FAQs
Why should I consider upgrading my home’s pipes?
Older galvanized steel, polybutylene, or lead pipes are prone to corrosion, leaks, reduced water pressure, and potential health risks from metal leaching. Upgrading to modern materials eliminates these issues, prevents costly water damage, improves flow rates, and brings your plumbing system up to current building codes—giving you long-term peace of mind.
What pipe materials do you recommend for Rutledge homes?
We typically install Type L copper or PEX-A tubing. Copper offers exceptional durability and resists ultraviolet light, making it ideal for exposed runs and high-temperature applications. PEX-A is flexible, freeze-resistant, and quicker to install, which keeps costs down while still providing a 50-plus-year service life. We help you choose based on your home’s layout, local water chemistry, and budget.
How can I tell if my existing plumbing needs an upgrade?
Warning signs include discolored water, frequent pin-hole leaks, low water pressure, rusty spots on pipes, or visible corrosion around joints. If your home was built before 1980 and still has original piping, a proactive inspection is wise even if leaks haven’t occurred yet. We offer complimentary camera and pressure tests so you know exactly what condition your plumbing is in.
What is the typical timeline and process for a whole-house pipe replacement?
Most single-family homes in Rutledge can be repiped in 2–5 days. Day 1: we shut off water, protect flooring, and open small access holes in walls and ceilings. Day 2–3: old pipes are removed, new PEX or copper lines are installed, and all fixtures are reconnected. Day 4: pressure testing, municipal inspection, and drywall repair. You’ll only be without water during work hours, and we restore service every evening.
Will pipe upgrades increase my property value or lower insurance premiums?
Yes. Real-estate appraisers often add value for homes with modern plumbing because buyers know renovation costs are already covered. Many insurers also offer discounts of 5–10 % when galvanized or polybutylene piping is replaced, as the risk of catastrophic water damage drops significantly.
How much do pipe upgrades cost and do you offer financing or warranties?
A full repipe for an average 2-bathroom home in Rutledge ranges from $4,500 to $9,000, depending on material choice, fixture count, and accessibility. We provide firm, upfront quotes, 0 % interest financing for up to 24 months, and a transferable 25-year workmanship warranty alongside the manufacturer’s material warranty.
