FAQs
What are the main reasons homeowners in New Market choose to upgrade their plumbing pipes?
Most residents decide to upgrade because of frequent leaks, discoloured or foul-tasting water, low water pressure, or the presence of outdated materials such as galvanized steel or polybutylene. Upgrading eliminates chronic repair costs, improves water quality, and increases property value while ensuring the system meets current plumbing codes.
Which pipe materials do you recommend for replacements, and why?
For most New Market homes we typically recommend PEX or Type L copper. PEX is flexible, resists scale buildup, and is less expensive to install because it requires fewer fittings. Copper is durable, has a 50-plus-year life span, and withstands high temperatures well. During our on-site assessment we explain the pros, cons, and cost of each option so you can choose the best fit for your budget and needs.
How long does a whole-house pipe upgrade usually take?
A typical three-bedroom, two-bath home can be repiped in 2–4 days. Larger homes or projects that involve extensive drywall or tile restoration may take up to a week. We create a detailed schedule before work begins, isolate portions of the system so you still have partial water service each evening, and perform a final walk-through to ensure everything is restored and tested.
Will my water be shut off during the upgrade?
Yes, but only in short intervals. We plan the job so the main shutoff is closed when we tie in new lines, then reopened as quickly as possible. Most homeowners experience total water downtime of just a few hours per day, and we always notify you in advance so you can prepare.
Do I need a permit for pipe replacement in New Market?
Yes. Madison County requires a plumbing permit for any whole-house repipe or major pipe rerouting. As a licensed plumbing contractor, we handle the permit application, schedule required inspections, and ensure all work passes the final inspection so you receive a code-compliant installation and proper documentation for future home resale.
What does a pipe upgrade cost, and do you offer financing?
Costs vary with home size, pipe material, and accessibility, but most New Market repipe projects range from $3,500 to $9,000. After our free inspection we provide a fixed-price quote that includes materials, labour, permits, and wall repairs. We also partner with local lenders to offer low-interest financing plans with payments as low as $49 per month, subject to credit approval.
