FAQs
Why should I consider upgrading the pipes in my New Market home or business?
Many properties in New Market still contain galvanized steel or early-generation copper lines installed 30–60 years ago. These legacy pipes corrode internally, restricting flow, causing discoloured water, pin-hole leaks and potential lead contamination from old solder. Modern PEX-A or L type copper lines restore full water pressure, improve water quality, reduce leak risk and add value to the property. Upgrading now also prevents emergency outages and expensive water damage later.
How do I know my plumbing system is due for a pipe upgrade?
Common warning signs include rusty or yellow water, fluctuating water pressure, frequent pin-hole leaks, visible corrosion on exposed lines, damp drywall/ceilings, and pipes that are over 40 years old. If your supply lines clang loudly when fixtures close (water hammer) or the home still has galvanized or polybutylene piping, schedule an inspection. Our technicians use borescope cameras and static pressure tests to confirm the internal condition of your pipes.
What pipe materials do your New Market plumbers typically install?
We recommend two code-approved options: (1) PEX-A cross-linked polyethylene with expansion fittings—flexible, freeze-resistant and ideal for retrofits; (2) Type L hard-drawn copper—durable, fire-resistant and preferred for exposed mechanical rooms. Both carry 25-year manufacturer warranties and meet the latest Maryland plumbing code (or Ontario if in Canada). We discuss water chemistry, budget and usage needs before selecting the best material for your project.
How long will a whole-house pipe replacement take and will I be without water?
A typical 2-bathroom single-family home in New Market takes 2–3 working days. Day 1 our crew runs new distribution lines in parallel to the old ones, minimizing drywall removal. Day 2 we switch fixtures to the new system and pressure-test. You’ll have short water shut-offs (15–30 minutes each) while we tie in the mains, but we always restore at day’s end so you have evening service. Larger or more complex projects may require an extra day; we provide a detailed schedule before work starts.
Do I need permits or inspections for a pipe upgrade in New Market?
Yes. Frederick County (or York Region if in Ontario) requires a plumbing alteration permit whenever supply or drain lines are relocated or replaced. Our licensed Master Plumber handles all paperwork, pays the permitting fee, schedules county inspections and ensures the work meets the 2021 International Plumbing Code amendments adopted locally. Upon final approval you receive a signed inspection card for your records, which is helpful for resale or insurance purposes.
What will a pipe upgrade cost and do you offer financing?
Costs vary with home size, pipe material and accessibility of existing lines. In New Market, a full re-pipe on an average 2,000 sq ft home generally ranges from $6,500–$11,000 for PEX and $8,500–$14,000 for copper. We give a fixed, written quote after an on-site evaluation—no surprise add-ons. Flexible financing is available through our partner credit union: 0% interest for 12 months or low-APR terms up to 60 months, subject to credit approval. All workmanship is guaranteed for 10 years.
