FAQs
How can I tell if my Jamestown home needs a full-home repipe instead of spot repairs?
Common warning signs include repeated pin-hole leaks, visible corrosion on exposed lines, rusty or discolored water, low water pressure throughout the house, and a plumbing system that still uses galvanized steel or early-generation polybutylene. If several of these symptoms appear in a home that is 40+ years old, a complete repipe is typically more cost-effective and reliable than chasing individual repairs.
What piping materials do you recommend for upgrades in Jamestown, and why?
We normally install Type L copper or high-grade PEX-A. Copper is time-tested, resists UV light, and adds resale value. PEX-A is flexible, freeze-resistant, quiet, and often less expensive to install because it requires fewer fittings and wall penetrations. For most Jamestown homes we design hybrid systems that run copper risers to fixtures that receive direct sunlight (attics, exterior walls) and PEX runs behind interior walls and ceilings. All materials meet or exceed North Carolina plumbing code and come with 25-year manufacturer warranties.
How long does a whole-house repipe project usually take?
A typical three-bath, two-story Jamestown home is fully repiped in 2–4 days. Day 1 is devoted to home protection, partial wall/ceiling access, and rough-in of new main trunk lines. Day 2 covers branch lines, pressure testing, and municipal inspection. Larger homes or extensive drywall/ tile restoration can add another 1–2 days. We provide a detailed schedule before work begins so you know exactly what to expect.
Will my water be shut off the entire time, and do we need to move out?
No. We stage the repipe in zones so most families keep cold water service for cooking, toilets, and hand-washing at the end of each work day. Hot water is usually off for one overnight period while the water heater is reconnected. All work areas are contained with plastic sheeting and drop cloths, so you can safely remain in the home. If you prefer to stay elsewhere, we can coordinate our schedule with your travel dates.
What does a full-home repipe cost in the Jamestown area, and what factors affect price?
In 2024, repiping a single-family home in Jamestown generally ranges from $4,500 to $12,000. Key factors include square footage, number of fixtures, one-story vs. multi-story, choice of PEX or copper, accessibility of crawlspaces/attics, and the amount of drywall or tile restoration required. We provide a free on-site assessment and a fixed-price proposal so there are no surprises.
Do you handle permits and inspections, and is my repipe covered by a warranty?
Yes. Jamestown and Guilford County require a plumbing permit for any whole-house repipe. Our team secures the permit, schedules the rough-in and final inspections, and provides you with the signed approval card for your records. All workmanship is covered by our 10-year labor warranty, and the pipe manufacturers back their products for up to 25 years. If you sell your home, these warranties are fully transferable to the new owner.
