Repipe Specialists

What Repipe Specialists does

Repipe Specialists, operating as National Renovations, LLC and headquartered in Burbank, California, is a U.S. residential repiping services company founded in 1991. The company specializes exclusively in whole-home repiping using Uponor PEX-A cross-linked polyethylene tubing with ProPEX expansion fittings and American-made Grade L copper pipes, executing projects through its proprietary One-Stop Repipe Process that handles permits, installation, wall patching, inspections, and daily water restoration, typically completing jobs in 1-2 days. Repipe Specialists serves individual homeowners (primary segment, $4,500-$15,000+ per project) and multi-family property managers/HOAs (secondary segment) across 12+ states including Arizona, California, Colorado, Florida, Georgia, Illinois, Nevada, North Carolina, Oklahoma, Oregon, Texas, Utah, and Washington, with a national call center (800-216-0132) and 80+ city-specific microsites driving localized demand generation.

The company has completed over 75,000 repipes since founding and operates an asset-light model combining direct-to-consumer sales with a Service Provider Partnership Program that delivers guaranteed jobs to certified local plumbing, drywall, and painting contractors under Repipe Specialists' contractor licenses and insurance. Financing is offered through GreenSky (18 months no interest when paid in full), and the company provides lifetime workmanship warranties alongside 25-year material warranties from Uponor. Repipe Specialists has been backed by private equity firm Gryphon Investors since 2022 (Heritage Fund acquisition, founder Raymond Gray retained ownership), and in January 2025 acquired A-1 Total Service Plumbing as its first add-on, extending into commercial, municipal, and industrial plumbing and lining services. The business is currently classified as private with no public revenue or headcount disclosures available.

Recent moves6 records

Expansion highlights6 records

Direct peers

• Repipe1: Repipe1 is one of Repipe Specialists' closest direct competitors, also operating a multi-state residential whole-home repipe model focused on PEX and copper with lifetime warranties and in-house project management. Highly comparable in service offering, target customer, and go-to-market motion.
• PEX Repipe: PEX Repipe is a regional residential repipe specialist using PEX systems with a direct-to-consumer GTM motion. It competes head-to-head on whole-home repipe jobs in overlapping geographies and shares a similar single-focus model.

Broad incumbents

• Mr. Rooter Plumbing: Mr. Rooter is a national plumbing franchise under Neighborly offering residential and commercial plumbing services including repiping. It competes with Repipe Specialists on the repipe job but as part of a broader plumbing portfolio rather than a single-focus repipe specialist.
• Roto-Rooter: Roto-Rooter is the largest US plumbing and drain services franchise, providing repipe, water line, and sewer services to residential and commercial customers. It overlaps with Repipe Specialists on repipe work but serves a much broader service mix.
• Benjamin Franklin Plumbing: Benjamin Franklin Plumbing is a national plumbing franchise (part of Authority Brands) offering residential plumbing including repipe services. It is comparable as a multi-state consumer plumbing brand with a direct-to-consumer model, though it is broader than Repipe Specialists' dedicated repipe focus.
• HomeServe: HomeServe is a home repair services and warranty provider offering interior plumbing, water line, and external pipe coverage to US homeowners. While not a direct repipe installer at scale, it is highly comparable as a national homeowner-facing plumbing infrastructure platform that influences repipe demand.

Emerging players

• Nu Flow Technologies: Nu Flow provides trenchless pipe relining and rehabilitation technology for residential and commercial plumbing systems. It is comparable as an alternative pipe remediation approach that could displace some repipe demand if lining becomes a more widely accepted substitute.

Others

• Neighborly (The Dwyer Group): Neighborly is the parent of Mr. Rooter and other home services franchises. As a strategic acquirer in the home services space, it is comparable as a consolidator archetype and a potential competitive counter-roll-up threat to Repipe Specialists' PE-led strategy.
• Authority Brands: Authority Brands owns multiple home services franchises including Benjamin Franklin Plumbing. It is comparable as a PE-backed multi-brand home services platform and a potential strategic acquirer or competitor in the repipe category.

Regional players

• American Home Shield: American Home Shield is a national home warranty provider whose plans cover plumbing components and indirectly drive demand toward approved service providers. It is adjacent to Repipe Specialists as a channel that shapes where homeowners turn when pipe problems emerge.
