FAQs
What advantages does upgrading to PEX piping offer for my Harrison home?
PEX (cross-linked polyethylene) piping is flexible, corrosion-proof, and resistant to scale build-up, meaning fewer leaks and better water pressure over time. Because it expands slightly when frozen, PEX is far less likely to burst during Harrison’s winter cold snaps. The material is also quieter than copper, installs with fewer fittings, and typically costs 20–40 % less than traditional repiping alternatives.
How long does a complete PEX repipe usually take?
For an average 2-bath Harrison residence, we can usually remove the old supply lines and install new PEX in 1–2 days, followed by a brief drywall patch and paint phase. Larger homes or those with very limited access spaces may take 3–4 days, but PEX’s flexibility and minimal need for soldered joints make the job much faster than copper repiping.
Is PEX safe for drinking water and compliant with local building codes?
Yes. All PEX tubing we install is NSF/ANSI 61 certified for potable water and carries a chlorine resistance rating of at least CL5. Harrison follows the New York State Residential Code, which approves PEX when it is third-party listed and installed with proper support and manifold systems. We pull all required permits and arrange final inspections so you have documented code compliance.
Will PEX stand up to Harrison’s freeze–thaw climate?
Absolutely. PEX can expand up to three times its diameter and return to its original size once thawed, making it exceptionally freeze-resistant compared with copper or CPVC. We still recommend pipe insulation in unconditioned spaces, but PEX dramatically lowers the risk of catastrophic pipe bursts during sudden temperature drops common in the Hudson Valley.
Do I need to leave my house while the pipe upgrade is underway?
In most cases you can stay home. We stage the project so only portions of the water system are offline at any given time, restoring cold water each evening whenever possible. If your schedule allows, many clients choose to be out for one workday while we pull the old lines, but full relocation is rarely necessary.
What warranty do you provide on PEX materials and workmanship?
Our Harrison customers receive the manufacturer’s 25-year limited warranty on PEX tubing and our own 10-year labor warranty covering fittings, manifolds, and installation craftsmanship. Should any covered leak or performance issue arise, we repair or replace the affected section at no cost to you—including parts, labor, and any related drywall repair.
