FAQs
Why should I consider upgrading my old plumbing pipes in Harrison?
Older galvanized steel or polybutylene pipes are prone to corrosion, leaks, and restricted water flow. Upgrading to modern materials such as PEX or copper minimizes the risk of sudden pipe bursts that can lead to costly water damage. New pipes also improve water pressure, enhance water quality, and add value to your Harrison property.
What are the signs that my home has water-damage-related plumbing issues?
Common indicators include discolored walls or ceilings, unexplained spikes in water bills, musty odors, warped flooring, visible mold, and lower-than-usual water pressure. If you notice any of these symptoms in your Harrison home, schedule a professional inspection promptly to prevent further damage.
How long does a typical whole-house pipe upgrade take?
For an average 2- to 3-bathroom home in Harrison, a full repipe usually takes 3–5 days, depending on accessibility and the extent of drywall repairs required. We plan the project in stages—shut-off, removal, installation, pressure testing, and wall restoration—to minimize disruption to your household.
Will my water service be shut off during the pipe upgrade?
Yes, but only for short, scheduled periods. We coordinate with you to shut off water while we remove old lines and connect new ones. Typically, water is restored at the end of each workday so you have functional fixtures overnight. For critical needs, temporary water bypass solutions can be arranged.
Are there local Harrison codes or permits required for pipe upgrades?
Absolutely. Harrison follows New York State Plumbing Code, which mandates permits for major plumbing alterations. Our licensed plumbers handle all permit applications, inspections, and code compliance, ensuring your new piping meets current standards for safety, efficiency, and backflow prevention.
How much does a pipe upgrade cost, and are financing options available?
Costs vary with pipe material, home size, and accessibility. In Harrison, whole-house repiping typically ranges from $6,000 to $15,000. We provide a detailed, itemized estimate after an on-site assessment. Flexible financing plans and insurance claim assistance are available to make the project more affordable.
