burst or widespread failure calls for an immediate repipe. HRL Plumbing offers emergency repipe services for critical situations in Akron, OH.

We work efficiently to restore your plumbing system and limit disruption during an unexpected crisis, ensuring your home safe and functional.

Drain Line Repiping in Akron

While often overlooked, your home's drain lines are just as important as your supply lines. Old cast iron or corroded drain pipes can lead to frequent clogs, slow drainage, and even sewage backups. HRL Plumbing provides comprehensive drain line repiping in Akron, replacing failing waste pipes with new, smooth PVC or ABS lines. This ensures efficient waste removal and prevents future drainage problems, protecting your home from foul odors and unsanitary conditions.

Copper Repiping in Akron, OH

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 usually cost more and take a bit longer than PEX.

Repiping for Hard Water Areas in Akron, OH

Private wells serve many rural homes, and iron, sulfur and hardness are common issues that call for filtration or softening. Water in many areas contains minerals that contribute to scale buildup inside pipes over time. This hard water scale narrows the pipe's diameter, reduces water pressure, and can accelerate 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 accumulation, ensuring a longer-lasting plumbing system.
