FAQs
Why should I consider a pipe upgrade for my Tellico Plains home?
Most homes in Tellico Plains built before the mid-1990s still have galvanized steel, polybutylene, or early-generation PVC piping. These materials corrode, become brittle, and are vulnerable to freeze damage in our mountain climate. Upgrading to modern PEX or copper piping restores water pressure, improves water quality, reduces leak risk, and can lower insurance premiums—giving you peace of mind for decades to come.
How do I know my current plumbing pipes need to be replaced?
Common warning signs include rusty or discolored water, low water pressure, recurring leaks, pinhole bursts after cold snaps, and visible corrosion around fittings. If your house is over 30 years old and still has its original piping, a professional inspection is recommended even if you haven’t noticed obvious problems yet.
What pipe materials do you recommend and why?
For most Tellico Plains residences we recommend PEX-A tubing or Type L copper. PEX-A is flexible, resistant to freezing, and less labor-intensive to install, keeping costs down. Type L copper is exceptionally durable, heat-resistant, and has a 50+ year life span. We’ll review water chemistry, budget, and installation access to help you choose the best option for your specific home.
Will a whole-house pipe upgrade disrupt my daily routine?
We stage projects to minimize inconvenience: water is typically off only during working hours, and we restore at least one working bathroom each evening. We protect floors and furniture with drop cloths and plastic sheeting, and we clean up thoroughly every day. Most single-level homes are completed in 2–4 days; larger or multi-story homes take 4–7 days.
How much does a pipe replacement cost in Tellico Plains?
Pricing depends on home size, pipe material, and accessibility (crawl space vs. slab). As a ballpark, PEX repipes start around $4,000 for a 1-bath cottage and range to $10,000–$12,000 for a 3-bath, 2,500-sq-ft home. Copper averages 30-40% more. We provide a detailed, written estimate after a free on-site evaluation so there are no surprises.
Are your pipe upgrades covered by warranties and local code compliance?
Yes. All materials are UPC/IAPMO certified and installed to the 2021 Tennessee Plumbing Code. PEX-A systems carry a 25-year manufacturer warranty, while copper carries up to 50 years. Our workmanship is backed by a 10-year labor guarantee, and every project includes a final inspection report for your records and insurance documentation.
