FAQs
What is seamless pipe replacement, and how does it differ from traditional repiping?
Seamless pipe replacement is a modern pipe-upgrade method that uses continuous lengths of high-performance piping (often PEX or copper) with the fewest possible joints or fittings. By eliminating many of the connection points found in traditional repiping, it reduces the risk of future leaks, improves water flow, and minimizes pressure loss. Traditional repiping typically involves cutting and soldering multiple pipe sections together, which takes longer and leaves more potential leak points.
Why should Rockwood homeowners consider upgrading to seamless piping?
Rockwood’s older housing stock frequently contains galvanized steel or aging copper lines that are prone to corrosion, scale buildup, and pinhole leaks. Upgrading to seamless piping increases water pressure, improves water quality, lowers the chance of leaks, and can raise a home’s resale value. In addition, modern materials like PEX are resistant to freeze-thaw cycles—an important advantage during Rockwood’s cold winters.
How long does a typical seamless pipe replacement project take?
For most single-family homes in Rockwood, a complete seamless pipe upgrade is finished in 1–3 days. The exact timeframe depends on the home’s size, the complexity of the existing plumbing layout, and whether any unforeseen issues (e.g., hidden water damage) are discovered. Our team prepares a detailed schedule before work begins and keeps you informed at every stage so you know exactly when water will be restored.
Will my walls and floors need to be opened up during the upgrade?
In many cases, minimal access points are required. We use strategic wall openings, existing chases, attic spaces, and crawl spaces to route the new continuous pipe runs. When wall cuts are necessary, we keep them as small and neat as possible, and our service includes full patching and finish work. You won’t be left to hire another contractor to repair drywall or flooring once the new piping is in place.
What materials do you use for seamless pipe replacements, and are they safe?
We primarily install cross-linked polyethylene (PEX) tubing and Type L copper. Both are approved by the Rockwood Building Department, NSF-certified for drinking water, and backed by a 25-year manufacturer’s warranty. PEX is flexible, resistant to scale, and quieter than metal pipes, while copper offers time-tested durability, excellent heat resistance, and natural antimicrobial properties. During your consultation, we explain the pros and cons of each so you can choose the best fit for your home and budget.
How much does a seamless pipe upgrade cost in Rockwood, and do you offer financing?
Pricing depends on home size, material choice, and accessibility, but most projects in Rockwood range from $4,000 to $12,000. We provide a written, itemized estimate after a free on-site assessment.
