FAQs
Why should I consider a whole-house pipe upgrade instead of repeated spot repairs?
If your home still has galvanized steel, polybutylene, or aging copper lines, small leaks and low water pressure are often symptoms of widespread corrosion inside the system. A whole-house upgrade replaces every supply line at once, eliminating hidden weak points, improving water quality, and restoring full pressure. The single, planned project typically costs less in the long run than paying for multiple emergency repairs, drywall fixes, and water-damage restoration.
What piping materials do you install in Grandview homes during a repipe?
We primarily install type L copper or PEX-A tubing, depending on your budget, water-quality concerns, and future remodeling plans. Copper offers unmatched longevity and heat resistance, while PEX-A provides flexibility for fewer fittings, freeze-damage resilience, and quieter operation. We review each option’s pros and cons with you, test your water chemistry, and help you choose the best material for your household.
How long will a whole-house pipe upgrade take, and will I be without water the entire time?
Most Grandview single-family homes are fully repiped in 2–5 days. We stage the project so you usually regain evening water service on the first day and maintain at least one functioning bathroom throughout the job. Total water shut-offs are limited to a few hours while we switch over to the new system and complete final pressure tests.
Will repiping damage my walls or floors, and how do you handle restoration?
Our technicians use strategic access points—inside closets, behind appliances, or in the attic—to minimize drywall cuts. We protect flooring with drop cloths, create dust-controlled containments, and remove only the wall sections required to fish in new lines. After testing, we patch, texture, and prime all openings. If you prefer, we can coordinate with your painter for final color matching so your home looks exactly as it did—or better—before we started.
How much does a whole-house pipe upgrade cost in Grandview, and what factors affect the price?
Grandview repipes generally range from $4,500 for a small, single-bath bungalow to $15,000+ for large, multi-story homes with complex layouts. Key pricing factors include square footage, number of fixtures, choice of copper vs. PEX, accessibility (slab foundation vs. crawlspace), and any code upgrades such as new shut-off valves or seismic bracing. We provide a fixed, written quote after a free in-home evaluation so there are no surprises.
Do I need permits or inspections for a whole-house repipe, and do you handle that process?
Yes. The City of Grandview requires a plumbing permit and a final inspection to verify that the new system meets the current International Residential Code and local amendments. We obtain all permits, schedule inspections, and remain on-site to address any inspector questions. Once the city signs off, we provide you with the permit number and inspection record for your files, which can be valuable if you sell your home in the future.
