Homes in Converse are heavily weighted to the 1970s and 1980s, 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 Converse is polybutylene supply lines that fail at the fittings without warning. 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 hard water from SAWS and area utilities in Converse affects each, and then you choose.
