How Much Time Does it Take to Repipe a Bathroom

 

You buy your home, and you live happily in it for many years to come. The shower works great, the toilet flushes just as it should and the sinks are free and clear. But what happens over time to pipes? They can develop leaks, and eventually corrosion will eat away at them. This is when you know it is time to stop patching up those pipes and repipe your bathrooms.

How long will this process take?

Re-piping your bathrooms generally do not take much time. Most jobs can be completed in 1 to 3 days. You should allow an extra 2 days for inspections. And drywall and painting will take another 1 to 2 days. Some companies include drywall and painting in the job.

Factors to consider

When planning to re-pipe your bathrooms, you want to take a few factors into consideration. This will determine the amount of time it takes for the job. Does the company you are hiring offer drywall and painting? If not, you will need to hire another company for this, and this will add extra time. Also, how far from the road are your pipes? The further away, the more work there will be. Is your bathroom above a basement, or is it on the ground floor? If there is a basement, there will be easy access to the pipes. If not, the workers will have to use a crawl space which could take more time.

Important questions to ask

Ask the company if they have liability insurance, and ask to see it. Verify that they have licenses from the Contractors State License Board. And check with different companies for a quote before confirming with one. Also, be sure they give you step-by-step of each process and cost before doing it.

Conclusion

Re-piping a bathroom can be frustrating if you don’t know the proper steps. When finding your business, be sure and ask all of the questions above and any that you think of on your own. If they are reliable, there shouldn’t be a problem.
