How long a pipe replacement project takes will depend on a lot of different factors, like the type of pipes you have, the extent of damage to your pipes, the location of the needed replacement, and how complex your pipe system is. While the average time for pipe replacement is usually a few days, it can take longer depending on the aforementioned factors.
For smaller pipe replacement projects, like replacing sections under your sink or in your yard, we might be done within the day if all goes well. However, if you’re needing large areas of pipe to be replaced throughout an entire home or commercial building, that kind of job can take anywhere from a couple days to a couple weeks. The easier the pipes are to access, usually the quicker the job goes. But if your pipes are deep inside your building’s walls, floors, or even underground, your replacement job will likely take longer while we excavate them.
Generally speaking, we will begin by excavating your pipes and carefully removing the ones that need replacing. From there, it’s a simple process of installing the new pipes, connecting them to the existing plumbing system, and testing to make sure everything is working as it should.
To make sure that your pipe replacement job goes as smoothly as possible, you will likely want to book an inspection first to make sure that we know what we’re working with on your property and are able to give you an accurate estimate for how long a job will take while considering your specific needs.
