FAQs
What qualifies as a “complex plumbing renovation” in Speedwell?
In our industry, a complex plumbing renovation goes beyond replacing a faucet or installing a new toilet. It typically involves re-routing or upsizing supply and waste lines, adding or relocating fixtures, integrating new technologies such as tankless water heaters or smart leak-detection systems, or bringing an older home up to current Speedwell and Tennessee plumbing codes. Projects like full-house re-piping, converting from septic to municipal sewer, or adding bathrooms to an unfinished basement all fall into this category.
Do I need permits or inspections for major plumbing work in Speedwell?
Yes. The City of Speedwell and Claiborne County require plumbing permits any time piping is moved, substantially altered, or connected to public utilities. After the permit is issued, an on-site rough-in inspection is performed before walls are closed, followed by a final inspection at project completion. We obtain all permits on your behalf, schedule inspections, and provide you with copies of the approved inspection reports for your records.
How long does a complex plumbing renovation usually take?
Timeframes vary with project size and site conditions, but most whole-home re-piping or multi-room remodels run 5–10 working days. A single luxury master bath may take 3–5 days if walls stay open, whereas a full kitchen/bath/laundry overhaul in an older home can extend to 2–3 weeks. We give you a written schedule that details demolition, rough plumbing, pressure testing, inspection, and finish-out so you always know what happens next.
Will you coordinate with other trades during my renovation?
Absolutely. Complex plumbing renovations often overlap with electricians, HVAC techs, framers, and tile installers. We supply clear rough-in drawings, attend on-site coordination meetings, and sequence our work to minimize downtime for other trades. This approach keeps the entire remodel on schedule and prevents costly re-work caused by conflicting pipe runs or fixture placements.
How do you protect my home while major plumbing work is underway?
We treat your property as if it were our own. Before work starts, floors are covered with Ram Board or poly sheeting, dust barriers are hung in doorways, and HVAC returns are sealed to prevent debris from circulating. Water is shut off in sections so you maintain partial service whenever possible. At day’s end we vacuum, remove debris, and leave pathways clear. All crew members wear company uniforms and follow our zero-tolerance policy on smoking, loud music, and profanity.
What kind of warranty do you provide on renovated plumbing systems?
Every complex renovation comes with a two-tier guarantee: (1) a 12-year workmanship warranty covering leaks or installation faults in any piping we run, and (2) full manufacturer warranties on fixtures and appliances—typically 5 years on faucets and valves, 6 years on water heaters, and lifetime on select PEX and copper materials. We register all products for you and supply a single warranty packet for easy reference. In the rare event of a problem, our Speedwell service team responds within 24 hours.
