FAQs
Why should I consider upgrading the pipes in my Sevierville home?
Many homes near the Little Pigeon River were built with galvanized steel or polybutylene piping that is now well past its service life. These older materials corrode, clog, or become brittle, leading to low water pressure, rusty-colored water, and unexpected leaks. A proactive pipe upgrade eliminates these risks, improves water quality, and often increases property value while bringing your plumbing up to modern code.
What pipe materials do you recommend for replacements and why?
We typically install Type L copper or PEX-A (cross-linked polyethylene). Copper is time-tested, highly durable, and naturally antimicrobial—great for homeowners who prefer metal piping. PEX-A is flexible, freeze-resistant, faster to install, and usually more affordable. We assess water chemistry, home layout, and your budget before recommending one or a hybrid solution so you receive the best performance and value.
How long does a whole-house repipe usually take?
For an average 2-bath, 1,800 sq ft Sevierville home, a full repipe with drywall patching and finish work generally takes 2–4 days. Larger homes or projects requiring extensive crawl-space or attic work may take up to a week. We create a detailed timeline in advance and keep at least one bathroom operational whenever possible to minimize disruption.
Will my water be shut off during the upgrade?
Yes, but only in short, scheduled blocks. We isolate and replace sections one at a time, meaning you can still use water in other areas of the house during much of the project. We’ll provide a daily schedule so you know exactly when to expect brief outages and can plan showers, laundry, and dishwashing around them.
Do I need a permit for pipe upgrades in Sevierville?
Yes. The City of Sevierville and Sevier County require plumbing permits for most repipe projects. Little Pigeon River Plumbing pulls all necessary permits, coordinates inspections, and ensures your new system meets the 2021 International Residential Code (IRC) as adopted locally. This protects you from fines, ensures proper workmanship, and can ease insurance or resale concerns.
How much does a repipe cost, and are financing options available?
Costs vary by home size, material choice, and accessibility, but most projects in the Sevierville area fall between $4,000 and $9,000. We offer transparent, itemized estimates and several financing plans, including 0% interest options for qualified homeowners, to spread payments over 6–24 months. During your free on-site consultation, we’ll measure, inspect, and provide a firm quote so there are no surprises.
