FAQs
Why should I consider upgrading my pipes in Niota?
Older galvanized or poly-butylene pipes can corrode, rust, or become brittle, leading to leaks, low water pressure, and potential water damage. Upgrading to modern materials increases flow capacity, improves water quality, meets current building codes, and raises the resale value of your home. In Niota’s climate, newer pipes also withstand seasonal temperature swings better, reducing the risk of winter bursting.
What piping materials do you recommend for residential upgrades?
For most Niota homes we recommend Type L copper, PEX-A, or CPVC. Copper offers long life and resists bacterial growth, making it ideal for high-value properties. PEX-A is flexible, freeze-resistant, and generally more affordable to install because it requires fewer fittings. CPVC is a solid mid-range choice with good heat tolerance. We evaluate water chemistry, home layout, and budget to recommend the best option for each customer.
How can I tell if my plumbing system needs a pipe upgrade?
Warning signs include discolored water, frequent pinhole leaks, drop in water pressure, unusual noises in the lines, and visible corrosion on exposed pipes. Homes built before 1990 often contain materials now considered outdated. If you ’re planning a remodel or have had multiple leak repairs in the past five years, a full system assessment is advisable.
What is your pipe upgrade process and how long does it take?
1) We start with a camera inspection and pressure test to map the current system. 2) A detailed quote is provided, including material options and timeline. 3) On installation day we shut off water in zones to minimize downtime, then remove or bypass old piping. 4) New supply and branch lines are installed, pressure tested, and flushed. 5) Walls or ceilings opened for access are patched to paint-ready condition. A typical single-family home re-pipe takes 2–4 days; larger or two-story homes may take up to a week.
Will upgrading my pipes lower my utility bills?
Yes. New pipes eliminate internal buildup that restricts flow, allowing fixtures to reach target pressure more quickly. This reduces water waste from long warm-up periods. In many cases we also install modern shut-off valves and pressure-balancing devices that further reduce consumption. Customers typically see 5–15% savings on their water bills after an upgrade.
How disruptive is the work and how do you protect my property?
We use a minimally invasive approach, accessing pipes through closets, attics, and crawlspaces when possible. Floor coverings, plastic sheeting, and dust barriers protect furniture and living areas. Daily clean-ups keep your home functional, and we never leave you without water overnight. Post-installation, our team patches drywall, re-insulates, and performs a final walkthrough to ensure your property is returned to pre-project condition or better.
