FAQs
What makes PEX piping a better choice than traditional copper or galvanized pipes for homes in Clinton?
PEX (cross-linked polyethylene) is flexible, resists corrosion and mineral build-up, and tolerates both freezing temperatures and high heat. Unlike copper, it is not subject to pin-hole leaks caused by acidic water, and unlike galvanized steel, it will not rust internally. Its flexibility allows us to run longer, continuous lines with fewer fittings, reducing potential leak points and lowering labor costs—ideal for both new construction and pipe-upgrade projects in Clinton’s mixed seasonal climate.
How long does a whole-home PEX repipe typically take?
For an average single-family home in Clinton (1,500–2,500 sq ft, 2–3 baths), a complete PEX repipe usually takes 2–4 days. Day 1 is spent protecting floors and furnishings, mapping the existing plumbing, and staging materials. Days 2–3 involve running new PEX lines through walls, attics, or crawl spaces, connecting fixtures, and pressure-testing. Final day tasks include patching small wall openings, restoring water service, and conducting a homeowner walkthrough. Larger or more complex homes may require an additional day.
Will upgrading to PEX plumbing damage my walls or floors?
Minimal disruption is a key benefit of PEX. Because the tubing can be ‘fished’ through existing cavities and bends around corners, we usually limit access cuts to small, strategic openings near fixtures and manifold locations. Floors are rarely opened unless the home has slab plumbing that needs rerouting. All access points are patched, textured, and primed; most clients find repainting is the only follow-up step needed.
How much does a PEX pipe upgrade cost in the Clinton area?
Costs depend on home size, the number of fixtures, and the accessibility of existing piping, but typical full repipe projects in Clinton range from $4,500 to $9,500. That includes materials, labor, permits, basic drywall repair, and system flushing. We provide a fixed written quote after an on-site assessment, and financing options with low monthly payments are available for qualified homeowners.
Is PEX safe for drinking water and does it affect taste or odor?
Yes. PEX tubing approved for potable water meets NSF/ANSI Standard 61 for health effects. It is free of lead, BPA, and phthalates. Because the interior surface is smooth and non-metallic, it does not impart a metallic taste or allow scale formation. After installation we thoroughly flush the system to remove harmless factory lubricants, ensuring fresh, clean-tasting water from day one.
What kind of warranty is offered on a PEX repipe project?
Our Clinton customers receive a dual warranty: 25-year manufacturer coverage on PEX tubing and fittings, plus our own 10-year labor warranty against workmanship defects. Should any leak or connection issue arise within that period, we will repair it at no cost. Annual plumbing inspections are also available to extend peace of mind and keep the system operating at peak performance.
