FAQs
What does your Lifetime Workmanship Guarantee cover on pipe upgrades in Blaine?
Our Lifetime Workmanship Guarantee promises that every pipe, fitting, hanger, and connection we install will remain free from workmanship-related leaks or failures for as long as you own the property. If a problem is traced back to how we cut, soldered, glued, crimped, supported, or otherwise installed the new piping, we will return promptly, make the repair, and cover any direct labor costs—no trip fees, diagnostic charges, or hidden add-ons—forever.
Does the guarantee include pipe materials or manufacturer defects?
The guarantee specifically covers the craftsmanship of our licensed plumbers. Pipe or fixture materials are protected by the manufacturers’ warranties, which typically range from 10 years to a lifetime depending on the brand. If a manufacturer defect causes an issue, we will coordinate the parts replacement at no charge for labor during the product’s warranty period; after that, any labor to replace a defective product is billable, but our workmanship on the reconnection remains guaranteed for life.
Why should Blaine homeowners consider upgrading old pipes?
Many Blaine homes still rely on 40- to 60-year-old galvanized steel or early-generation copper lines that corrode internally, reducing water pressure, discoloring water, and increasing leak risk. Upgrading to modern PEX-A or Type L copper improves flow, eliminates rust and lead concerns, withstands our freeze-thaw cycle better, and adds value to the property. A one-time investment backed by a lifetime workmanship guarantee means you avoid repeat plumbing costs and can market the home with confidence if you sell.
What types of pipe upgrades do you offer under the guarantee?
• Whole-home repiping (PEX-A or copper) • Targeted branch line replacements (kitchen, baths, laundry) • Main water service line replacements to the meter • Trunk line upsizing for basement finishing or additions • Replacement of polybutylene, Quest, or Kitec piping • Code-compliant pressure-balancing and re-venting as needed All work is performed to current Minnesota Plumbing Code standards and permitted through the City of Blaine when required.
How long does a typical pipe upgrade project take—from quote to completion?
After a free on-site evaluation, you’ll receive a fixed-price proposal within 24 hours. Once you approve, we pull any necessary permits and schedule the work, usually within 1–2 weeks. Most single-family whole-home repipes take 2–4 days, with water shut-offs limited to a few hours each day. Occupied homes remain livable, and we perform daily cleanups. A city inspector signs off at rough-in and final stages, and you receive a digital Lifetime Workmanship Guarantee certificate at project closeout.
How do I file a claim if I ever have an issue?
Just call, text, or email our 24/7 service line and mention your guarantee number or property address. We prioritize warranty calls and aim to be on-site within 24 hours—often the same day. Our technician will verify whether the issue is workmanship-related. If so, we repair it on the spot at zero cost to you. If it’s a material failure or unrelated plumbing problem, we’ll explain the findings and provide repair options, but you’ll never be charged for diagnosing a workmanship claim.
