FAQs
What cutting-edge pipe upgrade services do you provide in Ten Mile?
We specialize in trenchless pipe replacement, epoxy pipe lining, and high-density polyethylene (HDPE) repiping. These methods let us renew failing galvanized, copper, or PVC lines without extensive excavation, resulting in faster turnaround times, lower landscape repair costs, and long-lasting, corrosion-resistant water delivery.
How does trenchless pipe replacement work and is my property a candidate?
After a camera inspection maps the existing line, we dig two small access points. A pneumatic or hydraulic pulling head feeds a new HDPE pipe through the old pathway, fracturing the damaged pipe outward or lining it internally. Because we avoid open-cut trenches, most lawns, driveways, and patios remain undisturbed. Homes and businesses with pipe runs up to 200 ft and diameters of ¾–6 in are typically ideal candidates.
What pipe materials do you use and why are they better than older options?
We primarily install PEX-a, Type L copper with antimicrobial coating, and SDR-11 HDPE. PEX-a offers freeze resistance and flexibility, copper provides proven durability and fire resistance, and HDPE is immune to electrolysis and soil-borne chemicals. All three exceed current IPC codes, carry 25- to 50-year manufacturer warranties, and deliver superior flow rates compared with aging galvanized or polybutylene pipes.
How long will a typical residential pipe upgrade take from start to finish?
Most single-family homes in Ten Mile can be fully repiped in 1–3 days. Day 1 covers camera inspection, material delivery, and any required permits. Day 2 is dedicated to pipe installation. Day 3 involves pressure testing, disinfecting, and final drywall or landscape touch-ups. Larger properties or complex commercial jobs may extend to 4–7 days, but we provide a detailed timeline before work begins.
Will upgrading my plumbing increase property value or lower insurance premiums?
Yes. Modern piping eliminates common failure points like pinhole leaks, slab leaks, and corrosion, which insurers view as high-risk. Many carriers offer 5–15 % discounts after a certified full-house repipe. Appraisers also factor in new plumbing when determining market value; clients typically see a 50–80 % return on investment at resale, especially when replacing polybutylene or galvanized systems that can deter buyers.
Are financing, rebates, or warranties available for pipe upgrades in Ten Mile?
We partner with local lenders to provide zero-interest financing for 12 months or low-APR terms up to 60 months. TVA energy-efficient home grants may cover part of the cost when upgrading to PEX or HDPE because of reduced water-heater workload. Manufacturer warranties range from 25 years (PEX) to lifetime (HDPE) and our labor is covered for 10 years, giving you long-term protection on your investment.
