FAQs
Why should I consider upgrading the pipes in my Rutledge home?
Older galvanized steel or polybutylene pipes can corrode, leak, and restrict water flow. Upgrading to modern copper or PEX piping improves water pressure, reduces the risk of leaks and water damage, and increases property value while meeting current Rutledge and Georgia plumbing codes.
How can I tell if my existing pipes are restricting water flow?
Signs include weak water pressure at multiple fixtures, fluctuating temperature when another tap is opened, visible corrosion or discoloration on exposed piping, and frequent leaks. A plumbing inspection with a pressure gauge and camera scope can confirm internal buildup or deterioration.
What pipe materials are recommended for replacements in Rutledge?
PEX (cross-linked polyethylene) and Type L copper are the most common choices. PEX is flexible, more affordable, and resistant to freezing, while copper has a long lifespan, is fire-resistant, and adds resale value. We discuss your budget, water quality, and installation environment to select the best option.
Will pipe replacement damage my walls or landscaping?
Our team uses minimally invasive techniques such as strategic wall access panels and trenchless exterior methods whenever possible. We locate pipe runs precisely, limit demolition to small sections, and always patch, repaint, or landscape after the job so your home looks just as good—or better—than before.
How long does a whole-house pipe upgrade typically take?
A two-bathroom Rutledge home usually requires 2–4 days for complete repiping, depending on pipe accessibility and material choice. Larger homes or projects needing extensive drywall repair can take up to a week. We provide a detailed timeline before work begins and keep you informed daily.
Is financing available for pipe upgrades?
Yes. We offer 0% introductory financing for qualified homeowners through our partner lenders, plus phased payment schedules. We also guide you on potential homeowners-insurance discounts and local rebates for water-efficiency improvements to help offset the investment.
