FAQs
Why should Pelham homeowners consider a modern pipe upgrade instead of repairing old plumbing?
Older galvanized steel or polybutylene lines corrode, clog, and leak, leading to low water pressure, rusty-colored water, and hidden water damage. Upgrading to today’s copper or PEX piping gives you a 50-plus-year life expectancy, eliminates corrosion, improves flow, meets current Pelham and New York State plumbing codes, and usually lowers insurance premiums by reducing the risk of future leaks.
What signs indicate that my home in Pelham may need a pipe upgrade?
Common red flags include discolored or metallic-tasting water, frequent pinhole leaks, drops in water pressure when multiple fixtures run, visible corrosion on exposed pipes, water stains on walls or ceilings, and plumbing that is over 40 years old. A camera inspection or pressure test by our licensed plumbers can confirm the pipe’s condition.
Which pipe materials do you recommend for replacements, and why?
We generally install Type L copper or cross-linked polyethylene (PEX). Copper is time-tested, highly durable, and naturally antimicrobial. PEX is flexible, resists scale buildup, performs well in freezing temperatures, and is often more cost-effective and faster to install because it requires fewer fittings and can be snaked through walls with minimal demolition. We help you choose based on your budget, water quality, and house layout.
How long does a whole-house repipe project take, and will I have to move out?
A typical single-family home in Pelham can usually be fully repiped in 2–5 days. We stage the work so you have at least one working bathroom by evening, so most families stay in the home throughout the project. Larger homes or those with extensive plaster walls may take a bit longer. Our team protects floors and furnishings, obtains all Pelham permits, and arranges inspections to minimize disruption.
What factors affect the cost of a pipe upgrade?
Price depends on the home’s square footage, number of plumbing fixtures, choice of copper vs. PEX, accessibility of existing lines, need for drywall or tile repair, and any code-driven upgrades to the main water service or shut-off valves. After a free on-site assessment, we provide a detailed, fixed-price quote that includes permits, materials, labor, and wall patching.
Will upgrading my pipes improve water quality and home value?
Yes. New piping removes sources of rust, lead, or plastic leaching, delivering cleaner, better-tasting water. Improved flow and pressure make showers, appliances, and irrigation systems work more efficiently. From a resale standpoint, buyers and inspectors view a recent repipe as a major asset, often boosting home value and marketability in Pelham’s competitive real-estate scene.
