FAQs
Why should I choose copper pipes over other materials for my New Market home?
Copper piping is corrosion-resistant, rated to last 50–70+ years, tolerates high water pressures, and is naturally antimicrobial, which helps keep water quality high. Unlike some plastics, it will not become brittle in extreme New Market temperature swings, and it is fully recyclable, adding long-term value to your property.
What signs indicate that my existing plumbing needs a copper pipe upgrade?
Frequent pinhole leaks, rusty or discolored water, low water pressure, visible corrosion on exposed pipes, and pipes made of outdated materials such as galvanized steel or polybutylene are strong indicators. If your home is 30–40 years old and still has original plumbing, a proactive copper repipe prevents unexpected water damage.
How long does a typical copper repipe project take in New Market?
Most single-family homes are completed in 2–4 days. Day 1 involves shutting off water, removing old piping, and beginning the rough-in. Day 2–3 focuses on completing new copper runs, pressure testing, and code inspections. Drywall or cosmetic repairs are finished last. Larger homes or complex layouts may add an extra day or two.
Will I need permits, and do you handle New Market plumbing code compliance?
Yes. Madison County requires permits for whole-house repiping. Our team secures all permits, schedules inspections, and installs your new copper system to the latest IPC and local amendments, ensuring pressure ratings, support spacing, and joint brazing methods meet code.
How much does a copper plumbing upgrade cost?
Pricing depends on home size, number of fixtures, accessibility, and whether we must open finished walls or ceilings. In New Market, a 2-bathroom ranch might range from $7,000–$9,000, while a larger 3-bath, two-story home can run $10,000–$14,000. You receive an upfront, itemized quote and flexible financing options.
What maintenance is required after installing new copper pipes?
Very little. Keep water pH between 6.5–8.5 to prevent internal corrosion, avoid chemical drain cleaners that can pit the metal, and insulate exposed pipes in unconditioned spaces to reduce condensation or freezing risk. An annual visual inspection and a whole-home pressure check are usually all that is needed to ensure decades of trouble-free service.
