Pipe Upgrades

Why Upgrade Your Plumbing Pipes in Cleveland?

Cleveland’s mix of historic homes and fluctuating Midwest weather puts unique stress on residential and commercial plumbing systems. Aging galvanized steel lines, mineral-rich water, and freeze-thaw cycles can accelerate corrosion, leaks, and pressure loss. A professional plumbing pipe upgrade from HEP eliminates these issues, improves water quality, and safeguards property value.

The Pipe Upgrade Process

Inspection & Assessment

HEP technicians conduct a camera-assisted evaluation, mapping every run of supply and drain piping to pinpoint weaknesses and prioritize upgrades.

Customized Upgrade Plan

A detailed scope outlines material selections, fixture tie-ins, and phased work to accommodate occupant schedules.

Professional Installation

Certified crews remove outdated lines, install modern piping, and test each section at high pressure to verify integrity before closing walls.

Post-Upgrade Testing

Flow-rate measurements, water-quality sampling, and thermal imaging confirm system performance exceeds local code requirements.

Sustainable Solutions for Cleveland Homes

Water-Efficient Fixtures

HEP can pair pipe upgrades with low-flow faucets, showerheads, and dual-flush toilets to reduce daily consumption.

Eco-Friendly Disposal

Old metal piping is separated for recycling, and all jobsite debris is hauled to approved facilities, minimizing landfill impact.

• Schedule annual inspections to catch small issues early
• Insulate exposed sections to combat Cleveland’s winter lows
• Flush water heaters to remove sediment build-up
• Avoid chemical drain cleaners that can erode new piping
• Keep appliance supply lines up to date with braided stainless steel hoses
