Polybutylene is a known issue from this area’s building boom
A wave of construction across Broward County in the 1980s and 90s used polybutylene supply lines, and homes from that era around Lauderhill are worth checking for it.

How do I know if my house actually needs to be repiped?
A single leak gets patched. A pattern of leaks, discolored water at multiple fixtures, or noticeably low pressure throughout the house are signs the supply lines themselves are wearing out, not just one fitting. That is especially true for a home with original polybutylene pipe from the 1980s and 90s, a material known to become brittle and fail at its fittings over time, or old galvanized steel, which corrodes from the inside and narrows as it does.
A repipe replaces the supply lines throughout the home, typically working through it a room or a section at a time so water stays available to the rest of the house along the way. It is a bigger job than a single repair, but it also means the guesswork of which fitting will fail next goes away, replaced with new lines under warranty and a permit on file with the city.
Signs it’s time
What usually points to a full repipe
One of these on its own is a repair. Several together usually means something bigger.
Recurring leaks in different spots
A leak here, then another one there, over a period of months usually means the supply lines themselves are failing, not just one unlucky fitting.
Discolored water at more than one fixture
Rust or discoloration showing up house-wide, not just from one tap, points to corrosion inside the supply lines rather than a single bad connection.
Low water pressure throughout the house
Corroded or scaled supply lines narrow over time, which can drag pressure down at every fixture rather than just one.
Original polybutylene pipe from the 1980s or 90s
This gray or blue plastic pipe was common in that era and is known to become brittle and fail at its fittings as it ages.
Old galvanized steel supply lines
Galvanized pipe corrodes from the inside out, narrowing the line and eventually flaking rust directly into the water itself.

Before you call
Repiping, answered
Do I have to move out of the house during a repipe?
Not usually. Work typically proceeds room by room or section by section, so the house stays livable, though a room in progress is out of use for a day.
How long does a whole-house repipe take?
Most residential repipes finish in a few days, depending on the size of the home and how many fixtures need reconnecting.
Will walls need to be cut open?
Some access is usually necessary, and those areas get patched afterward. The exact approach depends on how the original lines were run.
Is repiping something insurance would cover?
That depends on the policy and the reason for the repipe, which is a question best directed to the insurance company.
New lines, no more guessing
A repipe ends the pattern of one leak after another
