FAQs
What exactly is a plumbing system overhaul, and when should Sequatchie property owners consider one?
A plumbing system overhaul is the complete replacement or extensive rehabilitation of your supply, drain, and vent lines, along with key fixtures such as water heaters and shut-off valves. Homeowners in Sequatchie typically need an overhaul when they experience chronic leaks, low water pressure, rusty or discolored water, outdated galvanized or polybutylene piping, or when remodeling a home that is 30 years old or more. Because many homes in the county were built before modern PVC and PEX standards, upgrading the entire system can eliminate recurring repair bills and bring your property up to current plumbing and building codes.
How long does a full plumbing overhaul usually take in Sequatchie County?
For an average 2-bathroom single-family home, the process generally runs 3–7 business days. The timeline includes 1 day for preparation and shut-off, 2–4 days for pipe removal and new line installation, and 1–2 days for pressure testing, insulation, drywall repair, and fixture re-connection. Larger homes or those with complex layouts (crawl spaces, multistory runs, or well pump tie-ins) may extend to two weeks. We provide a detailed project calendar before we start so you’ll know exactly what to expect.
Will I have to move out while you overhaul my plumbing system?
In most cases, no. We phase the work so at least one bathroom remains operational at the end of each workday. Water service is typically shut off only during business hours, and we restore it every evening. For extensive slab-on-grade homes where jack-hammering is required, or if asbestos abatement is discovered, temporary relocation may be recommended, but that is the exception rather than the rule. We discuss all access and comfort concerns with you during the initial walkthrough.
Do I need permits or inspections for a plumbing overhaul in Sequatchie, and do you handle that process?
Yes. Sequatchie County follows the 2018 International Plumbing Code, and any whole-house repipe or water heater replacement over 10 gallons requires a county permit and inspection. Our team pulls all necessary permits, schedules rough-in and final inspections with the county building department, and provides you with approved inspection stickers for your records. This protects your home’s resale value and ensures the new system meets safety and efficiency standards.
How much should I budget for a complete plumbing overhaul, and what factors affect the price?
Costs in Sequatchie typically range from $8,000 to $18,000 for a 2-bathroom residential overhaul. Key factors include the size of the home, number of fixtures, choice of piping material (PEX is generally less expensive than copper), whether drywall and tile repairs are needed, and difficulty of access (crawl space vs. slab). We provide a free on-site estimate with a line-by-line cost breakdown so there are no surprises.
What warranties and post-overhaul support do you provide?
Our standard package includes a 10-year workmanship warranty on all newly installed pipes and fittings, plus the manufacturer’s warranty on fixtures (usually 5–25 years depending on brand). We offer one complimentary annual inspection for the first three years, discounted service rates thereafter, and 24-hour emergency response exclusively for our overhaul clients. All warranty details are delivered in writing upon project completion.
