FAQs

Why should I consider upgrading my plumbing pipes?

Upgrading your plumbing pipes can prevent leaks, improve water pressure, and ensure your plumbing system meets current safety standards. Older pipes made of materials like galvanized steel or polybutylene can degrade or corrode over time, leading to significant water damage and costly repairs. Newer materials like copper, PEX, or CPVC are more durable and provide better long-term reliability.

How do I know if my pipes need an upgrade?

Signs that you may need a pipe upgrade include frequent leaks, discolored or rusty water, low water pressure, and visible corrosion or rust on your pipes. If your home is over 50 years old and still has original plumbing, it's a good idea to have a professional inspection to assess the condition of your pipes.

What materials are best for new plumbing pipes?

The best materials for new plumbing pipes depend on your specific needs and budget. Copper pipes are highly durable and have been used for decades. PEX (cross-linked polyethylene) is flexible, resistant to scale and chlorine, and easier to install. CPVC (chlorinated polyvinyl chloride) is also a popular choice for its ease of installation and resistance to degradation. Each material has its pros and cons, which should be discussed with a professional plumber.

How long does it take to upgrade plumbing pipes in a home?

The time required to upgrade plumbing pipes varies depending on the size of your home, the complexity of the plumbing system, and the materials being used. On average, pipe replacement in a typical single-family home can take anywhere from a few days to a week. More complex systems or larger homes may take longer.

Will upgrading my pipes increase the value of my home?

Yes, upgrading your pipes can increase the value of your home. Modern plumbing systems are a key selling point for potential buyers, as they reduce the risk of future water damage and maintenance issues. Upgraded plumbing can also improve water efficiency, contributing to lower utility bills and a more environmentally friendly household.

What should I expect during a pipe upgrade project?

During a pipe upgrade project, a professional plumber will first assess your current plumbing system and determine the best materials and methods for the upgrade. The process will involve shutting off the water supply, removing old pipes, and installing new ones. There may be some disruption to your daily routine, but a reputable plumber will work to minimize inconvenience. After the installation, they will test the system to ensure everything is functioning correctly and clean up any debris.

What our customers say

I had looked up copper lines and found Epoxy blowing to stop pin hole leaks but Tn. Doesn’t do it Illinois does. Cause I did not want to spend thousands for pipe repair under house. But Kyler gave me the no interest plan for around two years of paying is the only way I could do it - Justin and Kyler are very nice And seem to know exactly what they are doing -God Bless Them . Today Oct 16-2020 Zach and Austin removed old copper plumbing under our house. Installed new efficient updated materials. They were very kind and efficient, I would recommend these two 100 percent to everyone 🙏👍 They checked and made sure water working everywhere before leaving 👍

Our HEP technician Tim came out on a Saturday Halloween night to repair our outdoor water faucet which broke and would not stop running. In the end he ended up installing both a new faucet and a new shut off valve, which we had never had for this particular faucet. We were very happy with the jobs he performed. He arrived when he said he would (coming straight from another job), answered our questions, explained what he would need to do and provided an accurate estimate. Tim was very knowledgeable, polite and efficient. We would use HEP again and ask for Tim.

I had a unexpected water leak that flooded my bathroom and bedroom. I called Hepp after shutting water off to come to my home. Chuck showed up in less than two hours. He was courteous, helpful, and respectful. He only suggested and repaired what was needed and didn't try to do any more. He had it repaired quickly and I have water again.
