Homes in Selma are mainly post-2000 subdivisions with a small historic core, 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.
Selma, Texas contends with new-build slabs settling on clay in their first decade, and that accelerates what is already an aging-materials problem. Pipe that would last elsewhere gives out sooner when the ground beneath it will not hold still.
We walk the house, find the pipe material at the water heater and under sinks, and put the scope in writing before quoting. No repipe should be priced from the driveway.
