About Berkeley
Berkeley is one of South Charlotte's most sought-after neighborhoods in the Ballantyne area, featuring quality homes built in the late 1980s through early 1990s. Known for its rolling hills, mature landscaping, tree-lined streets, and access to top-ranked Charlotte-Mecklenburg schools including Providence Springs Elementary, JM Robinson Middle, and Providence High School, Berkeley combines family-friendly living with convenient access to Blakeney, Stonecrest, and Providence Road shopping.
Common Plumbing Issues in Berkeley
Polybutylene pipe replacement
Many late 1980s-early 1990s Berkeley homes were built with polybutylene (PB) pipes, which fail due to chlorine degradation. These gray plastic pipes should be replaced with copper or PEX before causing water damage.
Water heater aging
Original 30-40 gallon water heaters from the late 1980s-1990s are well past their 15-year lifespan. Modern high-efficiency or tankless units better serve today's larger families.
Copper pinhole leaks
Homes built with copper supply lines may develop pinhole leaks after 30+ years due to Charlotte's water chemistry. Manifests as wet spots on walls or ceilings.
Slab leak detection
Berkeley homes built on concrete slabs may have copper lines running under the foundation. Unexplained water bills or warm floor spots indicate potential slab leaks.
Garbage disposal upgrades
Builder-grade 1/3 HP disposals from the 1990s struggle with modern family use. Upgrading to 3/4 HP or 1 HP units handles daily demands more reliably.
