How to Prepare Your Family (and Pets) for a Full-Home Repipe

Working with repiping professionals requires some preparation to minimize stress for everyone at home. Families should plan around temporary water shutoffs by stocking drinking water and preparing simple meals in advance. Create a safe, quiet space for children away from work zones to keep them comfortable. For pets, consider kenneling, daycare, or arranging a separate room to reduce noise-related anxiety. Cover furniture and valuables to protect against dust, and communicate with the repiping team about access points. A little planning ensures a smoother process, helping your family and pets stay calm while your home’s water system is upgraded efficiently.
