FAQs
What signs indicate my Huntland home may need a full repipe?
Common warning signs include low water pressure, rusty-colored or foul-tasting water, frequent leaks, visible corrosion on exposed piping, and pipes made of outdated materials such as galvanized steel or polybutylene. Homes built before the mid-1990s in Huntland often have these materials, which are now known to fail prematurely. If you experience two or more of these symptoms, a professional inspection is recommended to determine whether a whole-home repipe is the most cost-effective long-term solution.
Which piping materials do you use for upgrades and why?
We primarily install Type L copper, PEX-A, or CPVC, depending on the application and customer preference. Type L copper is durable, resists corrosion, and has a 50+ year life expectancy. PEX-A offers flexibility, fewer fittings, freeze resistance, and is more budget-friendly while still providing a 25-50 year life span. CPVC is often chosen for its excellent chlorine resistance and affordability. All materials meet or exceed Tennessee plumbing code and come with manufacturer warranties.
How long does a whole-home repipe take, and will I be without water?
Most Huntland homes can be completely repiped in 2–5 days, depending on square footage, story count, and accessibility. We stage the work so that water is only shut off during specific tie-in periods, typically two to three hours per day. At the end of each workday, we restore at least one full bathroom and the kitchen so you are never entirely without running water overnight.
Will repiping damage my walls, ceilings, or floors?
Some access holes are unavoidable, but we minimize disruption by using strategic drywall cuts, attic and crawl-space routes, and PEX pull-through techniques. Our team protects floors with drop cloths and plastic barriers and photographs every opening for precise restoration. After the new piping passes inspection, we patch, texture-match, and paint all penetrations so your home looks exactly as it did before the project.
What does a whole-home repipe cost in Huntland?
Costs vary with home size, story count, pipe material, and whether you choose to upgrade fixtures simultaneously. On average, repiping a 2-bath, 1,800 sq ft Huntland home ranges from $6,500 to $11,500 for PEX and $9,000 to $15,000 for copper. We provide a free on-site evaluation and a written, fixed-price quote that includes labor, materials, permits, drywall repair, and post-project clean-up so there are no budget surprises.
Are permits required, and do you coordinate inspections?
Yes. Franklin County and the City of Huntland require plumbing permits and rough-in/final inspections for any whole-home repipe. We pull all necessary permits, schedule inspections around your calendar, and remain on-site to answer the inspector’s questions. Once the work passes, we supply you with the signed permit card for your records and to support future home resale disclosures.
