FAQs
Why should I consider upgrading the pipes in my Greenback facility?
Older piping can corrode, leak, restrict flow, and contaminate water. Upgrading to modern materials (such as PEX, copper, or HDPE) improves water quality, boosts system reliability, meets current building codes, and can reduce long-term maintenance costs. In industrial settings, upgraded pipes also handle higher pressures and temperatures, reducing unplanned downtime.
Which pipe materials do you recommend for industrial upgrades?
The best material depends on the application: PEX or CPVC for potable water lines, Type L copper for durability and high heat, and Schedule 40/80 PVC or HDPE for chemical or wastewater lines. We assess factors such as fluid type, temperature, pressure, and local code requirements in Greenback before recommending the ideal solution.
How long does a typical pipe upgrade project take?
Small line replacements can be completed in a day, while full-scale facility upgrades may range from several days to a few weeks. We begin with an on-site survey, create a phased plan to minimize production disruption, and provide a detailed timeline before any work starts.
What signs indicate my current piping system needs to be replaced?
Common red flags include frequent leaks, discolored water, low pressure, visible corrosion, persistent clogs, and pinhole leaks in copper lines. If your facility’s pipes are more than 30 years old, a proactive inspection is recommended even if issues haven’t appeared yet.
How much will a pipe upgrade cost in Greenback?
Costs depend on pipe length, diameter, material choice, accessibility, and whether production downtime is required. After a free on-site assessment, we provide a fixed quote detailing material, labor, permit, and disposal fees so you can budget with confidence.
Can pipe upgrades be performed without shutting down operations?
Yes. We offer phased installation, temporary bypass piping, and after-hours work to keep your facility running. In many cases, only limited sections are isolated at a time, preventing a full shutdown and preserving productivity.
