FAQs
What are the main reasons homeowners in Evensville choose to upgrade their plumbing pipes?
Older galvanized or polybutylene pipes installed in many Evensville homes are prone to corrosion, scaling, and leaks. Upgrading to modern PEX or Type L copper improves water quality, prevents costly water damage, and often raises property value. Many residents also want better water pressure and to comply with current plumbing codes before a remodel or home sale.
How do I know if my Evensville home needs a complete repipe or a partial pipe upgrade?
Common signs include visible rust-colored water, fluctuating water pressure, frequent pinhole leaks, and pipes older than 40 years. During a free in-home assessment, our licensed plumber uses moisture meters, video pipe inspection, and pressure tests to determine pipe condition. If only isolated sections are failing—often around bathrooms or kitchens—a partial upgrade may be sufficient. Otherwise, a whole-house repipe is recommended to avoid repeated repairs.
Which pipe materials do you recommend for upgrades, and what are their benefits?
For most Evensville residences, we recommend PEX-A piping for its flexibility, freeze resistance, and fast installation, or Type L copper for superior longevity and resale value. PEX is less expensive and requires fewer wall penetrations, while copper withstands high heat and UV exposure. We follow Tennessee Plumbing Code to ensure proper fittings, supports, and insulation regardless of the material you choose.
How long does a typical pipe upgrade take in Evensville, and will I have to leave my home?
A whole-house PEX repipe for a 2-bath, 1,800 sq ft home generally takes 2–3 days, while a copper repipe may take 3–5 days due to additional soldering and drywall work. Water is usually shut off only during specific phases—1–2 hours at a time—so you can remain in your home. We protect flooring and furnishings, and we schedule final drywall and paint restoration immediately after pressure testing.
What is the average cost of a pipe upgrade in the Evensville area?
Costs vary based on house size, pipe material, and accessibility. As of 2024, most whole-house PEX repipes in Evensville range from $4,500 to $8,000, while copper repipes run $8,000 to $13,000. Partial upgrades—such as replacing supply lines to a single bathroom—can be as low as $1,200. We provide a detailed, no-obligation quote that includes materials, permits, drywall repair, and a 25-year workmanship warranty.
Do I need a permit for a plumbing pipe upgrade in Evensville, and do you handle the paperwork?
Yes. Rhea County requires a plumbing permit for any pipe replacement beyond minor repairs. Crafted Solutions Plumbing pulls the permit, schedules inspections, and provides code-compliant pressure testing reports. Upon project completion, you receive documentation for your records, which can be valuable for homeowners insurance and future real-estate transactions.
