FAQs
What is a seamless pipe upgrade and how does it differ from traditional repiping?
A seamless pipe upgrade replaces existing supply lines with flexible, joint-free piping—usually cross-linked polyethylene (PEX) or continuous copper—that can be fed through walls and floors with minimal cutting. Because there are no intermediate fittings inside the run, the risk of hidden leaks and corrosion points is dramatically reduced compared with conventional rigid pipe repiping, which requires multiple soldered or threaded joints behind the drywall.
Why should I consider a seamless pipe upgrade for my Pelham home?
Pelham’s seasonal temperature swings and older housing stock can put stress on aging galvanized or copper pipes, leading to pinhole leaks, rusty water, or low pressure. A seamless pipe upgrade delivers higher flow rates, better water quality, and 50+ year life expectancy while boosting property value. The work is also cleaner and faster than a full tear-out, so you avoid extended downtime and expensive drywall repairs.
How long does a typical seamless pipe upgrade take and will I be without water?
Most single-family Pelham residences can be fully upgraded in one to three days. We isolate small sections of the plumbing at a time, so total water shutdown usually ranges from two to six hours spread over the project—not all at once. We schedule any complete shut-offs for times that are least disruptive to your household routine.
What types of materials are used in your seamless pipe upgrades?
We primarily use ASTM-certified PEX-a tubing for its flexibility, freeze resistance, and 25-year manufacturer warranty. For high-heat service lines or customers who prefer metal, we offer Type L seamless copper installed with press-connect fittings kept in accessible locations. All materials are NSF 61 certified for potable water and fully code-compliant in Pelham.
How much does a seamless pipe upgrade cost in Pelham and what factors influence the price?
Pricing typically ranges from $3,500 for a two-bath cottage to $9,000+ for larger multi-bath homes. Key variables include total fixture count, pipe material (PEX vs. copper), ease of access (finished vs. unfinished basements), and any code-required upgrades such as new shut-off valves or pressure regulators. We provide a fixed written quote after a free on-site assessment, so there are no surprise charges.
Do you offer warranties and what maintenance is required after a seamless pipe upgrade?
Yes. Our labor warranty covers workmanship for 10 years, and material warranties run 25 to 50 years depending on the pipe chosen. Once installed, seamless systems require no special maintenance beyond normal fixture care. We recommend an annual visual check of exposed valves and a whole-home pressure test every five years, services we can perform for a modest fee or as part of a maintenance plan.
