FAQs

Why should I consider upgrading my plumbing pipes?

Upgrading your plumbing pipes can prevent leaks, improve water pressure, and enhance the overall efficiency of your plumbing system. Older pipes can corrode over time, leading to potential water contamination and frequent repairs. Modern materials, such as PEX or copper, are more durable and can increase the longevity of your plumbing system.

How do I know if my plumbing pipes need to be upgraded?

Signs that your pipes may need upgrading include frequent leaks, discolored water, unusual noises, or low water pressure. If your home is older than 50 years, it’s also worth having your plumbing inspected, as older pipes may be made of materials like galvanized steel, which corrode over time.

What types of pipes are used in modern plumbing upgrades?

Common types of pipes used in modern upgrades include PEX (cross-linked polyethylene), copper, and CPVC (chlorinated polyvinyl chloride). PEX is flexible, easy to install, and resistant to scale and chlorine. Copper is durable and has a long lifespan, but it can be more expensive. CPVC is resistant to heat and chemicals, making it a good choice for hot water lines.

What is the expected lifespan of upgraded plumbing pipes?

The lifespan of upgraded plumbing pipes varies by material. PEX pipes typically last 40-50 years, copper pipes can last 70-80 years, and CPVC pipes have an average lifespan of 50-70 years. Regular maintenance and proper installation can help ensure these pipes reach their maximum lifespan.

How long does a plumbing pipe upgrade project typically take?

The duration of a plumbing pipe upgrade project depends on the size and complexity of the job. For a typical single-family home, the project can take anywhere from a few days to a week. Larger homes or those with more complex plumbing systems may require additional time. Your plumber can provide a more accurate timeline based on your specific situation.

Will upgrading my plumbing pipes increase my home’s value?

Yes, upgrading your plumbing pipes can increase your home’s value. Prospective buyers are often attracted to homes with modern, efficient plumbing systems. Additionally, new plumbing reduces the risk of future leaks and repairs, making your home more appealing and potentially fetching a higher market price.

my house is almost 100 years old and the pipes are just as old . one burst last night so my landlord called hep and the tech Greg came out he looked at the issue and talked it over with my landlord Greg told my landlord he wouldn't be able to fix it seeing how late it was but promised he would have two techs come out first thing in the morning . when Camron and Curtis showed up this morning they redone all the water pipes in my house it took a few hours but man my water pressure is so much better .
