FAQs
What is a complete repipe and why might I need one in Jellico?
A complete repipe is the process of removing every existing supply line in your home and replacing it with new piping, fittings, and valves. In Jellico, many older houses still have galvanized steel or early-generation copper that is now well past its life span. These materials corrode internally, restrict flow, develop leaks, and can discolor or contaminate water. A full repipe solves these issues in one comprehensive project, giving you reliable water pressure, improved water quality, and peace of mind that hidden leaks won’t ruin floors, walls, or foundations.
How can I tell if my Jellico home needs a full repiping rather than spot repairs?
Warning signs include recurring leaks in different areas, rusty or brown water, noticeable drops in water pressure when more than one fixture runs, temperature swings in the shower, and visible corrosion on exposed pipes. If your house was built before about 1980 and still has its original galvanized, polybutylene, or early copper lines, repairs will usually be temporary Band-Aids because the whole system is deteriorating. Our technician can perform a free plumbing evaluation, including pressure testing and pipe-wall inspection, to confirm whether a complete repipe is the most cost-effective long-term solution.
What piping materials do you use for home repiping projects in Jellico?
We generally recommend Type L copper or PEX-A cross-linked polyethylene. Type L copper is a proven, durable metal pipe with excellent resale value and a 50-year+ life expectancy. PEX-A is a flexible, freeze-resistant plastic that installs with fewer fittings, making it ideal for tight crawl spaces common in many Jellico homes. Both materials meet Tennessee plumbing codes and come with manufacturer warranties. During your consultation, we will explain the pros and cons—including cost, longevity, water taste, and installation impact—so you can choose the option that fits your goals and budget.
How long does a whole-house repipe take, and will I need to move out?
A typical single-family residence in Jellico can be fully repiped in 1–3 days, depending on size and accessibility. We stage the work so that water is only off for a few hours—usually the same day we switch each branch over—so you can stay in the home throughout the project. At day’s end we restore water service and ensure at least one functioning bathroom. Larger homes or those requiring extensive drywall repair may extend to a fourth day, but we always give you a timeline up front and keep you updated at every step.
Will repiping my Jellico home damage my walls, ceilings, or floors?
We use minimally invasive techniques. By planning pipe routes in attics, crawlspaces, and closets, we reduce the number and size of access holes needed in finished walls. When openings are unavoidable, we cut clean rectangular holes that are easy to patch. After pressure and leak testing, our team reinstalls insulation, repairs drywall, textures, and repaints to match the surrounding surface—leaving no visible trace the work was done. We also protect floors and furnishings with drop cloths and plastic sheeting throughout the project.
How much does a complete repipe cost in Jellico and do you offer financing?
Costs vary with home size, pipe material, number of fixtures, and how easily we can reach plumbing runs. Most Jellico homeowners spend between $4,000 and $9,000 for a standard 2-bath house, while larger or multi-story properties can range higher. We provide a written, fixed-price proposal after an on-site inspection so you know the exact cost before work starts—no surprise add-ons. For budget flexibility, we partner with local lenders to offer 6-, 12-, and 24-month low-interest financing as well as same-as-cash options. Seniors, military, and first responders receive additional discounts.
