Important Warning for Greensboro Homeowners (Polybutylene Pipes)

If your home was built between 1975 and 1995, there is a strong chance it may still have polybutylene (PB) water pipes.

These gray plastic pipes were widely installed throughout Greensboro and the Piedmont Triad and are now recognized as one of the most failure-prone plumbing materials ever used in residential construction

water-repipe

Why Polybutylene Pipes Are Dangerous:

  • They become brittle when exposed to chlorine in city water
  • They fail suddenly without visible warning
  • They often burst behind walls, ceilings, or slabs
  • They cause major water damage and insurance claims
  • They are no longer approved for residential plumbing

Many homeowners do not discover polybutylene piping until after a major flood or insurance loss.

If your home still has PB piping, the safest solution is a full whole-house repipe before catastrophic failure occurs.

Galvanized Steel Pipe Warning (Common in Older Greensboro Homes)

Many Greensboro homes built before the 1960s still have galvanized steel water pipes, which corrode slowly from the inside out.

Why Galvanized Pipes Are a Serious Problem:

  • Corrosion restricts water flow and lowers pressure
  • Rust flakes discolor water and damage fixtures
  • Pipes develop pinhole leaks and hidden wall damage
  • Failures often occur in multiple locations once corrosion starts

Because the damage happens inside the pipe, spot repairs usually only delay the inevitable.

If your home still has galvanized plumbing, a full repipe is often the only reliable long-term solution.

Why Repiping is Common in Greensboro, NC

Greensboro homes face unique plumbing challenges due to aging construction materials and local water conditions.

Polybutylene failures in 1970s–1990s homes

Brittle older CPVC cracking from temperature changes

Hard water mineral buildup restricting pipes

Seasonal freeze-thaw stress on rigid plumbing

Galvanized steel corrosion reducing pressure and flow

How to Tell What Type of Pipes You Have

Not sure what kind of pipes are in your home? Here are a few easy ways to check:

Common Pipe Types:

  • Polybutylene: Gray plastic pipe stamped “PB2110”
  • Galvanized Steel: Silver or dark gray metal with threaded fittings
  • Copper: Reddish-brown metal pipe
  • CPVC: Cream or off-white rigid plastic
  • PEX: Flexible red, blue, or white tubing

Look under sinks, near your water heater, at the main shut-off valve, or in crawl spaces and basements.

If you’re unsure, our Plumber can identify your piping quickly and explain your options — with no pressure and no obligation.

Signs You May Need a Whole House Repipe

  • Frequent or recurring pipe leaks
  • Rust-colored, cloudy, or metallic-tasting water
  • Low or uneven water pressure throughout the home
  • Pinhole leaks in copper pipes
  • Known polybutylene or galvanized plumbing
  • Remodeling projects exposing old piping

If plumbing problems keep returning, repiping is often safer, more affordable long-term, and far less stressful than constant emergency repairs.

Trusted by Greensboro Homeowners

Zach and Anthony were so helpful with my plumbing issue. They were kind and explained everything really well. They were very thorough as well. When I called to make the appt the woman who helped me with that was very professional and kind also. Great company. I will definitely be using them again.

I had another plumbing issue arise and contacted Sunshine Plumbing because of the great experience working with them previously. Again, they delivered top tier service and got us all straightened out. We had a leaking pipe in our basement and while they were down there they fixed a couple of other things that had been done incorrectly by our home’s previous owner. I found their pricing to be reasonable and their techs are awesome. They really take a lot of time to explain what’s wrong and what things are a priority to fix vs things that can wait. Highly recommend them!!

Evie Curley

I’ve worked with Sunshine Plumbing many times and they’ve always done an outstanding job. Their team is professional, reliable, and consistently delivers high-quality work. Whether it’s a small repair or a bigger project, they handle it with care and attention to detail. I appreciate their honesty, fair pricing, and quick response whenever I’ve needed them. Highly recommend Sunshine Plumbing to anyone looking for a dependable plumbing company!

Alex Wolfe

Great team that replaced a tankless water heater in 3 days, well below the cost of other companies. Had them out a separate time to replace bathroom sink faucets, and again Sunshine Plumbing did a great job. Highly recommend.

Jimmy G

Sunshine Plumbing came out to my home to help with a plumbing issue, they were efficient, thorough, and very kind getting the job done within all of 30 minutes. I highly recommend this plumbing company!

Adrienne Adams

I had an exceptional experience with Sunshine Plumbing, LLC in North Carolina! We had a leaking toilet that required replacing a pipe, removing concrete, and part of a wall—a messy and complex job. Their team arrived promptly, assessed the issue thoroughly, and provided a reasonable quote that didn’t break the bank. What stood out was their honesty and expertise—they even suggested ways to save money on the concrete work, which we greatly appreciated. The work was completed efficiently, and the quality was top-notch. Sunshine Plumbing is professional, reliable, and truly cares about their customers. I highly recommend them for any plumbing needs!
