Greenlee Plumbing provides professional polybutylene replacement and whole-building repipes for apartment communities, condominiums, and multi-unit properties throughout South Carolina.

These systems are common in Charleston-area, Columbia, Greenville, and Myrtle Beach multifamily buildings from that era

Cities and Areas with Known Polybutylene and Copper Issues in South Carolina

Many garden-style apartments and condominium communities built in the 1980s and early 1990s used polybutylene for supply lines. Copper systems in coastal South Carolina can also develop pinhole leaks over time. In multi-unit buildings, a single leak often affects multiple residents and creates significant water damage before it is discovered.

The Cost of Waiting on Polybutylene in Multi-Unit Properties

Repeated small repairs do not solve the underlying problem. Polybutylene degrades from the inside, so new leaks appear in different locations. Property managers face ongoing emergency calls, tenant complaints, mold remediation, and rising insurance premiums. A planned whole-building repipe is typically more cost-effective than years of reactive repairs and reduces the risk of major water events.

Our Multi-Unit Repipe Process

✅ Full assessment and material identification

✅ Turnkey PEX (or copper) replacement with clear resident communication plans

✅ Licensed and insured for South Carolina projects

✅ Phased scheduling to keep as many units occupied as possible

✅ Focus on minimizing downtime and long-term insurance risk

What Property Managers Can Expect

We coordinate with on-site staff to schedule access, distribute notices, and protect occupied units. Work is performed cleanly and tested before walls are closed. After the project, the building has a modern, reliable water supply system that is easier to maintain and insure.

What is Polybutylene Pipe?

Polybutylene piping is a low-cost piping formed of plastic resin. It is commonly gray, white, or sometimes black in color. Poly piping is employed as a substitute for copper piping in both underground water mains and interior plumbing. Due to the ease of installing poly piping, it was used in the construction of millions of structures throughout the U.S. between 1978 and 1995; however, it has been discovered that as poly pipe ages and reacts with water-soluble oxidants, it begins to degrade and can leak, causing severe damage to the surrounding building structure.

The presence of polybutylene pipe can severely affect a home’s value on the real estate market. Poly pipe generally takes 10-15 years to begin to show signs of severe deterioration; therefore it is important to know what problems can be caused by its presence, and what can be done about it before it does pose a risk.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. If I could give this business a 10+ rating, I would. It's a pleasure (and rare) to find a company that is capable of working with the customer as Greenlee. From responding to my location, fixing the problem, and generally exceeding my wishes, they are the best. Thanks to the office staff (sorry I forgot her name) and especially to Brian who solved the problem.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Gregg and another guy came to my mother's house to determine the cause of a shower leak. They were courteous and knowledgeable. It was possibly due to caulking, drain pan or drain pipe. Once replicated, Gregg suggested it was leaking through the corner caulking and to recaulk the corners as a less expensive option first, and if that didn't work, he would come back to open up the sheetrock in the ceiling below to determine if it was the pan or drain pipe.  He and the other guy were very nice in explaining everything. Hopefully, that will fix it, but if not, I know he'll come back within 30 days from his visit date with no extra charge.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Making appointment to repair a leak at my home was easy to make. Many times to choose from. I was called before plumber arrived and it was well within the time frame I was given. The plumber knew exactly what the problem was. Explained clearly the work that was to be done and the exact cost for the repair. Very courteous and efficient service!
