The issue is not removing old pipes, but even getting access to install new pipes. This typically means opening up walls and floors, and patching the resulting holes after it's done.

Yep, this was the longest part of the process. Plumbers were in and out in 3 days but left a huge mess to deal with, which we were aware of.
