FAQs
Why should I consider upgrading my home’s plumbing pipes in Benton?
Older galvanized or polybutylene piping can corrode, leak, and restrict water pressure. Upgrading eliminates hidden leaks that drive up water bills, improves flow for modern fixtures, and brings your system up to current Benton building codes. New piping materials such as PEX or Type L copper are far more resistant to mineral buildup common in Benton’s water supply, so you gain better water quality, fewer emergency repairs, and added peace of mind.
What pipe materials do you recommend for upgrades and how do they compare?
We typically install cross-linked polyethylene (PEX) or Type L copper. PEX is flexible, quicker to install, freeze-resistant, and usually 20–30 % less expensive than copper. Type L copper is extremely durable, has a 50+ year life span, and can handle very high temperatures. Both meet Arkansas code; the choice comes down to budget, existing pipe layout, and personal preference. During our on-site consultation we explain the pros and cons and let you decide what fits your home and budget best.
How long does a whole-house repipe take, and will I be without water?
A typical 2-bathroom, single-story home in Benton can be fully repiped in 2–3 days; larger or multi-story homes may take up to a week. We stage the project so your water is only shut off during actual pipe tie-ins—usually a few hours at a time. We’ll coordinate with you in advance so you always know when water will be unavailable and can plan accordingly.
Will I need a permit for a pipe upgrade project in Benton, and do you handle it?
Yes. The City of Benton and Saline County require permits and inspections for any significant plumbing alteration. Precision Installations pulls all necessary permits, schedules municipal inspections, and provides you with documentation once the project passes. This ensures full compliance with local building and safety codes and protects you during future home inspections or resale.
How much does a pipe upgrade cost and what factors influence the price?
In Benton, most partial pipe replacements start around $2,000, while complete repipes range from $4,500 to $9,000+, depending on: • Size and layout of your home • Number of fixtures and bathrooms • Pipe material chosen • Accessibility (crawl space vs. slab) • Whether drywall repair/painting is included. We provide a detailed, written estimate after a free on-site evaluation so you know exactly what to expect—no surprise add-ons.
Do pipe upgrades add value to my property and are warranties provided?
Absolutely. A modern plumbing system is a strong selling point and can raise appraisal value because buyers know they won’t face surprise leaks. We register manufacturer warranties (25 years for PEX, 50 years for copper) and back our workmanship with a 10-year labor warranty. If an issue related to our installation arises within that period, we fix it at no cost.
