FAQs
What are “mystery leaks,” and how can I tell if I have one in my Apison home?
A mystery leak is any water loss that can’t be traced to a visible fixture, such as a dripping faucet or a running toilet. Common warning signs include an unexplained spike in your water bill, the sound of running water behind walls, damp or warm spots on floors, and mold or mildew odors. If you notice these symptoms, schedule a professional leak detection service right away to pinpoint the source before structural or mold damage occurs.
Why should I consider a full or partial pipe upgrade instead of just repairing the leak?
Pipes in many Apison homes are 30–50+ years old and made from materials (galvanized steel, polybutylene, or early PVC) that are prone to corrosion, scaling, and cracking. Simply patching one leak may leave the rest of the aging system vulnerable to future failures. Upgrading to modern PEX or Type L copper piping not only resolves the current leak but also improves water pressure, water quality, and the long-term reliability of your plumbing, often adding value to your property.
What pipe materials do you recommend for Apison’s climate and water quality?
We typically recommend PEX (cross-linked polyethylene) or Type L copper. PEX is flexible, resistant to scale buildup and freeze damage, and generally more affordable to install. Type L copper is extremely durable, has natural antimicrobial properties, and performs well with Apison’s municipal water chemistry. We’ll evaluate your home’s layout, budget, and usage patterns to help you choose the best material.
How long does a leak detection and pipe upgrade project take?
Most leak detection appointments take 1–2 hours using acoustic sensors, infrared cameras, and pressure testing. If only a small section of pipe needs replacement, repairs can be completed the same day. A whole-house repipe typically takes 2–5 working days, depending on home size, pipe accessibility, and whether drywall repairs are required. We provide a detailed timeline before any work begins.
Will I have to leave my home or lose water service during the upgrade?
You can usually remain in your home. For partial upgrades, we isolate the affected zones so you still have water in other areas. During a whole-house repipe, water is shut off in stages, limiting total downtime to a few hours each day. We’ll coordinate with you to schedule shut-offs at the least disruptive times and, if necessary, set up temporary water connections for essential fixtures.
How much do pipe upgrades cost in Apison, and do you offer financing?
Pricing depends on project scope, pipe material, and home size. As a ballpark, small spot repairs start around $350–$600, while a whole-house PEX repipe averages $4,000–$8,000; copper runs higher. We provide a written, itemized estimate after inspection. To make larger projects easier to manage, we offer 0% interest financing options for 6–12 months (with approved credit) and accept major credit cards.
