FAQs

Why should I upgrade my plumbing pipes?

Upgrading your plumbing pipes can improve water quality, increase water pressure, reduce the likelihood of leaks, and prevent long-term damage to your home. Older pipes can corrode, become clogged, or leak, leading to costly repairs and potential health hazards due to contaminants.

What types of piping materials are best for upgrades?

Common choices for upgraded pipes include PEX, PVC, and copper. PEX is flexible, resistant to freezing, and relatively easy to install. PVC is affordable and suitable for drain lines. Copper is durable, has a long lifespan, and can handle high water pressure. Your plumber can recommend the best material based on your specific needs and budget.

How long does a pipe upgrade project usually take?

The duration of a pipe upgrade project can vary depending on the size of your home, the complexity of the plumbing system, and the type of materials used. On average, a plumbing upgrade can take anywhere from a few days to a week. Your plumber will provide a more accurate estimate after assessing your specific situation.

What are the signs that indicate I need to upgrade my pipes?

Signs that you may need to upgrade your pipes include frequent leaks, discolored or bad-tasting water, low water pressure, persistent clogs, and visible corrosion on exposed pipes. Additionally, if your home is more than 50 years old and has never had its pipes replaced, it may be time for an upgrade.

Will upgrading my plumbing pipes increase the value of my home?

Yes, upgrading your plumbing pipes can increase the value of your home. Modern, efficient plumbing systems are attractive to potential buyers and can be a significant selling point. Well-maintained plumbing also reduces the likelihood of future issues, making your home more appealing and reliable.

What should I expect during the pipe upgrade process?

During a pipe upgrade, your plumber will first assess your current plumbing system and discuss your options. The process typically involves shutting off the water supply, removing old pipes, and installing new ones. You may experience temporary water shut-offs and some disruption to your daily routine. Your plumber will work to minimize inconvenience and ensure the upgrade is completed efficiently and effectively.

We had a phone call from our utility company saying our water meter was showing extremely high volume from midnight until their call. My husband tried to find the problem but was not able to do so. We tried a couple other plumbing companies and they were not getting to us. In desperation, I called HEP. Jeremy was at our home in less than 2 hours. It took some time to locate the fine, mist spray that was causing the issue but once it was located, he tabulated the cost involved and presented it to my husband who told him to proceed; we had had the city turn our water off at the meter so it would not continue to accumulate. Jeremy took care of the issue and made the repairs. He was a clean cut, personable young man. We will ask for him by name when we need plumbing repairs.

Jan M.

Brett Nicely was our plumber, and was very professional, he put in a new pressure relief valve and patched up a major incoming leak. He also repaired the plumbing underneath our kitchen sink. Job well done, we will ask for Brett in the future !
