FAQs
How can I tell if I have a hidden plumbing leak in my New Tazewell home?
Common signs include unexplained spikes in your water bill, the sound of running water when no fixtures are on, damp or discolored walls and ceilings, musty odors, and low water pressure. If you notice any of these symptoms, schedule a professional leak detection service as soon as possible to prevent further damage.
What methods do you use to locate concealed leaks without tearing up my property?
Our licensed technicians use advanced non-invasive tools such as acoustic listening devices, thermal imaging cameras, moisture meters, and pressure testing equipment. These technologies let us pinpoint the leak’s exact location behind walls, under slabs, or in yard lines with minimal disruption to your home or landscaping.
Why should I consider a whole-house pipe upgrade instead of repeated spot repairs?
Older homes in the New Tazewell area often have galvanized steel, polybutylene, or deteriorating copper lines that are prone to recurring leaks and corrosion. A complete repipe with modern PEX or Type L copper increases water pressure, improves water quality, eliminates chronic leak risks, and adds long-term value to your property. It can be more cost-effective over time than paying for frequent emergency repairs.
How long does a typical pipe upgrade or repipe project take?
Most single-family homes can be fully repiped in 2–5 days, depending on square footage, the number of fixtures, and the pipe material chosen. We coordinate inspections, drywall repair, and clean-up so that you experience minimal downtime. You’ll retain partial water service for most of the project, and we’ll keep you informed at every step.
Will my walls and floors need to be removed during the upgrade?
We strategically access pipes through small, targeted openings in drywall, ceilings, or flooring. After the new piping is installed and pressure-tested, our team patches, textures, and repaints those areas to match existing finishes. In most cases, you won’t be able to tell the work was ever done.
Are financing options or warranties available for leak repairs and pipe upgrades?
Yes. We offer affordable financing plans with low monthly payments for qualified homeowners in New Tazewell. All repipe projects include a comprehensive manufacturer’s warranty on materials (25–50 years depending on product) and a 5-year labor warranty. Leak repairs carry a 1-year parts and labor guarantee, giving you peace of mind.
