FAQs
What are the main advantages of upgrading to PEX piping in my Evensville home?
Cross-linked polyethylene (PEX) offers several benefits over older galvanized, copper, or CPVC lines. It is flexible, allowing long continuous runs with fewer fittings—meaning fewer potential leak points. PEX will not corrode, pit, or scale in Evensville’s mineral-rich water, and its slight expansion makes it far more freeze-resistant than rigid pipe. Because it comes in color-coded coils, installs quickly, and requires no flame soldering, labor costs drop and your walls need less demolition. Homeowners notice quieter water flow, better water pressure, and long-term energy savings because PEX’s smooth interior reduces friction loss.
How long does a typical whole-house PEX repipe take?
In most single-family homes in Evensville, a complete repipe can be finished in 1–3 working days. Day 1 is used to pull new PEX lines through attics, crawl spaces, or wall cavities. Day 2 is for tying in fixtures, pressure-testing, and passing the rough-in inspection. Larger homes, multi-story layouts, or extensive drywall repairs can add an extra day. We coordinate inspection schedules with Rhea County officials in advance to keep your project on track.
Is PEX safe for drinking water, and does it meet local building codes?
Yes. The PEX tubing we install is certified to NSF/ANSI 61 for potable water, is lead-free under NSF 372, and carries ASTM F876/F877 ratings. Tennessee adopted the International Plumbing Code (IPC) that fully recognizes PEX since 2009, and Evensville follows those same standards. All connections are made with ASTM-approved expansion or crimp fittings, and our crew pulls the required municipal permits so every job is inspected and documented.
How does the cost of a PEX upgrade compare to copper or CPVC?
Material prices for PEX average 20–30 % less than copper and are similar to CPVC, but installation labor is typically 30–50 % faster, delivering an overall savings of 25–40 % on most repipe projects. You also avoid future costs linked to copper corrosion pin-holes or CPVC brittleness. Because PEX runs can be fished through existing cavities, you’ll spend less on drywall and paint touch-ups as well.
Will I need to leave my house while you replace the pipes?
Usually not. We stage the work so that only short sections of your plumbing are shut off at any time. You’ll have water in at least one bathroom and the kitchen most of the day. Near project completion we schedule a final 2–4 hour water shut-down to switch over to the new manifold. If a complete shutdown is unavoidable, we will coordinate a convenient window or provide temporary hose connections.
What warranty do you provide on PEX pipe installations in Evensville?
You receive the manufacturer’s 25-year limited warranty on PEX tubing and approved fittings, plus our own 5-year workmanship guarantee covering leaks or connection failures. Our company is fully licensed, bonded, and insured in Tennessee, and every project includes a post-installation inspection report for your records.
