Yes. We route PEX through attic spaces and drop down inside walls at fixture points wherever possible, so most of our cuts happen at floor level or behind cabinetry. When we do have to open lath-and-plaster, we cut small and clean, and we coordinate with restoration contractors who specialize in historic St. Petersburg homes. We have done dozens of these and we know which contractors do the patching well.

Yes, and it shows up first as crusty white or green buildup on the supply and gas connections, then as pitting, then as failure. We replace these connections with marine-grade or 316 stainless components when we are working on a bayfront home, because the standard brass and steel will fail again at the same rate. Annual inspection is also worth doing, especially on second homes.

It depends on the visible condition of the rest of the galvanized. If we open the wall and see corrosion at multiple joints, scale visible at every fitting, and a homeowner planning to stay in the home for another five-plus years, repipe is usually the better economic answer. If the visible system is in decent shape and only one joint has failed, a spot repair is fine. We walk through it honestly with you on-site.

Yes. We provide written repair scope, photographic documentation of the cause and effect, and direct communication with your adjuster if you give us permission. We are not the ones who decide what is covered, but we make sure the technical documentation is precise enough that the adjuster has no grounds to dispute the cause.

Response time varies by neighborhood, 45 to 70 minutes from Tampa via I-275. Downtown and Old Northeast are faster, Pinellas Point and Coquina Key take longer. We will give you a real ETA when you call based on traffic at that hour, not a four-hour window.
