FAQs
What types of commercial facilities in La Follette do you service for clean-water plumbing?
Our licensed team handles potable-water plumbing for virtually every commercial property in La Follette, including office buildings, restaurants, healthcare clinics, schools, manufacturing plants, retail stores, hotels, and multi-family housing. Whether you need a new main service line, fixture upgrades, or code compliance corrections, we have the equipment and experience to manage projects of any size.
How do you ensure our potable-water system meets Tennessee and federal regulations?
Before work begins we review the latest International Plumbing Code (IPC), Tennessee Department of Environment & Conservation (TDEC) requirements, and all Campbell County ordinances. During installation we use NSF-61 certified pipe and fittings, follow proper separation distances from sewer lines, and install backflow prevention assemblies where mandated. On completion we pressure-test, disinfect, and submit all required paperwork so your system passes municipal inspection and remains EPA compliant.
What is the typical timeline for installing or replacing a commercial water main?
A straightforward replacement on a small building can be completed in 1–2 business days, while large complexes or projects that require street excavation may take 1–2 weeks. The schedule includes permitting (3–5 business days), utility locates (48–72 hours), excavation and pipe installation, pressure testing, chlorination, bacterial sampling (24-hour lab turnaround), and final inspection. We provide a detailed Gantt chart up front and keep you informed of any changes caused by weather or material lead times.
Do you provide backflow prevention testing and certification?
Yes. Because backflow devices are critical to keeping La Follette’s drinking water safe, we offer annual testing, repairs, and new installations. Our technicians are state-certified to test RPZ, DCVA, and PVB assemblies. After each test we submit the official report to the City Water & Sewer Department and supply you with a compliance certificate for your records and insurance audits.
Can your plumbers work after hours so my business stays open?
Absolutely. We regularly schedule night, weekend, and holiday shifts to minimize downtime for restaurants, medical offices, and retail operations. Our trucks are fully stocked so we can complete most jobs without returning to the shop, and we erect dust barriers and use low-noise equipment when work must be done near occupied areas. Emergency service is available 24/7 throughout Campbell County.
What preventative maintenance options do you offer for commercial plumbing systems?
We tailor maintenance plans to each facility but common services include quarterly water-pressure checks, annual water-heater flushing, valve exercising, aerator cleaning, leak detection with acoustic or thermal imaging, and scheduled backflow testing. Regular maintenance reduces unexpected shutdowns, extends fixture life, lowers water bills, and keeps you ahead of insurance and health-department inspections.
