FAQs
Why should I consider upgrading my home’s plumbing pipes in Petros?
Older galvanized steel or polybutylene pipes are prone to corrosion, leaks, and water-quality issues. Upgrading to modern PEX or copper piping improves flow rate, eliminates rust-colored water, reduces the likelihood of sudden ruptures, and can raise property value. In seismic regions like Petros, newer materials also flex better, offering additional protection during earth movement.
What piping materials do you use in your upgrades and what are their advantages?
We primarily install cross-linked polyethylene (PEX) and type L copper. PEX is cost-effective, resists scale buildup, withstands freezing, and is quieter in operation. Copper is time-tested, naturally antimicrobial, and UV-resistant for exposed runs. In commercial or high-rise settings we may specify chlorinated PVC (CPVC) for hot-water mains or high-density polyethylene (HDPE) for long underground services. Our team evaluates pressure, temperature, and local code before recommending the best option.
How long does a whole-house pipe upgrade typically take?
For an average 2-bathroom single-family home in Petros, a repipe project usually takes three to five working days. Day 1 involves site protection and pipe mapping. Days 2–3 cover demolition of small access points and installation of new supply lines. Day 4 is pressure testing and code inspection. Day 5 crews patch walls and clean up. Larger homes or complex commercial buildings can extend the timeline, but we provide a detailed schedule before work starts.
Will my household be without water during the upgrade?
Only for short, pre-arranged windows. We stage the project so most of the new lines are installed with the original system still live. Water is typically shut off for 4–6 hours on the final connection day. We can also set up temporary bypass lines to keep one bathroom operational if needed, minimizing disruption for families or businesses.
What factors influence the cost of a pipe upgrade in Petros?
Key cost drivers include: 1) Size of the property and number of fixtures; 2) Choice of material (PEX is generally 20–40 % less than copper); 3) Accessibility—slab foundations, tight crawl spaces, or finished basements require more labor; 4) Permit and inspection fees set by the City of Petros; 5) Any concurrent upgrades such as water heater relocation or fixture replacements. We provide a fixed, itemized quote after an on-site assessment so there are no surprises.
How do I know it’s time to upgrade and what maintenance is required afterward?
Warning signs include low water pressure, discolored or metallic-tasting water, frequent pinhole leaks, and visible corrosion on exposed lines. Homes built before 1990 often have aging materials reaching the end of their service life. After installation, maintenance is minimal—just follow normal best practices like keeping water pressure below 80 psi and flushing your water heater annually. We include a 25-year material warranty and 10-year workmanship warranty for added peace of mind.
