How long does a Poly B replacement take?
The straight answer
For a typical single-family home, the full job runs on the order of days, not weeks: repipe, inspection, then drywall repair and paint. You keep living in the home, and water is typically only off during working hours on changeover days.
The longer version
Measured across completed jobs, a typical single-family repipe is a matter of days: the crew opens access, runs the new lines, the work is inspected, then drywall repair and paint close it out. Most homeowners stay in the house throughout, with water down only during working hours while lines are switched over. The replacement process walkthrough breaks down all eight stages with the timelines and paperwork each one produces.
