FAQs
What exactly is a full repipe and why might my Calhoun home need one?
A full repipe means we remove the old hot- and cold-water supply lines throughout the entire house and install brand-new piping, fittings, and shut-off valves. It is necessary when pipes are severely corroded, made of outdated materials like galvanized steel or polybutylene, or have repeated leaks, low water pressure, or discolored water. Replacing every line at once solves chronic plumbing problems, increases water quality, and brings the system up to current codes.
How can I tell if my Calhoun property is due for a full repipe instead of spot repairs?
Common warning signs include multiple slab or wall leaks within a short period, rusty or brown tap water, frequent pinhole leaks, a noticeable drop in water pressure, and pipes older than 40–50 years. If your home was built before the mid-1990s with galvanized, polybutylene, or early CPVC pipe, a professional inspection often shows widespread deterioration that makes repiping more cost-effective than continual patch work.
What piping materials do you use for repiping in the Calhoun area, and what are their benefits?
Most homes today are repiped with either PEX (cross-linked polyethylene) or Type L copper. PEX is flexible, resistant to scale, quieter, and quicker to install, which helps reduce labor costs. It also performs well during Calhoun’s occasional freezing temperatures because it expands slightly without bursting. Type L copper is extremely durable, naturally antimicrobial, and preferred in some historic or high-temperature applications. During our on-site estimate we explain both options and help you choose the best fit for your budget, water quality, and long-term plans.
How long does a full repipe take and will I be without water the whole time?
A typical single-family home in Calhoun can be completely repiped in 1–3 days, depending on size and accessibility. We stage the project so that any water shut-offs occur in short windows, usually toward the end of the workday. Most clients have water service restored every evening, and full water service is permanently back on once the new system passes final pressure tests and the county inspection.
Will repiping destroy my walls and floors, and do you repair the openings?
We use minimally invasive techniques—often running new PEX through attic or crawlspace paths—to limit how many access points we cut. When we must open drywall or flooring, cuts are kept small and strategically placed. After the plumbing is inspected, our team patches, textures, and primes all wall openings. Any tile or specialty finishes are discussed beforehand so you know what restoration is included and what may require a separate tradesperson, such as a tile setter or painter.
How much does a full repipe cost in Calhoun and what factors affect the price?
Prices vary, but most single-story homes run $4,000–$7,500 and two-story homes $6,000–$10,000. Key cost factors include the home’s square footage, number of fixtures, choice of PEX vs. copper, ease of access (slab foundation versus crawlspace), and any code upgrades or permit fees required by Gordon County.
