FAQs

Why should I consider upgrading my plumbing pipes?

Upgrading your plumbing pipes can prevent leaks, improve water flow, and enhance overall water quality. Older pipes made of outdated materials like galvanized steel or polybutylene are more prone to corrosion and breakage. Newer materials such as PEX or copper offer greater durability and longevity. Additionally, pipe upgrades can increase the value of your home.

What types of pipes are best for plumbing upgrades?

The best types of pipes for plumbing upgrades typically include PEX, copper, and PVC. PEX is flexible, easy to install, and resistant to freezing. Copper pipes are durable, long-lasting, and resistant to bacteria. PVC is cost-effective and ideal for drain lines. The choice of pipe depends on the specific needs of your plumbing system and local building codes.

How much does it cost to upgrade plumbing pipes in Kingsport?

The cost to upgrade plumbing pipes varies based on several factors, including the size of your home, the current condition of the plumbing system, and the type of pipes being installed. On average, homeowners can expect to spend between $2,000 to $8,000 for a full pipe replacement. It's best to get a detailed quote from a licensed plumber in Kingsport for an accurate estimate.

How long does the pipe upgrade process take?

The duration of a pipe upgrade project depends on the scope of work and the size of your home. For a standard single-family home, the process can take anywhere from one to two weeks. This includes the time for removing old pipes, installing new ones, and conducting necessary inspections. Your plumber can provide a more precise timeline based on your specific situation.

Do I need to be home during the pipe upgrade process?

It is not mandatory for you to be home during the entire pipe upgrade process, but it is helpful to be available for certain parts of the job, such as the initial inspection and to answer any questions the plumber might have. You will also need to be present for the final walkthrough to ensure everything is completed to your satisfaction.

Will upgrading my pipes increase my water pressure?

Yes, upgrading your plumbing pipes can improve your water pressure. Over time, older pipes may become clogged with mineral deposits or corrosion, leading to reduced water flow. New pipes can eliminate these issues, ensuring a consistent and stronger water pressure. If you have been experiencing low water pressure, a pipe upgrade could be an effective solution.

Adam Haynes was here 1/15/16 to replace a washing machine 'house' (where the water comes in to the house). He was very professional and NEAT. Always vacuuming. This is the second time I used HEP and would recommend them from my experiences.

Suzanne I.

Conner came out and gave us several options on how to fix our plumbing issues. He was very knowledgeable

Warren C.

Johnathan Green came to give me a quote for piping insulation installment, he is very informative and also let me know that I need a re-piping. Mr.Green gave me all the information and explained everything. Very professional, caring, knowledgeable, and excellent customer service! We have been using HEP since my husband and I bought our house and they have been wonderful to work with!

Katie D.

Quick and quality service. Great guys, dug up 2 tanks and pumped them both in a timely manner. I thought we needed a new pump, but these guys just pointed out all it was a pipe had disconnected so the pump wasn't pulling anything. Noticing the problem, they were quick to fix it. James and Pete, you guys rock!

Isaac and Terry went above and beyond what was asked to do, started off by meeting to try and clear the pipe and when that didn’t work they resorted to using the roto router, plumbing, jetting, then tried from a different angle until the pipe was cleared. Never using another company but HEP again

I contacted Hep for a water leak and they dispatched an exceptionally skilled and courteous service technician named Jason. He thoroughly explained our challenges and the outdated nature of our plumbing, emphasizing the unreliability of our sharkbite fittings. He provided us with a fair estimate, including a comprehensive warranty, and Hep even offers drywall repair services. We opted for a full-scale repiping of our plumbing system and could not be more pleased with the outcome. Thank you, Hep, for your commendable service and for retaining technicians of Jason's caliber.

HEP did a fantastic job helping our friends out when some pipes were leaking in the ceiling downstairs. Not only were they efficient and kind, they even cleaned up after they were done! Props to James, Wes, and John for their friendly attitudes and excellent service. I know my friends will use them again!
