If your home has aging pipes, it’s only a matter of time until you run into problems like burst pipes, corrosion, and blockages. The last thing you need is a preventable plumbing emergency. Replacing your plumbing can give you peace of mind, knowing your pipes are made from more resilient, long-lasting materials you’ll benefit from for years to come.
At Air Stars, our plumbers are fully trained and licensed to properly install all residential pipes and fixtures, including kitchen sinks, toilets, and pipes in the walls. We’re locally based and well-versed in the Oregon plumbing code. Our plumbers will install your pipes correctly to prevent future problems, often using more flexible pipes that are easier and faster to install than older systems.
Whether you want to replace older or leaking pipes or plan an addition to your home, call our expert plumbers.
What Does the Pipe and Fixture Installation Process Involve?
There are three main phases involved in new pipe and fixture installation.
Planning
Before getting into the hands-on work, we’ll determine the best pipe layout for your home’s unique needs. We’ll also help you obtain the necessary permits. Every house is different, so we’ll take some time to plan the installation process.
Pipe installation
Putting in pipes takes precision and expert skill to ensure the plumbing runs efficiently without compromising your home’s structural integrity. We’ll make sure you have the correct water pressure and install pipes for excellent water flow using the appropriate pipe shapes and materials.
Fixture installation
Installation includes drains, sinks, showerheads, and attaching appliances like dishwashers or washing machines. We’ll then test it all for leaks, backflow, or similar problems.
If you’re having pipes replaced, we’ll plan the pipe shape and materials, make sure your plumbing system’s capacity will meet your needs, and install energy-efficient designs to reduce unnecessary energy consumption.
Our plumbers know the latest techniques and use the most modern tools and piping systems. Fewer parts can fit into tight spaces with less effort, making installation faster and helping us avoid demolition, depending on the area that needs replacing.
If you need plumbing services, count on Air Stars to do the job right and treat your home with care.
How Long Does Pipe and Fixture Installation Take?
The time it takes to install pipes and fixtures depends on the job. Every house is different, and every customer has specific needs. If you simply want to replace some fixtures or change out a small section of pipe, the job may take a couple of hours, but a major plumbing installation can take a lot of time.
Contact Air Stars and we’ll set up a time to come to your home and have a look. After we’ve seen what the job entails, we’ll give you a time estimate.

Benefits of Professional Pipe and Fixture Installation
Hiring a professional plumber for pipe and fixture installation is important. Your plumbing system is complex and affects all areas of your home. If you opt for a DIY solution or hire an unlicensed plumber, you could face serious problems like:
- Neglecting to obtain the correct permits, which can lead to facing fines or construction delays
- Leaks or flooding, leading to high water bills, wastage, and property damage
- Improper water pressure
- Connecting the wrong materials, leading to corrosion
- Using the wrong pipes for their intended purpose, like plastic that can melt at high temperatures
- Improper installation techniques, like overtightening, that can lead to stress cracks
- Installing pipes at the wrong angle, leading to clogs or low water pressure
- Electrical risks when installing appliances
Your plumber should be licensed and experienced, with knowledge of complex plumbing systems and components, including drainage systems, appliances, fixtures, and how fixtures integrate into plumbing lines.
At Air Stars, our plumbers are highly skilled and licensed in Oregon. They use the latest techniques and tools to get the job done safely and to code. You can count on our plumbing solutions to last.
