FAQs
What types of major plumbing installations do you handle in Madisonville?
Our team is equipped to manage every large-scale plumbing need, including whole-home repiping, new construction rough-ins, water-heater (tank and tankless) installations, sewer and water-service line replacements, bathroom or kitchen remodel piping, and the addition of specialty fixtures such as filtration or irrigation tie-ins. If your project involves replacing, relocating, or adding major water or drain lines, we have the licensing, tools, and experience to complete it to Madisonville’s code.
Do I need a permit for a major plumbing installation in Madisonville, and will you obtain it for me?
Yes. The City of Madisonville and surrounding county jurisdictions require permits and inspections for most work that alters existing supply or drainage systems. As a licensed plumbing contractor, we handle the entire permitting process on your behalf—submitting plans, paying fees, scheduling inspections, and providing any documentation the city requests—so you remain fully compliant without the paperwork headache.
How long does a typical whole-home repipe or other large project take?
Project length depends on the home’s size, the number of fixtures, and whether walls or flooring must be opened. As a guideline: • Whole-home repipe (1,500–2,000 sq ft): 2–4 days of active work, plus 1–2 days for inspection and patching. • Tankless water-heater conversion: 1 day for standard swap, 2 if a larger gas line or venting is required. • Sewer line replacement: 1–3 days, varying with trenching needs and access. We provide a detailed schedule before starting so you know exactly when water will be shut off and when final inspection is expected.
What pipe materials do you recommend, and how do I choose between copper, PEX, and PVC/CPVC?
• Copper: Time-tested, highly durable, excellent for hot and cold water, but more expensive and may require wall opening for installation. • PEX: Flexible, fast to install, resistant to freezing, and budget-friendly. Ideal for whole-home repipes where minimal demolition is desired. • PVC/CPVC: Common for drain, waste, and vent lines (PVC) or hot-water supply (CPVC). Economical and corrosion-resistant but not as flexible as PEX. We review water quality, operating temperature, budget, and access constraints with you, then recommend the best material or combination to meet Madisonville code and your long-term expectations.
How do you protect my property during a large plumbing project?
We start with a pre-project walkthrough to note flooring, furniture, and landscaping that need protection. Drop cloths, plastic sheeting, and shoe covers are used indoors; plywood boards or trench boxes protect lawns and driveways during outdoor excavation. Daily cleanup is part of our routine, and we coordinate water shut-offs so you always know when service will be interrupted. After the final inspection, any drywall we opened is patched to a paint-ready finish unless you’ve arranged other remodeling work.
What warranty and post-installation support do you provide?
All major installations come with a written 1-year labor warranty covering workmanship. Most products—water heaters, mixing valves, pipe, fittings—carry manufacturer warranties ranging from 2 years to lifetime; we register those for you to ensure coverage. You’ll receive a completion packet with permit sign-offs, material warranties, and care instructions. Should any issue arise, our Madisonville service team is available 24/7 for priority warranty calls and discounted maintenance plans.
