Polybutylene in the walls
Gray, flexible pipe used heavily here from the late 70s to mid 90s. It fails without warning, settlements were paid over it, and insurers increasingly surcharge or decline homes that keep it.
Repiping — all of Brevard
Brevard's polybutylene-era housing is repiping street by street. Get the free written quote before the next leak — or the insurance letter — decides the timing for you.
Who this is for
Almost every repipe booked in this county starts one of three ways.
Gray, flexible pipe used heavily here from the late 70s to mid 90s. It fails without warning, settlements were paid over it, and insurers increasingly surcharge or decline homes that keep it.
A four-point inspection or renewal letter naming your plumbing. Repipe quotes documented for exactly this purpose — done, permitted, and papered for the carrier.
Second slab leak, third pinhole — aging copper in aggressive soil telling you where this is going. A repipe prices the ending instead of the episodes.
Pre-70s galvanized supply lines rust shut from the inside: low pressure, rusty morning water, and threads that crumble on every repair.
How it works
Five steps, and you approve the price before any work starts.
Two minutes online — what’s wrong, your city, and when you need someone. Photos help if you have them.
Your request routes to an independent Florida-licensed plumber who covers your city and handles that kind of job — with their license number provided to you.
You’ll get a call from a local number to confirm details and set a time that works. Emergencies are flagged and prioritized.
The plumber quotes the job in person or from your photos. No work starts until you’ve said yes to a written price.
Work is performed under the contractor’s license and warranty. We follow up to make sure it went the way it should have.
What to expect
Knowing the shape of the job makes the quotes comparable.
| Phase | What happens | What to insist on |
|---|---|---|
| Walkthrough & quote | Count fixtures, plan routes, written price | Free, itemized, permit included |
| The switchover | New PEX or copper run, old lines abandoned | Water back on same day in most homes |
| Wall repair | Access openings patched | Who patches and to what finish — in writing |
| Inspection | County inspection under the permit | Never skipped; it protects you |
| Documentation | Permit records for your insurer | Copies before final payment |
Ready when you are
Free to use — describe the job once and the right plumber for your city takes it from there.
Questions
Water is typically off for hours, not days — crews run the new lines first, then switch over. Access openings in drywall get patched after inspection. Most Brevard single-family homes are a short project, not a renovation.
Both are legitimate; PEX dominates repipes for cost, speed and corrosion immunity in our soil and water. If you want copper, say so — the quote will show exactly what the preference costs.
Removing polybutylene commonly removes a surcharge or a decline-risk — the repipe is documented so your carrier gets proof. Your agent can tell you the number for your policy.
