The typical home in the ZIP codes around Mount Pleasant was built in the 1980s. Gray polybutylene was installed in many homes during these decades and has a known failure history. The crew dries any resulting loss. That history does not replace an inspection of the actual pipe.
Warm-climate construction may leave pipes in less protected spaces. A cold snap can catch those lines. Attic water can run down framing into lower rooms.
