Yes. After repiping is completed, wall and ceiling access openings created to install new piping are patched so surfaces are left ready for paint or final finishing.
What does wall patching after repiping include?
Wall patching typically includes installing drywall where access holes were made, securing it properly, and applying joint compound to smooth the surface. The goal is to restore the wall to a paint ready condition.
Is painting included after wall patching?
Painting is usually not included unless specifically stated in the scope of work. Patched areas are left ready for paint so the homeowner can match existing finishes.
Will all walls need to be opened during a repipe?
Not always. The number and location of access openings depend on the plumbing layout, construction type, and repipe method. Technicians plan access points carefully to minimize wall and ceiling openings.
Are floors or tile affected during wall patching?
Wall patching typically does not involve floor or tile restoration unless access was required through those surfaces. Any additional restoration requirements are discussed before work begins.
Why is wall patching important after repiping?
Proper wall patching restores the appearance of the home, protects the new plumbing, and prepares surfaces for final finishing. It also ensures the repipe project is completed cleanly and professionally.
