FAQs
What are the most common signs that my Apison home needs a pipe upgrade?
Frequent leaks, rusty or discolored water, unexplained drops in water pressure, and pipes older than 40–50 years are the biggest red flags. In Apison’s humid climate, older galvanized or polybutylene pipes also corrode or become brittle more quickly, which can lead to sudden bursts. If you notice any of these issues, it’s wise to schedule an inspection before water damage occurs.
Which piping materials do you recommend for replacements, and why?
We typically install either cross-linked polyethylene (PEX) or Type L copper. PEX is flexible, resists scale buildup, and handles Apison’s occasional freezing temperatures well because it can expand slightly without bursting. Type L copper is more rigid but highly durable, naturally antimicrobial, and offers excellent temperature resistance. During your consultation we’ll evaluate water quality, existing pipe layout, budget, and personal preferences to recommend the best solution.
How long does a whole-house repipe or major pipe upgrade take?
For an average-sized Apison home (1,800–2,500 sq ft), a complete repipe usually takes three to five working days. Smaller projects—such as upgrading supply lines to a single bathroom or kitchen—can often be completed in one to two days. We stage the job so you have water service at the end of each day whenever possible, minimizing disruption to your routine.
Will upgrading my pipes improve water pressure and quality?
Yes. New piping eliminates hidden leaks and internal corrosion that restrict flow, resulting in more consistent pressure at every fixture. Modern materials like PEX or copper do not leach rust or sediment, so you’ll see clearer, better-tasting water. Many customers also report faster hot-water delivery because we optimize pipe sizing and routing during the upgrade.
How disruptive is the process—will walls and floors need to be torn out?
We use a precision upgrade approach that targets pipe runs strategically, meaning we open only small, surgical access points in drywall or flooring. In many Apison homes we can pull new PEX through existing chases, avoiding major demolition. Any areas we open are patched, textured, and painted to match, leaving your home looking as if we were never there.
Do you offer warranties or financing options for pipe upgrades?
Absolutely. All full-house repipes come with a 25-year manufacturer’s warranty on PEX tubing and a 10-year labor warranty from our company. Copper installations include a 50-year material warranty. We also partner with local lenders to provide low-interest financing plans, allowing you to spread project costs out over 12–60 months with no prepayment penalties.
