Homes in Bulverde are mostly 1990s onward, with older ranch properties mixed in, and that date range is the single best predictor of what is behind the drywall. Late-seventies and eighties construction here often still carries polybutylene; pre-1960 houses frequently run galvanized.
The issue we run into most in Bulverde is heavy mineral scale that clogs aerators, valves and heater elements. Failing supply lines do not announce themselves politely — they leak behind a wall, inside a slab, or above a ceiling, and the repair bill follows the water.
PEX or copper is a genuine decision, not a default. We explain the tradeoffs for your house specifically, including how notably hard Trinity Aquifer water, often from private wells in Bulverde affects each, and then you choose.
