FAQs
What are the most common signs my Luttrell home may need whole-home repiping?
Persistent low water pressure, discolored or rust-tinged water, recurring leaks in different parts of the house, strange metallic or earthy tastes, and pipes that are 40–50+ years old are key indicators. Homes in Luttrell built before the mid-1980s often used galvanized steel, polybutylene, or early copper that has now corroded. If you notice any of these warning signs, a professional pipe inspection can confirm whether a full repipe is the safest, most cost-effective solution.
Which pipe materials do you install, and how do they compare?
We primarily install PEX and Type L copper. PEX (cross-linked polyethylene) is flexible, resists scale buildup, won’t corrode, and generally costs less in material and labor. It’s ideal for Luttrell’s variable temperatures because it expands slightly in freezing conditions, reducing the risk of bursts. Type L copper is more rigid, highly durable, and naturally antimicrobial, making it a premium option for homeowners who prefer metal piping. Both materials meet or exceed Tennessee plumbing codes; during your consultation, we’ll explain life-cycle costs, warranty coverage, and suitability for your home’s layout.
How long does a whole-home repipe take, and will I need to move out?
An average single-story, two-bathroom home in Luttrell typically takes 2–3 days to repipe. Larger or multi-story houses can take 4–7 days. We stage the project so that you have water at the end of each workday, meaning most families can remain in the home. Water will only be off for a few hours at a time while we switch over to the new lines. If any section requires extended downtime, we’ll notify you in advance so you can plan around it.
Will my walls and floors be damaged during the repiping process?
We use minimally invasive techniques: running new PEX through attics, crawl spaces, and existing chases whenever possible. Where we must open drywall, we cut small, strategically placed access panels, repipe, and patch the same day. Flooring is rarely disturbed; if it must be lifted, we protect and relay it. After plumbing is complete, we repair, texture, and prime all affected surfaces so they’re paint-ready, leaving your home looking as though we were never there.
How much does whole-home repiping cost in Luttrell, and what factors affect price?
Costs typically range from $4,000 to $12,000, with the majority of Luttrell homes falling between $6,000 and $9,000. Key factors include home size and number of fixtures, pipe material (PEX vs. copper), accessibility (crawl space vs. slab), and any code upgrades such as new shut-off valves or pressure regulators. During our free on-site estimate, we itemize each cost, discuss options to fit your budget, and provide a firm, written quote—no surprise add-ons.
Do you offer warranties or financing for repiping projects?
Yes. All our repipes come with a 25-year manufacturer’s warranty on PEX and a 50-year warranty on copper, plus a 10-year workmanship warranty covering labor and installation. We are fully licensed and insured in Tennessee for your protection. To make repiping more affordable, we partner with local lenders to offer 0% promotional financing for up to 18 months or low-interest plans extending to 60 months, subject to credit approval.
