Why repiping comes up in Coral Springs
Polybutylene and aging copper in 1970s–80s homes leak.
Coral Springs's median home dates to 1988, so the typical house was plumbed with copper or CPVC supply, plastic drains, and in some homes gray polybutylene supply pipe. Repiping in these homes is usually about a specific material problem, such as polybutylene or repeated pinhole leaks in one copper run, rather than a whole-house rust problem.
