FAQs
Why would a Rogersville homeowner need a whole-home repipe instead of simple repairs?
Older homes in Rogersville often still have galvanized steel, polybutylene, or early copper piping that has reached the end of its life span. These materials corrode, develop pinhole leaks, and restrict water pressure. If you’re experiencing frequent leaks, discolored water, low flow, or have pipes more than 40–50 years old, repeated spot repairs become more expensive than replacing the entire system. A whole-home repipe eliminates hidden leaks, restores full water pressure, and adds value to your property while meeting modern plumbing codes.
What pipe materials do you install during a repipe?
We typically recommend PEX-A or Type L copper for Rogersville homes. PEX-A is flexible, resistant to scale and corrosion, less prone to freezing damage, and usually more economical. Type L copper offers exceptional durability, heat tolerance, and a 50-plus-year service life but costs more. After a pressure test and discussion of your budget, water quality, and long-term plans, we help you choose the best material—or a blended system—for your specific needs.
How long does a whole-home repipe take from start to finish?
Most single-family homes in the Rogersville area are fully repiped in 2–5 days. Day 1 is dedicated to protecting floors and furniture, creating minimal access points, and setting up a temporary water bypass so you have limited service during off-hours. Days 2–4 involve running new supply lines, pressure testing, and passing city inspections. The final day is for drywall repair and site cleanup. Larger homes or extensive remodels may add a couple of days, but we provide a detailed timeline before work begins.
Will I have to leave my house while the repipe is being done?
No—most homeowners remain in their houses throughout the project. We schedule shut-offs in short blocks (often early afternoon) so you have running water every morning and evening. Our crew uses plastic sheeting, shoe covers, and negative-air machines to keep dust contained. If we need to shut off water overnight—rare in repipes under 2,000 sq ft—we let you know beforehand so you can plan accordingly.
What does a whole-home repipe cost in Rogersville, and what affects the price?
Costs typically range from $3,500 to $9,000 for a 1- to 3-bathroom home. Key factors include: (1) size and layout of the house, (2) pipe material chosen, (3) accessibility behind walls or in crawlspaces, (4) number of fixtures, and (5) whether drywall and paint restoration is included. We offer free in-home evaluations, itemized estimates, and several financing options to make repiping affordable.
Do you handle permits, inspections, and warranties?
Yes. Rogersville requires a plumbing permit and at least one rough-in and one final inspection. We pull all permits, schedule inspections, and provide documentation for your records. All repipes come with a 25-year manufacturer’s warranty on PEX fittings, a 50-year limited warranty on copper, and our 10-year labor guarantee. If any workmanship issue arises during that period, we repair it at no cost to you.
