We're embarking on our whole house re-pipe. The builder (KB Homes) used copper for plumbing - typical for a 1995 built home. That made me wonder: Do new builds use copper, or PEX for plumbing. Does a buyer have a choice?
At present we're using Repipe1. Cost for a 2200 SF home (Kitchen, 2.75 BA, etc) is quoted at $7,500 however with new shower plumbing and repainting, it will come to $10k. Thankfully our slab leak was localized to our kitchen, flowing outside rather than flooding the kitchen.
