FAQs
What is full-scale re-piping and when is it necessary for homes in Harrison?
Full-scale re-piping is the complete replacement of all supply lines in your home—from the water main shut-off to every fixture connection. It becomes necessary when you experience chronic leaks, rusty or discolored water, extremely low pressure, or when the existing pipes are made of outdated materials such as galvanized steel, polybutylene, or deteriorating copper. In Harrison, many homes built before the mid-1980s now show signs of corrosion due to our aggressive water chemistry and seasonal temperature swings, making them prime candidates for re-piping.
What pipe materials do you use for re-piping in Harrison, and how do they compare?
We typically install Type L copper or ASTM-rated PEX-A tubing. Copper is time-tested, highly resistant to UV light, and adds resale value, but it costs more and can be vulnerable to acidic water. PEX-A is flexible, freeze-resistant, quiet during flow, and about 30 percent less expensive to install. Both materials meet New York and local Harrison plumbing codes, carry long manufacturer warranties, and can coexist in hybrid systems if needed. During your estimate, we’ll explain which option best suits your water quality, budget, and future renovation plans.
How long does a whole-house re-pipe typically take, and will I need to leave my Harrison home?
A standard single-family home (1½–2 bathrooms) in Harrison usually takes 2–3 working days to re-pipe; larger or more complex layouts may run 4–5 days. We schedule the job in phases so you are rarely without water for more than a few hours at a time, meaning you can stay in the house throughout the project if desired. We provide temporary kitchen and bathroom hookups at the end of each day whenever possible to minimize disruption.
Will re-piping damage my walls or floors, and how is the property restored?
Access points are created strategically behind fixtures, inside closets, or in ceilings to fish new lines with minimal demolition. Our licensed plumbers protect floors with drop cloths and dust barriers, and we photograph every opening for future reference. After pressure-testing the new system, our in-house restoration team patches drywall, replaces tile, and repaints affected areas to a paint-ready or fully finished state—your choice is outlined in the contract before work begins.
How much does re-piping cost in Harrison and what factors affect the price?
Costs vary from about $6,000 for a small condo to $15,000 or more for larger two-story homes. Key factors include the number of fixtures, accessibility of pipe runs, chosen material (PEX vs. copper), the need for asbestos abatement in older homes, and whether new shut-off valves or a water heater relocation are included. We provide a fixed-price quote after an on-site inspection and offer 0% financing for up to 12 months to help spread out the investment.
Do you handle permits and warranties for re-piping projects in Harrison, and is the work code-compliant?
Yes. Harrison Building Department requires a plumbing permit and pressure test for any whole-house re-pipe; our licensed Master Plumber files all paperwork, schedules inspections, and delivers the final Certificate of Compliance to you. We guarantee our workmanship for 10 years and pass along the full manufacturer warranties—25 years for PEX-A and 50 years for Type L copper. This ensures your new piping system is code-compliant, efficient, and protected for decades.
