FAQs
When should I consider upgrading the pipes in my Estill Springs home?
You should look into a pipe upgrade if your house was built before the mid-1980s and still has galvanized steel, cast iron, or polybutylene lines; if you experience frequent leaks, rusty or discolored water, low water pressure, or a noticeable metallic taste; or if you’re planning a major remodel that will expose existing plumbing. Upgrading before pipes fail prevents water damage, mold growth, and costly emergency repairs.
What pipe materials do you install during an upgrade and why?
For most Estill Springs residences we install PEX-A or Type L copper. PEX-A is flexible, resists scale and corrosion, tolerates freeze expansion, and installs quickly with minimal wall damage, which reduces labor costs. Type L copper is ideal for customers who prefer a rigid, highly durable metal pipe with a 50-plus-year life span and excellent fire resistance. We’ll inspect your plumbing, discuss water quality and budget, then recommend the best material—or a blend of both—to match your needs.
How long does a whole-house pipe upgrade typically take?
A standard single-story, 2-bath home usually takes 2–3 days: Day 1 for shutting off water, isolating old lines, and pulling new PEX or copper mains; Day 2 for branch lines and fixture connections; and Day 3 for pressure testing, municipal inspection (if required), and drywall patching. Larger or two-story homes, extensive corrosion removal, or added fixtures can extend the timeline to 4–6 days. We give you a project calendar up front and keep at least one working bathroom functional whenever possible.
Will upgrading my plumbing improve water pressure and quality?
Yes. Mineral buildup, internal corrosion, and undersized galvanized piping often choke water flow, causing low pressure at faucets and showers. New, properly sized PEX or copper lines restore full diameter and smoother interior surfaces, which boosts pressure and balances flow between fixtures. In addition, eliminating rusting metal stops the release of iron, lead, and other contaminants, resulting in clearer, better-tasting water and longer appliance life.
Can you replace pipes without tearing up my walls or yard?
In many cases, yes. We specialize in minimally invasive repiping. Inside, we use existing chases, closets, and attic or crawl-space access to fish flexible PEX-A tubing, limiting sheetrock cuts to small, easily patched openings. For exterior water service lines we offer trenchless pipe bursting or pipe-pull methods that require only two small access pits, sparing landscaping and driveways. After the upgrade, we patch, texture-match, and clean the area so your home looks untouched.
What does a pipe upgrade cost in Estill Springs, and do you offer financing?
Costs vary with pipe material, home size, story count, and ease of access. The average 2-bath, 1,600 sq ft home runs $4,500–$6,500 for PEX and $6,500–$9,000 for copper. Larger homes or extensive corrosion remediation can be higher. We provide a free, no-obligation on-site estimate that includes materials, permits, patching, and inspection fees. For added flexibility, we partner with local lenders to offer 0%-interest short-term plans and low-APR extended financing so you can upgrade now and pay over time.
