FAQs
Why should I consider upgrading my home’s pipes in Pikeville?
Many houses in Pikeville were built before modern plumbing codes existed, meaning they often contain galvanized steel or poly-butylene lines that are now past their service life. Aging pipes are more prone to leaks, mineral buildup, low water pressure, and even contamination. A customized pipe upgrade replaces these outdated materials with today’s longer-lasting options, protecting your property from water damage, boosting efficiency, and raising resale value.
What piping materials do you offer for upgrades?
We install several code-approved materials so you can match your budget, water-quality goals, and future plans: • PEX A & B – Flexible, freeze-resistant, and ideal for running through existing walls with minimal demolition. • Type L Copper – Time-tested, adds home value, and withstands high temperatures, perfect for exposed basements or high-end remodels. • CPVC – Cost-effective rigid plastic rated for hot and cold water, often used when copper prices are high. • Stainless-Steel Corrugated – A premium option for specialty applications or aggressive water chemistry. During the consultation we explain the pros and cons of each and design a hybrid system if it makes sense for your project.
How can I tell if my current pipes need to be replaced?
Common warning signs include rusty-colored water, metallic taste, frequent pin-hole leaks, water spots on ceilings, unexplained high water bills, and rattling or banging (water hammer). If your home was built before 1980 and still has original plumbing, proactive replacement can save thousands in emergency repairs. We also offer camera inspections and water-pressure testing to verify pipe condition.
How disruptive is the pipe upgrade process and how long will it take?
Most single-family homes in Pikeville can be completely re-piped in 2–5 days. We plan the project in phases: Day 1 mapping and prep, Days 2-3 installation, Day 4 pressure testing and inspections, and Day 5 drywall/finish repairs if required. Water is usually off for only a few hours, and we set up temporary connections so you are never without essential service overnight. We use dust barriers and cleanup daily to keep your home livable.
Will upgrading my pipes improve water quality and pressure?
Yes. New pipes eliminate internal corrosion, mineral scaling, and biofilm deposits that restrict flow and introduce contaminants. Pikeville’s municipal water has moderate hardness, so modern materials like PEX or copper maintain a smooth interior surface, restoring full pipe diameter and increasing pressure at fixtures. You will also notice clearer water and faster hot-water delivery, which can lower energy use.
How much does a customized pipe upgrade cost and are financing options available?
Pricing depends on home size, pipe material, and accessibility, but most Pikeville projects range from $3,500 to $12,000. We provide a written, line-item estimate after an on-site assessment, and we never charge hidden fees. To make the investment easier, we partner with local banks to offer zero-interest financing for 6–12 months or low-interest plans up to 60 months. All work is backed by a transferable 25-year material warranty and a 5-year workmanship guarantee.
