FAQs
What are the signs that my Erwin home may need a whole-home repipe?
Common indicators include frequent leaks, rusty or discolored water, reduced water pressure, visible corrosion on exposed pipes, and a plumbing system that is more than 40–50 years old. Homes built before the 1980s in Erwin often contain galvanized steel or polybutylene piping, both of which are prone to failure. If you are experiencing repeated leak repairs or poor water quality, a comprehensive inspection can confirm whether a full repipe is the safest, most cost-effective solution.
What pipe materials do you install, and which is best suited for Erwin’s water conditions?
We primarily install Type L copper and PEX-A (cross-linked polyethylene). Copper is time-tested, highly durable, and resistant to UV exposure, making it ideal for interior and exterior runs. PEX-A is flexible, cost-effective, and less prone to freeze damage—an advantage during Erwin’s colder winters. Because Erwin’s municipal water supply is moderately hard but not aggressive, both materials perform well. During your consultation we test your water chemistry and discuss budget, lifespan expectations, and installation logistics to help you choose the material that best meets your needs.
How long does a whole-home repipe take, and will I need to move out?
A typical single-story, 2-bathroom home in Erwin can usually be completed in 2–4 days; larger or multi-story homes may take up to a week. We stage the project so you still have at least one working bathroom most of the time. Water is only shut off in short intervals while we transition sections, meaning most families remain comfortably in their homes throughout the job. We provide a detailed schedule before work begins so you can plan around the brief outages.
Will my walls and floors be damaged during repiping?
We use minimally invasive techniques such as flexible PEX runs through existing cavities and strategic drywall access panels. While some small wall or ceiling openings are unavoidable, we keep them as discreet as possible and always protect floors and furnishings. After piping is replaced and pressure-tested, our crew patches drywall, textures, and primes so the areas are ready for paint. Most homeowners find that repainting a few small patches is the only cosmetic work needed once we’re done.
How much does a whole-home repipe cost in Erwin, and what factors influence pricing?
Costs generally range from $4,000 to $12,000 for most Erwin residences. Price varies based on the home’s square footage, number of fixtures, pipe material (copper typically costs more than PEX), accessibility of existing pipes, and any code-required upgrades such as new shut-off valves or pressure-reducing valves. We provide a free on-site estimate that itemizes labor, materials, permits, and restoration so you know exactly what to expect—no hidden fees.
Do you offer warranties or financing options for full repipes?
Yes. Every whole-home repipe includes a 25-year manufacturer’s warranty on PEX-A tubing, a 50-year warranty on Type L copper, and our own 10-year workmanship guarantee covering leaks or installation defects. For budgeting convenience we partner with local lenders to offer zero-interest promotional financing and low-APR plans up to 120 months. Our team can pre-qualify you in minutes with no impact on your credit score, making a repipe accessible without large upfront costs.
