FAQs

What is PEX plumbing and why should I consider upgrading to it in my Maryville home?

PEX (cross-linked polyethylene) is a flexible, durable plastic piping that has rapidly become the standard for new construction and re-pipe projects. Unlike older galvanized or copper lines, PEX resists corrosion, mineral build-up, and freezing damage. For Maryville homeowners, upgrading to PEX can mean fewer future leaks, better water pressure, and a system that is easier and less invasive to install because the tubing can bend around obstacles without multiple fittings.

How does PEX compare to copper or galvanized steel in terms of lifespan and maintenance?

PEX carries a life expectancy of 40–50+ years, similar to copper but without the risk of pin-hole leaks caused by acidic water. Galvanized steel often fails after 30–40 years due to internal rust and mineral deposits. Maintenance on PEX is minimal; there is no need to solder joints or worry about corrosion. Additionally, PEX’s flexible nature allows for fewer connections, which means fewer potential leak points in the system.

How long does a whole-home PEX repipe typically take in Maryville, and will I be without water during that time?

A standard 2-bathroom Maryville home can usually be fully repiped with PEX in 1–3 days. Larger or more complex layouts may take up to a week. We stage the work so that you are normally without water for only a few hours—usually at the very end of the project when we make the final tie-ins. Most clients stay in their homes throughout the upgrade with minimal disruption.

Is PEX safe for drinking water, and will it affect my water taste or pressure?

Yes. PEX is certified to NSF/ANSI 61 for potable water and is approved by the Tennessee Department of Environment & Conservation. It does not leach heavy metals, and any initial plastic taste dissipates after the first few days of use. Because PEX is smoother internally than metal pipes, it often improves flow, giving you noticeably stronger, more consistent water pressure.

Do I need permits or inspections for a PEX upgrade in Maryville, and do you handle that paperwork?

The City of Maryville and Blount County require a plumbing permit and a final inspection for any whole-home repipe. Our licensed plumbers take care of the permit application, schedule the inspections, and meet with the inspector on-site. You’ll receive documentation upon completion that your new PEX system meets all current local codes.

What does a PEX repipe cost and what kind of warranty do you offer?

Costs depend on home size, fixture count, and ease of access, but most Maryville repipes fall between $4,500 and $8,500 for a typical 3-bedroom, 2-bath home. We provide a fixed, written estimate after an on-site evaluation—no surprise fees. Our installations include a 25-year manufacturer warranty on the PEX tubing and a 10-year labor warranty covering workmanship and fittings, giving you long-term peace of mind.
