FAQs
Why should I consider upgrading the plumbing pipes in my Speedwell home?
Older galvanized steel or polybutylene pipes common in Speedwell properties can corrode, leak, or leach rust into your water. Upgrading to modern PEX or copper increases flow, improves water quality, reduces the risk of burst pipes during winter freezes, and adds value to your home.
How do I know if my current piping needs replacement?
Warning signs include discolored water, frequent leaks, low water pressure, and visible corrosion on exposed pipes. In Speedwell, houses built before 1990 often used outdated materials. A professional camera inspection can confirm internal pipe wear and pinpoint hidden issues.
Which pipe material is best for a full-home repipe in Speedwell?
PEX is the most popular because it’s flexible, resistant to freezing, and cost-effective. Copper is preferred for its longevity and natural bacteria resistance, but it costs more. CPVC offers good chemical resistance but is less tolerant of freezing temps. Our plumbers evaluate your budget, water chemistry, and layout to recommend the optimal material.
Will a pipe upgrade disrupt my daily routine?
We stage the project room-by-room, so you always have at least one operational bathroom and kitchen sink. In most Speedwell homes, a full repipe takes 2–4 days. We use minimally invasive wall access panels and clean up each evening so you can safely occupy your home during the upgrade.
Do I need permits for pipe replacement in Speedwell?
Yes. Washington County requires plumbing permits and post-installation inspections for any whole-house repipe or major pipe reroute. As licensed Speedwell master plumbers, we obtain the permits, schedule inspections, and ensure all work complies with the latest Tennessee plumbing code.
What warranty do you provide on new plumbing pipes?
We include a 25-year manufacturer warranty on PEX or copper tubing and a 10-year labor warranty covering workmanship, fittings, and connections. If any covered issue arises, simply call us and we’ll repair or replace the affected section at no cost.
