Plumbing in Chapel Hill, NC

If your Chapel Hill home has galvanized steel supply pipes (common in pre-1985 homes), re-piping with PEX or copper is the most reliable long-term solution. Signs you need re-piping include brown water, declining water pressure, or frequent pinhole leaks. We can re-pipe most Chapel Hill homes in 2-3 days with minimal wall damage.

Chapel Hill's diverse housing stock includes galvanized steel (pre-1985), copper (1970s-2000s), CPVC (1990s-2010s), and PEX (2000s-present) for supply lines. Drain lines include cast iron (pre-1980), ABS (1970s-1990s), and PVC (1990s-present). Each material has different lifespans and failure modes that we evaluate during inspections.

Low water pressure in older Chapel Hill homes is almost always caused by corroded galvanized pipes. Other causes include failing pressure regulators, mineral buildup at fixtures, or municipal supply issues. We diagnose the specific cause and recommend the most cost-effective solution. Sometimes it's a fixture cleaning, other times it's a partial or full re-pipe.
