FAQs

What are the most common signs that my home needs a pipe upgrade?

Frequent leaks, reduced water pressure, discolored or foul-tasting water, visible corrosion on exposed pipes, and recurring drain clogs are all indicators that your existing piping may be deteriorating. In Hixson, many homes still have galvanized steel, polybutylene, or aging copper lines that have exceeded their life expectancy. If you notice any of these symptoms, schedule an inspection with Peace of Mind Plumbing. Our licensed technicians use video camera diagnostics and pressure tests to confirm the condition of your supply and drain lines before recommending a replacement plan.

What piping materials do you recommend for replacements in the Hixson area?

For most water-supply lines we recommend Type L copper or cross-linked polyethylene (PEX). Copper is extremely durable, fire-resistant, and bacteriostatic, while PEX offers flexibility, freeze resistance, and lower installation costs. For drain, waste, and vent (DWV) systems we typically use Schedule 40 PVC or ABS, both of which are corrosion-proof and code-compliant in Tennessee. During your consultation, we explain the pros and cons of each option, review local building codes, and help you choose the best material for your budget, water quality, and long-term needs.

How long does a typical whole-house pipe upgrade take?

A full repipe of an average 2-bathroom, single-story home in Hixson usually takes 2–5 working days. The exact timeline depends on square footage, number of fixtures, accessibility of crawl spaces or attics, and whether drywall or flooring needs removal. Peace of Mind Plumbing creates a detailed project schedule upfront, isolates work areas to minimize disruption, and coordinates required inspections with the Hamilton County building department so your water service is restored as quickly as possible.

Will a pipe replacement damage my walls, floors, or landscaping?

Our team uses minimally invasive techniques such as strategic wall openings, PEX manifold systems, and trenchless exterior methods whenever feasible. Interior cuts are kept to discrete 12"x12" access panels that are neatly patched and finished after the new lines are installed. For underground supply or sewer upgrades, we often use pipe-bursting or directional boring, leaving your lawn and driveway largely intact. Before work begins, we walk you through exactly where access points will be placed and how all surfaces will be restored.

How much should I budget for a pipe upgrade in Hixson?

Costs vary with home size, pipe material, and project complexity, but most whole-house water line replacements fall between $4,000 and $12,000. Partial upgrades—such as replacing only the main service line or a failing section—can start around $1,200. Peace of Mind Plumbing provides a free, itemized estimate that includes materials, permits, labor, drywall repair, and post-project inspection. We also offer financing plans and seasonal promotions so you can spread the investment over time without compromising water safety.

Will upgrading my pipes add value to my property?

Yes. Modern piping reduces the risk of leaks and water damage, improves water quality, and assures prospective buyers that a major system has already been updated. According to national real-estate data, homes with recently replaced plumbing can recoup 70% or more of the project cost at resale. In Hixson’s competitive housing market, a documented repipe by a licensed contractor like Peace of Mind Plumbing can be a strong selling point and may even lower your homeowners-insurance premiums.
