FAQs
What types of high-quality pipe materials do you use for upgrades in Thorn Hill?
We primarily install cross-linked polyethylene (PEX), Type L copper, and Schedule 80 CPVC. These materials are chosen for their durability, corrosion resistance, and long service life. During the on-site assessment we explain the pros and cons of each option and recommend the best fit based on your water quality, pressure, and budget.
How can I tell if my Thorn Hill home needs a pipe upgrade?
Common warning signs include low water pressure, rusty or discoloured water, frequent pinhole leaks, visible corrosion on exposed piping, and outdated galvanized or poly-B pipes. If your home is over 30 years old and has never had its plumbing updated, a professional inspection is highly recommended to prevent future leaks and water damage.
What benefits will I see after upgrading to premium piping materials?
Upgrading delivers better water quality, higher and more consistent water pressure, and reduced risk of leaks or bursts. High-quality pipes also improve energy efficiency when paired with modern fixtures, raise property value, and lower long-term maintenance costs. Many insurance companies even offer reduced premiums for homes with updated plumbing.
How long does a typical pipe replacement or upgrade project take?
For an average three-bedroom Thorn Hill home, a whole-house repipe usually takes 2–4 days. Smaller partial upgrades, such as replacing a problematic branch line, can often be completed in a single day. Exact timeframes depend on the size of the home, accessibility of the existing pipes, and whether walls or flooring need to be opened.
Will pipe upgrades disrupt my daily routine, and how do you minimise downtime?
We schedule work in zones so you are never without water in the entire house for more than a few hours. Protective drop sheets, dust barriers, and negative-pressure fans are used to keep living areas clean. At the end of each day we restore water service, tidy the workspace, and review progress with you so you can plan accordingly.
Do your Thorn Hill pipe upgrade services come with a warranty?
Yes. All labour is backed by a 25-year workmanship warranty, and the manufacturers of PEX, copper, and CPVC piping typically offer material warranties ranging from 25 years to lifetime. You will receive documentation upon project completion, and our team remains on call for any post-installation questions or concerns.
