FAQs
What modern plumbing technologies do you offer in Speedwell?
Our Speedwell team installs and services a range of cutting-edge solutions, including trenchless pipe repair systems, smart leak-detection sensors, Wi-Fi–enabled water heaters, grey-water recycling units, touchless faucets and toilets, and high-efficiency circulation pumps. These technologies minimize water waste, reduce energy bills, and eliminate much of the invasive work traditionally associated with plumbing projects.
How does trenchless pipe repair work and when is it recommended?
Trenchless repair allows us to rehabilitate damaged underground pipes without large-scale excavation. After inspecting the line with a fiber-optic camera, we insert a resin-soaked liner or pull a new HDPE pipe through the old one. The resin cures in place to create a seamless, joint-free pipe or the new pipe replaces the failing line. It’s ideal for cracked, root-invaded, or corroded pipes where digging up landscaping, driveways, or sidewalks would be costly and disruptive.
Are smart water heaters really worth the investment?
Yes. Wi-Fi–connected water heaters let you adjust temperature, set vacation modes, and receive leak alerts from your phone. Many models use adaptive learning to heat water only when needed, translating into energy savings of 10-20 %. Utility rebates and longer lifespans—thanks to advanced corrosion protection and self-diagnostics—further offset the upfront cost. Most Speedwell homeowners recoup their investment within three to five years.
Can I monitor and manage my household’s water usage?
Absolutely. We install whole-home smart meters that track flow in real time, detect minute leaks, and send usage reports to a mobile app. You can set consumption goals, receive push notifications if water use spikes, and even shut off the main valve remotely to prevent flood damage. This level of insight typically reduces overall household consumption by 8-15 %.
How do touchless fixtures improve hygiene and efficiency?
Touch-free faucets and toilets use infrared or capacitive sensors to activate only when hands are present, eliminating a major point of germ transmission. They also shut off automatically, cutting sink water waste by up to 70 % and ensuring toilets flush with the optimal volume. Many fixtures feature adjustable run times and diagnostic LEDs that notify you when battery power is low or maintenance is needed.
What kind of maintenance and support do you provide after installation?
Every modern system we install in Speedwell comes with a comprehensive maintenance plan. This includes annual on-site inspections, remote performance monitoring, software/firmware updates for smart devices, and priority scheduling for any repairs. Our 24/7 support line connects you to a licensed technician who can often diagnose and resolve issues remotely, saving you time and avoiding unnecessary service calls.
