How much does whole house repiping cost in Charlotte, NC?
Published local ranges for a polybutylene to PEX repipe run from about $3,500 to $12,000, driven by square footage, number of bathrooms and wall access.
Charlotte is a city of older tree lined neighborhoods and fast growing new builds, and the plumbing reflects both.
Homes in the Charlotte area built from the late 1970s through the mid 1990s may carry polybutylene, and older houses in Myers Park, Dilworth and NoDa may still have galvanized steel. Low pressure, brown water and repeated pinhole leaks are the clues. We map the system and give you a written scope for PEX or copper.

- Grey or blue plastic supply lines in the crawl space, attic or near the water heater

Do I need a permit in Mecklenburg County?
Many jobs such as water heater replacement, repiping, sewer work and gas work need a permit. The local building department sets the rules, and we handle permits as part of the work.
How do I know if I have polybutylene?
Look for grey or blue flexible plastic pipe near the water heater, the main shutoff or in a crawl space. Markings may include PB.
PEX or copper?
PEX is faster and less expensive and handles minor freezing better. Copper lasts a long time and some owners prefer it. We price both.
