FAQs
What are the benefits of upgrading my plumbing pipes?
Upgrading your plumbing pipes can lead to enhanced water flow and pressure, reduced chances of leaks and bursts, and improved water quality. Modern pipe materials are more resilient and can reduce maintenance costs over time. This also increases the overall value of your home.
How can I tell if my pipes need upgrading?
Common signs that your pipes may need upgrading include persistent leaks, discolored water, reduced water pressure, unusual noises, and visible corrosion or rust on exposed pipes. If your home is over 50 years old, it might be time to consider an inspection for potential upgrades.
What materials do you use for pipe upgrades?
We use a variety of high-quality materials based on the specific needs of your home. These include copper, PEX (cross-linked polyethylene), and CPVC (chlorinated polyvinyl chloride). Each material has its benefits, such as durability, flexibility, and cost-effectiveness.
How long does a typical pipe upgrade take?
The duration of a pipe upgrade can vary depending on the size of your home and the complexity of the plumbing system. Typically, residential pipe upgrades can take anywhere from a couple of days to a week. We ensure minimal disruption and work efficiently to restore your plumbing as quickly as possible.
Will upgrading my pipes increase my water bill?
Upgrading your pipes should not increase your water bill. In fact, it might reduce costs if you had leaks or inefficiencies in your old plumbing system. The upgraded pipes improve water efficiency and decrease the likelihood of leaks, which can prevent unexpected water expenses.
What should I expect during the pipe upgrade process?
During the pipe upgrade process, you can expect an initial inspection and consultation to determine the best approach. Our team will carefully remove the old pipes and install new ones, ensuring minimal damage to your walls and flooring. After installation, we'll conduct thorough testing to ensure everything is functioning correctly. We always clean up and leave your home in excellent condition.
