Common Plumbing Issues in Carmel
Mixed material pipe transitions
1970s-1980s Carmel homes often have transitions between galvanized steel and copper piping. Dissimilar metals corrode at connection points, causing leaks and restricted flow.
Polybutylene pipe failures
Homes built in the 1980s-early 1990s may have polybutylene (PB) pipes installed. These gray plastic pipes fail from chlorine exposure and require replacement before causing water damage.
CPVC brittleness
Older CPVC (cream-colored plastic) supply lines become brittle with age and can crack during repairs or temperature changes. Manifests as sudden leaks near fittings.
Water heater sediment buildup
Charlotte's moderately hard water deposits sediment in tank water heaters over time, reducing efficiency and lifespan. Annual flushing extends equipment life.
Irrigation system leaks
Carmel's landscaped properties often have aging irrigation systems with underground leaks. High water bills during non-watering seasons indicate hidden problems.
