FAQs
Why should I consider upgrading the pipes in my Englewood home?
Many homes in Englewood were built with galvanized steel or polybutylene piping, which can corrode, leach metals, or become brittle over time. Upgrading to modern materials—such as PEX or copper—improves water quality, raises property value, reduces the risk of leaks, and brings your plumbing up to current building codes.
How do deteriorating pipes affect my water quality?
Old or corroded pipes can introduce rust, lead, or other contaminants into your drinking water. You may notice discoloration, metallic taste, or low water pressure. These signs indicate that sediment and corrosion are restricting flow and potentially compromising your family’s health.
What pipe materials are recommended for replacements in Englewood?
PEX (cross-linked polyethylene) and Type L copper are the most common choices. PEX is flexible, resistant to freezing, and cost-effective, while copper is durable and naturally resistant to bacteria. Our licensed technicians evaluate water chemistry and local code requirements before recommending the best option for your home.
Will a pipe upgrade disrupt my home for a long time?
Most whole-house repipes in Englewood take 2–5 days, depending on home size and accessibility. We use minimally invasive techniques, such as running PEX through existing cavities and covering small wall openings with neat patches. You’ll usually have water restored at the end of each workday.
Is a plumbing permit required for pipe upgrades in Englewood, CO?
Yes. The City of Englewood Building Division requires a plumbing permit and inspections for any significant pipe replacement. Our team handles all permitting, schedules inspections, and ensures the finished work meets or exceeds local and IPC (International Plumbing Code) standards.
