FAQs
Why should I consider upgrading the pipes in my Georgetown home?
Older galvanized steel or poly-B pipes are prone to corrosion, leaks, restricted flow, and even water-borne contaminants such as rust particles or lead. Upgrading eliminates these risks, improves water pressure, protects your investment from costly water damage, and often increases property value—especially important in Georgetown’s competitive real-estate market.
How can I tell if my existing plumbing needs an upgrade?
Common red flags include reddish or discolored water, frequent pin-hole leaks, low water pressure, banging or gurgling noises, and visible corrosion on exposed lines. Homes in Georgetown built before the mid-1990s often contain materials now considered outdated, so a professional inspection is recommended if you’re unsure.
What pipe materials do you recommend for replacements in Georgetown?
For most residential retrofits we suggest Type L copper or PEX-a (cross-linked polyethylene). Copper offers longevity (50+ years) and unmatched heat tolerance, while PEX-a is flexible, freeze-resistant, and typically 20–30% less expensive to install. In some commercial or high-rise situations, CPVC or stainless steel may be specified to meet code or chemical compatibility requirements.
Will I need a building permit for pipe upgrades?
Yes. The Town of Georgetown (under Halton Hills Building Services) requires a plumbing permit for any substantial repiping project. Our licensed team handles the permit application, schedules inspections, and ensures all work meets Ontario Building Code or local Texas code if you’re in Georgetown, TX. Final inspection provides official documentation that your new system is safe and compliant.
How long does a whole-home repipe usually take, and will I have to move out?
Most single-family houses can be repiped in 2–5 days, depending on size, accessibility, and drywall repairs needed. Water service is typically only off for a few hours at a time; you can stay in the home throughout the project. We isolate work areas, lay floor protection, and coordinate testing so you regain full water service as quickly as possible.
What factors affect the cost of a pipe upgrade in Georgetown?
Pricing is influenced by the home’s square footage, number of fixtures, choice of pipe material, accessibility (crawlspace vs. slab), and required drywall/finish repairs. A typical three-bedroom, two-bath repipe ranges from $6,000–$12,000. We provide a detailed, upfront quote—including permits, materials, labor, and patching—so there are no surprises.
