Depends. A repipe simply means that your current pipe supply lines have a problem that needs to be addressed. Do copper pipes need to be replaced, sometimes, especially if they are installed incorrectly, or if you have a highly corrosive water quality in your area. A good water system would include water treatment, and pressure regulators with the correct type of piping to ensure that the water pipe last for the longest possible period. I have seen copper repipes last 20 plus years with no problems and some only 1 year because of poor installation practices.
