FAQs

Why should I consider upgrading my pipes?

Upgrading pipes can improve water flow and pressure, reduce the risk of leaks or burst pipes, and help ensure your plumbing system meets current codes and standards. Newer materials like PEX or copper are more durable and less susceptible to corrosion compared to older galvanized or lead pipes, providing a safer and more efficient system.

How can I tell if my pipes need to be replaced?

Common signs that your pipes may need to be replaced include frequent leaks, discolored water, unusual noises (such as banging or gurgling), low water pressure, and visible corrosion or rust on exposed pipes. If your home is older and has never had its plumbing updated, it may also be a good idea to get an inspection.

What types of pipes are best for upgrades?

The best type of pipe for your upgrade depends on your specific needs and budget. PEX piping is flexible, resistant to scale and chlorine, and generally easier to install, making it a popular modern choice. Copper piping is durable, has a long life span, and is resistant to bacteria, but it can be more expensive. Consulting with a professional plumber can help determine the best material for your home.

How long does a pipe upgrade project typically 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 extent of the upgrade required. Generally, smaller projects can be completed in a few days, while more extensive upgrades might take a week or more. Your plumber will provide a more precise timeline based on an assessment of your specific needs.

Will upgrading my pipes increase my property value?

Yes, upgrading your pipes can increase your property value. Modern, efficient plumbing systems are an attractive feature for potential buyers, as they reduce the likelihood of future plumbing issues and improve water quality and pressure. It's an investment that can pay off by making your home more appealing on the market.

Are there any special considerations for pipe upgrades in older homes?

Yes, older homes might have unique challenges such as outdated plumbing layouts, confined spaces, or the presence of hazardous materials like asbestos. It's important to have a thorough inspection and work with a professional plumber experienced in handling older homes to ensure the upgrade is done safely and effectively. Permits and adherence to local building codes will also be essential.

What our customers say

Chuck came out and fixed my sink and drain line. He was friendly and professional and did a great job.

P B.

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.

Rebecca E.

After we were notified by First Utilities of our increased water usage, and told we probably had a leak, we called HEP. Jerel was able to find and repair the leak. He and Tim were very professional and explained what they found and what they fixed. I would definitely recommend them again.

Elmer D.

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 👍

Jean F.

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.
