FAQs
Why should I consider upgrading my home’s plumbing pipes for drinking-water quality in Hillsboro?
Many Hillsboro homes built before the mid-1980s still have galvanized steel or early copper that can corrode, leach metals, and trap sediment that clouds drinking water. A whole-house pipe upgrade eliminates these contaminants, improves flow, raises resale value, and ensures your water meets the City of Hillsboro’s current plumbing code and Safe Drinking Water Act standards.
What piping materials do you install and which is best for spotless drinking water?
We primarily install Type L copper and NSF-61–certified PEX-a tubing. Both are lead-free and approved by Oregon code. Copper offers extreme longevity (50-plus years) and natural biostatic properties, while PEX is flexible, freeze-resistant, and often more affordable. During the estimate we test your water chemistry and discuss budget, life-cycle cost, and any preference for metal versus polymer to help you choose the ideal material.
How long does a typical whole-house pipe replacement take?
For an average 2-bath, 1,800-sq-ft Hillsboro home the project usually takes 1–2 days. Larger or multi-story homes with finished basements can take 3–4 days. We complete most of the new piping first, then switch over in a single session so your water is only shut off for a few hours, not the entire project duration.
Will my walls and ceilings need to be opened, and do you handle repairs?
Yes, small access openings are made to remove old lines and route new ones, but we use minimally invasive techniques and existing chases whenever possible. After pressure-testing the new pipes, we patch, texture-match, and repaint the affected drywall so the areas are virtually invisible once finished.
How much will a plumbing pipe upgrade cost in Hillsboro?
Pricing depends on home size, pipe material, fixture count, and accessibility, but most projects fall between $4,000 and $12,000. We provide a detailed, written quote that itemizes material choice, labor, permits, drywall repairs, and any optional filtration equipment so you know exactly where every dollar goes.
Do I need permits, and what kind of warranty is included?
Yes. The City of Hillsboro requires a plumbing permit and pressure test for any whole-house repipe. We obtain the permit, schedule inspections, and supply all compliance paperwork for your records. Our workmanship is warranted for 10 years, and the pipe manufacturers offer 25-year (PEX) to lifetime (Type L copper) material warranties, giving you long-term peace of mind.
