FAQs
Why should I consider upgrading the water supply pipes in my Robbins home?
Older galvanized steel or polybutylene (PB) pipes can corrode, rust, or become brittle, leading to leaks, water discoloration, and reduced pressure. Upgrading to modern materials like PEX or copper improves water quality, restores full pressure, and lowers the risk of future plumbing emergencies, ultimately protecting your property value and saving money on repairs.
What pipe materials do you recommend for reliable water supply upgrades?
We typically recommend PEX (cross-linked polyethylene) or Type L copper for Robbins homes. PEX is flexible, cost-effective, resistant to corrosion, and quick to install with fewer fittings. Copper is extremely durable, heat-tolerant, and has a proven 50-year+ track record. The best choice depends on your budget, water chemistry, and project scope—our technicians help you compare options during the consultation.
How long does a whole-house pipe replacement usually take in Robbins?
A typical single-family home re-pipe takes 2–5 days. Factors such as house size, number of bathrooms, pipe routing obstacles, and whether walls need restoration can affect the timeline. We plan work in stages to minimize water shutoff times, usually restoring water at the end of each workday so you can stay in your home during the project.
Will upgrading my plumbing increase water pressure?
Yes. Corroded or undersized pipes restrict flow and reduce pressure. Replacing them with properly sized PEX or copper lines removes buildup and improves internal diameter, restoring optimal pressure to showers, faucets, and appliances. After an upgrade, homeowners in Robbins typically notice stronger, more consistent water flow.
Do I need a permit for a pipe upgrade, and do you handle the paperwork?
Yes, the Village of Robbins requires plumbing permits for pipe replacements. We take care of the entire permitting process—application, drawings, fees, and scheduling inspections—so you stay fully compliant with local building codes and avoid delays or fines.
What warranties do you offer on new water supply piping?
We provide a 25-year manufacturer’s warranty on PEX tubing and 50-year on copper, plus our own 10-year labor warranty covering workmanship and installation. If any leaks or defects occur within the warranty period, we repair or replace the affected section at no cost to you.
