FAQs
Why should I consider upgrading my home’s plumbing pipes with modern materials?
Older galvanized or polybutylene pipes are prone to corrosion, scaling, and leaks that can lower water pressure and lead to costly water damage. Modern piping—such as PEX, Type L copper, and CPVC—resists corrosion, maintains consistent flow, and meets current Pelham building codes. Upgrading now can improve water quality, raise property value, and cut the risk of emergency repairs.
What types of advanced pipe materials do you install in Pelham homes?
We tailor each repipe to the home’s needs and local conditions. Popular options include cross-linked polyethylene (PEX) for its flexibility and freeze resistance, Type L copper for long-term durability and fire resistance, and CPVC for budget-friendly hot-water lines. All products we use carry NSF certification for potable water and are approved under the Alabama Plumbing Code enforced in Pelham.
How disruptive is the pipe upgrade process? Will walls or floors be torn out?
We use minimally invasive techniques such as strategic wall access points, flexible PEX routing, and, when possible, attic or crawl-space runs. Most projects require only small drywall openings that are patched and finished afterward. Floors and cabinetry remain intact, and water service is typically restored at the end of each workday so you’re never without water overnight.
How long does a typical whole-house repipe project take?
For an average 2–3 bathroom home in Pelham, a complete repipe takes 2–4 days. The first day is devoted to shutting off isolated zones, draining the old system, and running new supply lines. The second day focuses on connecting fixtures and pressure testing. Larger homes or those with complex layouts can take up to a week, but we provide a detailed timeline before work begins.
Do new pipe installations come with warranties or maintenance benefits?
Yes. PEX and copper piping systems are backed by manufacturer warranties ranging from 25 years to lifetime coverage. Our workmanship is guaranteed for 10 years, and all materials and labor meet or exceed Alabama’s plumbing standards. Newly installed pipes require virtually no maintenance beyond standard fixture care, giving you peace of mind for decades.
How much does a pipe upgrade cost, and are financing options available in Pelham?
Costs vary based on home size, pipe material, and accessibility. In Pelham, a whole-house repipe typically ranges from $4,000 to $12,000. We offer free on-site assessments, transparent itemized quotes, and flexible financing plans with 0% interest for the first 12 months for qualified homeowners. Seniors, veterans, and first responders receive additional discounts.
