FAQs
What is PEX piping and why is it recommended for plumbing upgrades in Ten Mile?
PEX (cross-linked polyethylene) is a flexible, durable plastic pipe that resists corrosion, scale buildup, and freeze damage better than traditional copper or galvanized steel. In Ten Mile’s variable climate, the pipe’s ability to expand slightly without bursting makes it ideal for reducing freeze-related leaks. PEX also has fewer joints, lowering the risk of future pinhole leaks and improving overall water pressure.
How does a PEX repipe compare to keeping my existing copper or galvanized lines?
Older metal pipes can corrode, rust internally, and accumulate mineral deposits from Ten Mile’s hard water, leading to discolored water, low pressure, and frequent leaks. PEX is immune to corrosion, doesn’t leach metal into the water, and maintains a smooth interior surface for decades. Because PEX tubing can be snaked through walls with minimal cutting, installation is faster and less invasive, saving on labor and drywall repair costs.
Will my water be shut off during the upgrade, and if so, for how long?
Yes, water must be shut off when the crew ties the new PEX lines into the main supply and fixtures. For a typical single-family home in Ten Mile, the total water-off window ranges from 4–8 hours, usually scheduled in one block or split over two short periods. We coordinate timing with you so you have advance notice and can fill pitchers or buckets for essentials.
Is PEX piping approved by local building codes and safe for my family’s drinking water?
Absolutely. The International Residential Code (IRC) and Tennessee’s plumbing code both approve PEX for potable water systems. Our installers pull the required Ten Mile permits, and a city or county inspector signs off on every project. PEX is certified to NSF/ANSI 61 for drinking water safety, contains no lead, and remains taste-neutral, so your water quality is actually improved compared with aging metal lines.
How long will the repiping project take and what areas of my home will be affected?
Most Ten Mile homes are fully repiped in 1–2 days. Technicians fish flexible PEX through attics, crawl spaces, and existing wall cavities, opening only small access panels near fixture locations. We protect floors, furniture, and cabinetry with drop cloths and clean up nightly. Drywall patches are completed the same week, and paint matching is available as an add-on service.
What does a PEX repipe cost and what kind of warranty do you provide?
Project cost depends on home size, fixture count, and crawl-space or slab conditions, but a typical 2-bath Ten Mile home ranges from $4,500 to $7,500, including permits and basic drywall repair. We offer free in-home estimates with firm, written pricing. All materials come with a 25-year manufacturer warranty, and our labor is warrantied for 10 years, giving you peace of mind that your new plumbing system is built to last.
