FAQs
What are the most common signs that my Soddy-Daisy home needs a whole-home repipe?
Frequent leaks, low water pressure, rusty or discolored water, and pipes made of outdated materials such as galvanized steel or polybutylene are the top indicators. In Soddy-Daisy, many older homes still have 40- to 60-year-old piping that has reached the end of its lifespan. If you’re calling a plumber more than once a year for leaks or noticing water stains on walls and ceilings, a comprehensive repipe is typically the most cost-effective long-term solution.
How long does a whole-house repipe usually take?
For most single-family homes in the Soddy-Daisy area, the physical pipe replacement phase takes 2–5 days, depending on the size of the house and the complexity of the plumbing layout. After the new piping is installed, drywall patching and finish work may require another few days. We plan the job in stages so you’re rarely without water for more than a few hours, and we always provide a detailed timeline before work begins.
Which piping materials do you use, and why?
We primarily install Type L copper or PEX-A tubing. Copper is extremely durable, resists UV light, and can last 50+ years. PEX-A is flexible, less expensive, and ideal for retrofits because it can be snaked through walls with minimal demolition. Both materials meet Tennessee plumbing code, are lead-free, and carry manufacturer warranties. We’ll discuss the pros and cons of each during your consultation so you can choose the best option for your budget and preferences.
Will repiping my home disrupt my daily routine?
Our goal is to keep disruptions to a minimum. We isolate sections of the plumbing so you maintain partial water service, typically restoring full usage every evening. Floor coverings, dust barriers, and daily cleanups protect your home, and we coordinate with you to schedule any temporary water shut-offs at convenient times. Most clients in Soddy-Daisy find they can remain in the home throughout the project without significant inconvenience.
How is the cost of a whole-home repipe calculated?
Pricing is based on four main factors: (1) the size and story count of your home, (2) pipe material (copper vs. PEX), (3) accessibility—whether we can use existing chases or must open walls and ceilings, and (4) code upgrades such as new shut-off valves or pressure-reducing valves. After a free in-home assessment, we provide a fixed-price quote that covers labor, materials, permits, drywall repair, and final inspection—no hidden fees.
Does a full repipe add value to my property?
Yes. Prospective buyers and home inspectors view new plumbing as a major selling point because it eliminates the risk of leaks and brings the system up to current code. In Soddy-Daisy’s competitive real-estate market, a documented whole-home repipe can boost resale value and shorten time on market, often yielding a return on investment that exceeds the initial cost, especially if the old pipes were galvanized or polybutylene.
