replumb

Redo water lines

To replumb is to replace or redo the plumbing in a building: We had to replumb the entire house after the pipes burst.

The work typically involves removing old pipes and installing new ones throughout a structure.

The term can extend figuratively to any fundamental reworking of a system's internal connections.
