Repiping a Salina Home
Houses from the 1950s and 1960s are old enough that their supply pipes deserve a second look. A contractor can price replacing them in stages around how you use the house.

02 / Questions
Questions about this job here
Is my 1960s house too new for a repipe?
Not necessarily. The decision depends on what the pipe is made of and how it is behaving, which a contractor can judge on a visit.
Can I do the repipe myself?
The county's homeowner permit allows work inside the house only, with conditions. Ask the contractor, or Plumbing Control, what applies to you.

Supply Repiping in Salina
Salina's houses fall in the middle of the metro's age spread. The median is 1960, 77.0 percent of units were built before 1980, and 14.5 percent in 1939 or earlier. Mattydale, Lyncourt and Galeville, which are separate areas inside the town, have their own median build years of 1953, 1954 and 1956. In houses of that era, some supply runs may be exposed in basement ceilings or crawl spaces.
Where runs are reachable, a staged job is realistic. A contractor can replace the basement mains first and the branch lines to the bathrooms later, or the reverse.
At 68.7 percent owner-occupancy, the repipe decision sits with the household at most Salina addresses. Ask what the old pipe is, what the new pipe is made of, and whether the quote covers both the basement mains and the branch lines. Under county law the Master Plumber who does the repipe takes out the permit in their own name.
