Dennis H.

"Adam Haynes was here 1/15/16 to replace a washing machine 'house' (where the water comes in to the house). He was very professional and NEAT. Always vacuuming. This is the second time I used HEP and would recommend them from my experiences."

Suzanne I.

"Chris came to our house to help with a leak that we were having in bathroom. He was very courteous, professional and very knowledgeable. I would definitely use him again."

Penney W.

"Quick and quality service. Great guys, dug up 2 tanks and pumped them both in a timely manner. I thought we needed a new pump, but these guys just pointed out all it was a pipe had disconnected so the pump wasn't pulling anything. Noticing the problem, they were quick to fix it. James and Pete, you guys rock!"

Tyler B.

"Nathan was courteous and professional. He worked diligently to solve my plumbing issue. If I have any other plumbing problems, I will not hesitate to request him."

Amy W.

"Had a very stubborn clogged kitchen sink causing a very slow drain. HEP sent Preston out and was unable to clear the clog with a snake. He did a good job but the clog just kept collapsing. Scheduled to have the pipes cleaned out or replaced. Josh and Gary showed up and they were more stubborn than the clog. After a few attempts to get the jet head through several several twists and turns in the pipe, they were able to clean out the pipe to the main. Great job and will use them again for any future plumbing problems. Thanks guys."

Ronald F.

"HEP did a fantastic job helping our friends out when some pipes were leaking in the ceiling downstairs. Not only were they efficient and kind, they even cleaned up after they were done! Props to James, Wes, and John for their friendly attitudes and excellent service. I know my friends will use them again!"

Why Plumbing Pipe Upgrades Matter in Tennessee

Tennessee’s mix of humid summers, occasional winter freezes, and mineral-rich groundwater can accelerate pipe corrosion and scale buildup. Aging galvanized or polybutylene lines may leak, lower water pressure, or even compromise water quality. Upgrading your plumbing pipes with HEP safeguards your home against these regional challenges while improving overall system performance.

Signs Your Home Needs a Pipe Upgrade

Discolored or metallic-tasting water
Frequent leaks or visible corrosion on exposed lines
Inconsistent water pressure between fixtures
Unexplained spikes in water bills
Piping installed before the mid-1990s (especially galvanized or polybutylene)

HEP’s Plumbing Pipe Upgrade Services

Comprehensive Inspection

HEP’s licensed plumbers begin with a full assessment of your current plumbing network. Using in-line cameras and pressure tests, they identify hidden weak points behind walls, beneath slabs, and in crawl spaces common to Tennessee homes.

Material Options: Copper, PEX, & More

Copper piping for long life and superior heat tolerance
PEX tubing for flexibility, freeze resistance, and quieter water flow
CPVC alternatives for targeted hot-water runs

The HEP team explains the pros, cons, and lifespan of each material so homeowners can select the best fit for budget, layout, and water chemistry.

Seamless Project Management

From securing local permits to final system flush, HEP coordinates every stage of the upgrade. Protective floor coverings, debris containment, and post-work clean-up minimize disruption to daily life.

Code Compliance and Safety

All installations follow the International Plumbing Code as adopted across Tennessee municipalities. HEP’s adherence to strict safety protocols ensures proper pressure ratings, backflow prevention, and insulation against freezing temperatures.

Benefits of Choosing HEP for Pipe Upgrades

Reduced risk of future leaks and costly water damage
Consistent, balanced water pressure at every tap
Improved water clarity and taste
Potential homeowner insurance discounts for modernized plumbing
Increased property value and buyer confidence

The Pipe Upgrade Process: What Tennessee Homeowners Can Expect

Initial consultation and on-site evaluation
Customized upgrade plan with recommended materials
Permit acquisition and project scheduling
Isolating and draining existing water lines
Removal of old piping with minimal drywall intrusion
Installation of new supply lines and secure connections
Pressure testing and sanitation flushing

Environmental and Efficiency Advantages

Modern piping significantly reduces water loss from pinhole leaks and outdated fittings. By delivering stable water pressure, new pipes also improve appliance efficiency—especially tankless water heaters and high-efficiency dishwashers common in Tennessee homes.

Maintaining Your New Pipes

Keep indoor temperatures above 55 °F during cold snaps to prevent freezing
Install or verify proper insulation around exposed lines in crawl spaces and attics
Schedule periodic system checks to ensure fittings remain tight and corrosion-free
Flush your water heater annually to limit sediment buildup and preserve pipe integrity

Investing in a plumbing pipe upgrade with HEP equips Tennessee homeowners with durable, efficient water delivery for decades to come.
