FAQs
Why should I consider upgrading the pipes in my Hillsboro home?
Older galvanized or polybutylene pipes can corrode, leak, or leach contaminants into your water. Upgrading to modern materials like PEX or Type L copper improves water quality, increases flow rate, reduces the risk of sudden pipe failure, and can raise your property value. New piping also brings your plumbing up to current Oregon plumbing codes, which may be necessary if you plan to remodel or sell your home.
What pipe materials do you recommend for replacements and why?
For most Hillsboro residences we suggest PEX for its flexibility, freeze resistance, and cost-effectiveness, or Type L copper for its longevity and high heat tolerance. PEX is ideal for retrofits because it can be snaked through existing walls with minimal demolition, while copper is preferred for exposed runs or customers who want a metal piping system. We always review water chemistry, budget, and project goals before finalizing a material choice.
How disruptive is a whole-house repipe? Will I need to move out?
Our innovative repipe process is designed to minimize disruption. We isolate plumbing zones so you never lose water to the entire home, use small wall openings that are patched the same day, and employ dust-control barriers. Most single-family homes are completed in 2–4 days, after which drywall repairs and paint touch-ups are finished. In 90 % of cases, homeowners stay in the house throughout the project.
What is the average cost of a pipe upgrade in Hillsboro?
Costs vary with home size, fixture count, and pipe material. A 2-bath, 1,800 sq ft home typically ranges from $6,500 – $9,000 for a PEX repipe and $9,500 – $13,000 for copper. These figures include permits, labor, materials, wall patching, and a water heater reconnection. We provide a written, fixed-price quote after an on-site inspection so there are no surprises.
Do you offer any warranties or guarantees on your pipe upgrade work?
Yes. We provide a transferable 25-year manufacturer warranty on PEX tubing, a lifetime workmanship warranty on all labor, and a 1-year free annual inspection. If a leak occurs due to installation error, parts and labor are covered at no cost. Our warranties comply with Oregon CCB requirements and give you long-term peace of mind.
How do I know if my pipes truly need to be replaced or just repaired?
Warning signs include frequent pinhole leaks, rusty or discolored water, reduced flow at multiple fixtures, water temperature fluctuations, or visible corrosion on exposed pipe sections. We start every project with a camera inspection and pressure test to evaluate pipe integrity. If deterioration is localized, a sectional repair may suffice; however, if the entire system shows age-related failure, a full repipe is the more cost-effective and reliable solution in the long run.
