Matthews Biggest Plumbing Problems

Slab Leaks in 1960s Through 1980s Homes

Matthews older neighborhoods near the historic town center and Trade Street have homes from the 1960s through 1980s with copper supply lines that have absorbed 40 to 60 years of Carolina red clay foundation movement. Slab leaks in these established Matthews neighborhoods are a consistent year-round service call.

Polybutylene Pipe Failure in 1980s Homes

Matthews neighborhoods built in the 1980s commonly have gray polybutylene supply lines now at end of life. These pipes fail at fittings and along the pipe body, often inside walls before any visible sign appears. Homes in this age range should be inspected if they have not been repiped.

PEX Fitting Failures in 1990s and 2000s Communities

Matthews growth-era communities from the 1990s and 2000s used PEX supply lines with brass crimp fittings now 20 to 30 years old. Stallings and Weddington area homeowners are seeing a growing number of joint failures behind walls and under slabs.

Tree Root Sewer Intrusion

Matthews established neighborhoods have mature hardwood canopies with root systems seeking out older sewer laterals. Recurring backups after summer storms in the same fixture are typically root intrusion rather than a simple clog.
