FAQs
How can I tell if my Apison home needs a whole-home repipe rather than spot repairs?
Frequent pinhole leaks, low water pressure on multiple fixtures, rusty or discolored water, and a mix of copper, galvanized, and polybutylene lines are strong signs your plumbing system has reached the end of its service life. In Apison, many homes built before the late 1990s still contain galvanized or polybutylene piping that is now prone to failure. If you’re experiencing recurring leaks, corrosion, or water quality issues, a comprehensive repipe is usually more cost-effective than continued patchwork repairs.
What pipe materials do you install during a repipe in Apison?
We primarily install Uponor PEX-A or Type L copper, depending on your home’s design, budget, and personal preferences. PEX-A is flexible, resistant to freeze damage, and meets current Tennessee building codes. Type L copper remains an excellent option for high-heat areas and homeowners who prefer a rigid metal supply line. All materials we use meet or exceed IPC and local Hamilton County plumbing code requirements and are backed by a manufacturer’s 25-year (PEX) or 50-year (copper) warranty.
How long does a whole-home repipe take and will I be without water?
Most single-family residences with two to three bathrooms in Apison can be fully repiped in two to three days. Larger homes or those with complex layouts may take up to five days. We normally install the new piping first, keep your existing system active during most of the work, and then perform a brief cut-over—usually limiting water shutoff to 4–6 hours. We’ll coordinate with you so critical tasks like cooking or bathing aren’t disrupted.
Will repiping destroy my walls and floors?
No. We use minimally invasive access techniques, such as running PEX through existing chases and making small, strategic drywall openings that are easy to patch. In 90 percent of Apison projects, we do not disturb flooring at all. After inspection and pressure testing, our team patches, textures, and primes any openings so walls are ready for paint—often leaving little evidence we were ever there.
How much does a whole-home repipe cost in the Apison area?
Pricing depends on your home’s size, pipe material, fixture count, and accessibility. As a ballpark, most 2-bath, 1,800 sq ft homes run $6,500–$9,500 for a complete PEX repipe, while copper averages 30–40 % more because of material cost. Your quote includes permits, drywall repair, final inspection, and a full system flush. We offer financing options and can stage work in phases if needed.
Do you provide warranties or ongoing support after the repipe is complete?
Yes. All whole-home repipes come with a comprehensive two-year labor warranty in addition to the manufacturer’s material warranty—25 years for PEX-A and 50 years for copper. After final inspection, we leave you with a detailed plumbing map, shut-off locations, and maintenance tips. If you have any concerns, a local Apison technician can typically be on-site within 24 hours. Annual wellness checks are also available to maintain water heater settings, pressure regulators, and filtration equipment.
