FAQs
Why should I consider upgrading my home’s pipes in Petros?
Older galvanized steel or polybutylene pipes are prone to corrosion, mineral buildup, and leaks that can reduce water pressure, discolor water, and cause hidden property damage. A pipe upgrade eliminates these risks, brings your plumbing up to current building codes, and increases the value and reliability of your home.
What pipe materials do you recommend for optimal performance?
For most Petros homes we recommend cross-linked polyethylene (PEX) or Type L copper. PEX is flexible, resists scale and chlorine, and can expand slightly if frozen, reducing burst risk. Type L copper is highly durable, has a 50-year+ life span, and withstands high heat. We evaluate water chemistry, budget, and installation environment to help you choose the best option.
How can I tell if my current plumbing pipes need to be replaced?
Warning signs include rusty or discolored water, frequent pinhole leaks, low or fluctuating water pressure, visible corrosion or flaking on exposed pipes, and water stains on walls or ceilings. If your home was built before 1980 and still has original pipes, a professional inspection is strongly advised even if no outward problems are evident.
What is the typical timeline and disruption for a whole-house pipe upgrade?
Most single-family homes in Petros can be repiped in 2–5 days. We work in zones, shutting off water only to the section being replaced, so you still have partial service each evening. Drywall access holes are kept small and we handle all patching and cleanup. We protect floors and furnishings and schedule work to minimize disturbance to your daily routine.
Will upgrading my pipes improve water pressure and quality?
Yes. New pipes have a smooth interior that eliminates corrosion and mineral buildup, restoring full flow and stable water pressure. Modern materials also reduce the chance of metal leaching, so you may notice clearer, better-tasting water. If desired, we can integrate point-of-entry filters or water-softening equipment during the upgrade for additional quality improvements.
Are financing or warranty options available for pipe upgrade projects in Petros?
We offer several low-interest financing plans with terms from 6 months to 10 years, allowing you to spread the cost over manageable payments. All repipe projects come with a transferable 25-year material warranty and a 5-year labor warranty. Extended service agreements are also available for added peace of mind.
