How do I prepare my whole house for a repipe?

In some cases, they may move furniture to protect it and get it out of the way. They’ll then cut holes in your walls, floors, and ceiling to expose the existing pipes.</p><p>They’ll also turn off your water, but they’ll leave at least one bathroom and the kitchen functioning at the end of the day. You’ll need to plan accordingly.</p></div>

Q: Who pays for repairs found in a home inspection?

• <div><p>There are no strict rules for who is responsible for covering repair costs after a home inspection, but major issues with the home often result in a renegotiation.

Q: Can I skip a home inspection?

• <div><p>There are some instances where a buyer may want to skip a home inspection, but this is not usually recommended.

Q: Does homeowners insurance cover polybutylene pipes?

Some homeowners insurance companies have been threatening to terminate policies if homeowners do not replace them.

Quick completion, cleaned up well. Disappointed that they had to return after the first rain to seal around the chimney to stop a small leak. Will have a better idea of how they did after the next rain. Otherwise a good experience.
