FAQs
How do I know my Speedwell home needs whole-home repiping?
Common warning signs include frequent leaks, low water pressure, rusty or discolored water, unexplained spikes in water bills, and pipes that are 40–60 years old or made of galvanized steel, polybutylene, or early copper prone to pin-holing. A no-obligation camera inspection and pressure test from our team will confirm whether targeted repairs are possible or a full repipe is the safer, more cost-effective option.
What piping materials do you recommend for Speedwell’s climate and water quality?
We typically install Type L copper or PEX-A (cross-linked polyethylene) because they resist the slightly hard mineral content found in Speedwell’s municipal and well supplies. Copper offers unmatched longevity and fire resistance, while PEX-A is quieter, more flexible for tight crawl spaces, and better at handling wintertime expansion and contraction. After testing your water, we explain the pros, cons, and warranty coverage of each so you can choose confidently.
How long does a complete repipe project usually take and will I have to leave my house?
A 2-bath, 1,800 sq ft home usually takes 2–3 working days; larger or more complex layouts may require up to a week. We stage work so you keep at least one bathroom and the kitchen operational most of the time, meaning you can stay in the home. Water is typically shut off for only a few hours while we make the final tie-ins. We protect floors, furniture, and belongings with drop cloths and plastic sheeting each day so you can resume normal living every evening.
What does whole-home repiping cost in Speedwell and what factors influence the price?
Most projects fall between $4,000 and $12,000. Key variables include the number of fixtures, pipe material (PEX is usually 20–30 % less than copper), accessibility of crawl spaces or attics, the need for drywall/ tile restoration, and any code-required upgrades such as new shut-off valves or pressure-reducing valves. We provide a fixed, written quote after a free on-site evaluation and also offer 0 % financing plans to spread the investment over 12–60 months.
Will my walls and floors be damaged during repiping and how is everything restored afterward?
Small, strategic access holes (about 6" × 6") are cut in drywall near fixtures and manifolds. We use infrared cameras and stud finders to minimize openings and avoid structural members. Once piping is complete, our in-house drywall specialists patch, texture-match, and prime every area; painters follow to blend repairs seamlessly with surrounding surfaces. Flooring is rarely disturbed because we route pipe through attics, crawl spaces, or joist bays instead of slab cuts whenever possible.
Do you handle permits and inspections for repiping projects in Speedwell, and is the work guaranteed?
Yes. Speedwell and Claiborne County require permits for whole-home repiping. We file all paperwork, schedule city inspections, and remain on-site to ensure the work passes on the first visit. Every repipe comes with a 25-year manufacturer’s warranty on pipe and fittings plus our own 10-year labor warranty. You’ll also receive a detailed completion packet containing permit numbers, inspection approvals, and care tips for your new plumbing system.
