Common Pipe Issues

The water in the area, combined with aging pipe materials, can sometimes lead to pipe issues over time. Some homes in the area may have old pipes with copper, galvanized steel, or Polybutylene (poly) piping. We frequently see this in homes built in the 70s and 80s. These kinds of issues from aging pipes can contribute to:

Frequently leaks and pinhole patches
Rusty or discolored water (your water should not have a brownish look to it)
Sudden drops in water pressure
Visible pipe corrosion

How to Spot Pipe Problems

Some signs in your home may indicate something is going wrong with your pipes. Some ways to spot pipe problems include:

Pay attention to banging, rattling, or unusual sounds from pipes
Suddenly higher than normal water bills which can indicate a hidden leak
Visible corrosion or pipe damage
Drops in water pressure can indicate mineral build up inside pipes or hidden leaks.

Pipe Repair vs. Repiping

After inspecting the condition of your pipes, we make every effort to make the best recommendations for your property. In many cases, single, localized issues such as a punctured line behind a wall can be repaired with a single pipe repair. This is a more cost-effective solution for homeowners and business owners.

Pipe repairs are a targeted plumbing solution that can repair specific areas without needing to replace the entire system. This could include repairing burst or cracked sections of a pipe, repairing pinhole leaks, or fixing leaking pipes under sinks. In order to determine the best course of action, a professional inspection is needed.

Alternatively, our master-level plumbing team may recommend repiping for some scenarios. In this case, we create a durable pipe lining with new plumbing materials. While this can be more costly, it is necessary in the case of severe damage and as a feasible long-term solution. Whole-home repiping may be recommended for low water pressure, aging pipes, or frequent pipe leaks.

Frequently Asked Questions

You Have Questions, We Have Answers

At Call Red Truck Plumbing, we know you have questions about plumbing repair and service. That is why we gathered the top questions asked by local home and business owners.

How do I know if my older Fuquay-Varina home has polybutylene (poly) piping

Many homes built in southern Wake County during the 1970s, 1980s, and early 1990s were plumbed with polybutylene—a flexible, gray plastic pipe. Over time, water treatment chemicals cause these pipes to become brittle and burst without warning. If you see gray piping near your water heater, under sinks, or in a crawl space, contact us for an inspection before a costly leak occurs.

Will a whole-home repipe require tearing down all my drywall?

Not when done by professionals. We use specialized diagnostic tools to map your plumbing infrastructure before making a single cut. This allows us to run new lines through the smallest possible entry points behind your walls. Our team prioritizes non-destructive techniques, keeping property disruption to an absolute minimum and maintaining a clean job site.

What materials do you use when replacing old pipes?

We exclusively install industry-standard, high-grade materials like PEX (Cross-linked Polyethylene) and Copper. PEX is highly favored for repiping projects across Fuquay-Varina because its flexibility allows it to handle the ground shifts common to North Carolina soils and expand safely during occasional winter freezes, virtually eliminating future pinhole leaks.

Does the Town of Fuquay-Varina require building permits for a repipe?

Yes. Whole-house repiping alters the permanent utility infrastructure of your property, which requires permitting and code enforcement inspections. As part of our comprehensive service, Call Red Truck Plumbing handles the entire administrative process—from pulling the initial Town of Fuquay-Varina permits to coordinating final municipal inspections.

Is a single pipe repair safe, or am I just delaying the inevitable?

If your plumbing system is relatively modern and has suffered an isolated issue such as a stray nail puncturing a pipe behind a wall, a targeted repair is highly effective and completely safe. However, if your system is suffering from widespread corrosion or systemic polybutylene failure, patching single leaks is a short-term band-aid. We will always give you an honest evaluation of your pipes’ overall lifespan.
