FAQs
Why should I consider a pipe upgrade for my Englewood home or business?
Older galvanized or polybutylene pipes are prone to corrosion, leaks, and water quality issues. Upgrading them to modern materials like PEX or copper improves water pressure, reduces the risk of costly water damage, and can enhance property value. In Englewood’s fluctuating climate, newer pipes also resist freezing and bursting better than outdated systems.
What signs indicate that my current plumbing may need a pipe upgrade?
Common indicators include frequent leaks, rusty or discolored water, noticeable drops in water pressure, persistent pipe noises (banging or rattling), and visible corrosion on exposed piping. If your property was built before the mid-1980s and hasn’t had a major plumbing update, a professional inspection is highly recommended.
How long does a typical pipe-upgrade project take in Englewood?
Most single-family homes can be re-piped within 2–5 days, depending on the size of the property, accessibility of pipes, and the material chosen. Commercial or multi-unit projects may take longer. Our team provides a detailed timeline after the initial assessment so you know exactly what to expect.
Will my water service be interrupted during the upgrade?
Yes, water will be shut off in phases while old pipes are removed and new ones installed. We schedule downtime in advance and typically restore water at the end of each workday to minimize inconvenience. For businesses, we can plan work outside peak operating hours to reduce disruption.
What piping materials do you recommend, and why?
We most commonly install PEX and Type L copper. PEX is flexible, cost-effective, and resistant to mineral buildup—ideal for Englewood’s varying temperatures. Copper is durable, recyclable, and has a long track record of reliability. During your consultation, we’ll explain the pros and cons of each so you can choose the best fit for your budget and performance needs.
How much does a pipe upgrade cost, and are financing options available?
Costs vary based on pipe material, property size, and project complexity. In Englewood, residential re-pipes typically range from $4,000–$12,000. After a free on-site evaluation, we provide a fixed up-front quote. We also offer flexible financing plans and can assist with insurance claims if the upgrade is prompted by damage covered under your policy.
