FAQs
What is a whole-home repipe, and how can I tell if my Greenback house needs one?
A whole-home repipe is the process of replacing every hot- and cold-water supply line—from the water meter to each fixture—inside your home. Common signs you may need one include low water pressure, rusty or discolored water, recurring leaks, outdated galvanized or polybutylene piping, and unexplained spikes in water bills. Homes in Greenback built before the mid-1990s often contain materials that have reached the end of their service life, making a repipe the most cost-effective long-term solution.
Which pipe materials do you install for repiping projects in Greenback, and why?
We typically use either Type L copper tubing or PEX-A cross-linked polyethylene. Copper is durable, can handle high temperatures, and has a 50-plus-year track record. PEX-A is flexible, resistant to scale and chlorine, quieter, and often more affordable. All materials we use meet or exceed Tennessee state and Loudon/Blount County plumbing codes, are NSF-certified for potable water, and come with manufacturer warranties of 25 years or more. During your estimate, we explain the pros and cons of each so you can choose what best fits your budget and preferences.
How long will a whole-home repipe take, and will I be without water during the job?
Most single-family homes in Greenback can be fully repiped in 1–3 days, depending on size, story count, and accessibility. You will experience only a few hours of water interruption while we switch over to the new piping. We schedule these tie-ins at times that are least disruptive—often midday—so you still have morning and evening water service. After final inspection, we patch access holes and restore water the same day.
Will repiping damage my walls and floors, and do you handle restoration?
Our licensed plumbers use minimally invasive techniques—running new lines through attics, crawl spaces, and existing chases whenever possible. Small, strategic drywall openings are made to reach fixture stub-outs, and we photograph pipe locations for future reference before closing the walls. We include drywall patching, texture matching, and basic paint touch-ups in every repipe package. Flooring is protected with drop cloths, and we perform a full site cleanup before we leave.
What does a whole-home repipe cost in the Greenback area, and what factors affect pricing?
Costs typically range from $4,000 to $12,000 for most Greenback homes, but the final price depends on square footage, number of bathrooms, choice of copper or PEX, crawl-space vs. slab foundation, and any code upgrades (such as new shut-off valves or pressure-reducing valves). After a free onsite inspection, we provide a fixed, written quote that includes materials, labor, permits, inspections, and wall repair—so there are no surprise add-ons.
Do you offer warranties, permits, and financing for repipes, and how do I get started?
Yes. We pull all required permits with the Loudon or Blount County Building Department and arrange final inspection. Our workmanship is warrantied for 10 years, and pipe manufacturers provide up to 25-year material warranties. We partner with local credit unions to offer 0% same-as-cash financing for six months or low-interest plans up to 60 months.
