FAQs
Why might I need a pipe upgrade for stronger water pressure in my Grandview home?
Older galvanized or undersized copper lines can corrode, accumulate mineral buildup, and restrict flow. Replacing these with modern PEX-A or larger-diameter copper/CPVC restores full internal diameter, eliminates friction losses, and delivers the higher, consistent pressure today’s fixtures and appliances expect.
How do you determine the correct pipe size for my plumbing system?
Our licensed plumbers perform a whole-house demand analysis that factors fixture count, simultaneous usage, pipe run length, and local Grandview pressure regulations. Using IPC and UPC sizing charts, we model the optimal diameter—from ¾" mains to ½" branch lines—to guarantee target gallons-per-minute at every outlet.
Will a pressure-boosting pipe upgrade increase my water bill?
No. Water consumption depends on how long fixtures run, not just pressure. You’ll get faster fills and better shower performance, but usage habits remain the same. In fact, efficient flow can shorten shower times and appliance cycles, sometimes lowering overall consumption.
How disruptive is the upgrade process inside finished walls?
We use minimally invasive techniques: strategic drywall cuts, attic/basement reroutes, and flexible PEX that snakes through existing cavities. Most single-family Grandview homes are completed in 1–2 days, with patching and paint touch-ups included. We protect floors and furnishings and leave the space clean.
Can upgraded pipes help with fluctuating pressure from the city main?
Yes. Larger, smoother pipes reduce internal friction so municipal pressure swings have less impact by the time water reaches your fixtures. We also install pressure-regulating valves (PRVs) and expansion tanks when needed to stabilize delivery and protect appliances.
What warranties and inspections come with your Grandview pipe upgrade service?
All materials carry manufacturer warranties: 25 years on PEX-A, 50 years on type-L copper. Our labor is covered for 10 years. After installation, we perform a 150 psi hydrostatic pressure test witnessed by the Grandview building inspector to certify compliance and give you documented peace of mind.
