FAQs
What makes your Allardt pipe upgrade service “cutting-edge”?
We combine high-grade PEX-A and epoxy-lined copper piping with trenchless technology such as cured-in-place pipe (CIPP) relining. These materials resist corrosion, scale, and freezing far better than traditional galvanized or PVC lines, and the trenchless methods allow us to rehabilitate existing pipes through small access points rather than open-cut trenching. The result is faster installation, minimal yard or slab disturbance, and a life expectancy of 50+ years.
How disruptive is the pipe upgrade process to my home or business?
In most cases you can stay in the building during the project. Because we use camera inspections, hydro-jetting, and CIPP relining, we only need one or two access holes, often in a closet or utility room. Flooring, landscaping, and driveways remain largely untouched. Water service is typically shut off for 4–8 hours while new sections cure, and we schedule that downtime at the most convenient time for you.
What are the cost factors for a high-tech pipe upgrade?
Pricing depends on pipe length and diameter, the material you choose (PEX-A, epoxy-lined copper, or structural liner), accessibility of the existing line, and any code-driven modifications such as additional cleanouts. In Allardt the average single-family home repipe ranges from $4,500 to $9,000, while commercial properties can vary widely. We provide a camera-based diagnostic and a detailed written estimate so you can see exactly where each dollar goes.
Will the new piping meet Fentress County building codes?
Yes. Our licensed plumbers pull the required permits with the City of Allardt and follow the 2021 International Plumbing Code as adopted by Fentress County. We schedule inspections with the local building official and provide homeowners with all documentation, including pressure-test results and material certifications, so you have proof of compliance for insurance or resale purposes.
How long will the upgraded pipes last and what warranties do you offer?
PEX-A and epoxy-lined copper systems carry manufacturer warranties of 25–30 years and a laboratory-tested life expectancy of 50+ years. Our CIPP liner is rated for 50 years and is backed by a 10-year transferable workmanship warranty from our company. If a leak or material defect occurs within that period, we repair or replace the affected section at no cost to you.
Can pipe upgrades improve my water quality and pressure?
Absolutely. Replacing iron or galvanized lines removes internal rust and biofilm that can release metallic taste or discoloration. The smooth interior of PEX-A and epoxy-lined copper reduces friction loss, often boosting static water pressure by 10–15 psi. In addition, we size the new system using modern flow-rate calculations, eliminating bottlenecks and ensuring consistent pressure when multiple fixtures run at once.
